Welcome to Episode 36 of the Actor's Guide to the End of the World! This week, the AI Regulations Ban gets voted down by the Senate 99-1, so chalk one up for the good guys. Can’t speak about everything else in the bill, but that’s really good news for AI state regulations. Thanks to the overwhelming action taken by voters calling in to their local lawmakers and Senators, state AI laws will still be in effect and are safe… for now. The guys also discuss a recent MIT study on the brains of Chat GPT users and the results are TERRIFYING. You’ll want to hear this. We ask the hard questions - is anyone going to want to do the slow, hard work anymore? Rían shares how he used Chat GPT for the first time and what happened when E-Kan tried to adjust a picture of the Pyramids in Egypt in Chat GPT. Somehow the guys get on to the conversation of is it worth it to go to film school right now? Drama school? The guys also discuss the trending vertical shorts that are sweeping through the entertainment industry. Cheesy, addictive, and quick to shoot- what can go wrong? What actors need to know and are they good for your career? It’s the good, the bad, and the ugly on this week’s episode! https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-senate-strikes-ai-regulation-ban-trump-megabill-2025-07-01/ https://time.com/7295195/ai-chatgpt-google-learning-school/ AI post @airesearches -
