It's always funny seeing people post that image without the context that Palestine declared war on Israel alongside all its neighbours and attempted to push the Israeli population into the sea.

You have trillions of dollars worth of military equipment from the cold war mothballed or in storage.
Most of it will never see use because it's outdated technology. There are thousands of planes, tanks and miscellaneous vehicles just sitting out in the desert waiting to be scrapped or reactivated.

It means three times

What's the living wage in China?

Yes

Generations are generally ~20 years. It's been 3-4 generations since the first nuclear power plant, and less since the first commercial one. It'll certainly be at least one more before commercial fusion even being optimistic

Yes

Senators used to be appointed, and the House of Lords can no longer check the house of Commons, only delay.

Not religious, but if it works it works. Clearly there is joy in faith for some people.

A dystopia is properly a utopia with one critical flaw.

They were going on an adventure

Plenty of models can do hands just fine

The program might have required skill to write, but that's not an excuse for it to threaten entire industries.

We don't live in a world where industries exist just because it would be nice for them to and people need work.

An industry is a productive environment that creates products for others to buy. If the people buying from the current art industry care about human inspiration and the uniqueness they add to art, they will continue to buy from humans. If they do not, why should the state use it's monopoly on violence to cripple any other source of product?

Are artists some special class of people above every other group of workers who've lost their jobs to automation?

It's them or us

The later Space Odyssey entries were fairly optimistic. 3001 especially

They didn't say trace. A good artist can use the style of another artist when creating a new work.

The ability and willingness to generate images in a style associated with a person, without consent, is a threat to that persons job security and shows a lack of value for them as a human. As if their creative expression is worth nothing but as a commodity to be consumed.

You can't own an art style. Copyright only extends to discrete works and characters. If I pay a street artist to draw a portrait of me in the style of Picasso, I'm not devaluing Picasso as a person.

It sucked for candle makers when electric lights were adopted. It sucked for farriers and stable hands and saddle makers when cars became affordable for the average person. Such is the cost of progress.

This is true in US law but it should probably be noted that a lot of the "misconceptions" you're outlining in OP's comment are things that are legal in other jurisdictions
