    It won’t even be good, either. It won’t be some big-budget blockbuster; it’ll be a movie by Dave, the guy in your survival group that just doesn’t quite get it and still thinks there’s anybody left alive to appreciate art. Also he plays all the characters.

    AI will continue making movies after we’re gone. Bots will give reviews and post their opinion in forums

        tHe pOweR gRiD.

        You don’t live in the same world. There will be at least a few bots powered by solar, running for decades more.

          Do you have any examples of one of those bots?

          Corporations don’t tend to stablish autonomous solar systems to run their shit, they just connect to the power grid.

          And people who make autonomous solar systems tend to do other type of bots, if they even make a bot.

          Also ISPs don’t run on solar autonomous system afaik, so even if some bots are running it’s unlikely they will have internet access.

        I was just thinking this would make a good story. Solar panels begin to fail, the software is aware and experiences self preservation. Real Issac Asimov stuff

    That has happened already. All we’ve been getting since are sequels, prequels, remakes, revamps, reboots, …

    I don’t know about the last movie, but I think the last video recording will be of a woman any gender with unnaturally thick lips unnatural pick-me-style talking about how the apocalypse is so hard and nobody seems to understand just how much its affecting them personally and asking if anybody is alive out there to like and subscribe.

    As with everything that changes, there is no clean “cut off” where a last thing is made and then no more. Entertainment more than anything evolves and changes. There might be a last “traditional” movie made with a studio and sets and cameras, but by that time we will hardly notice, or our grandkids will hardly notice, as they have moved on to new more immersive or entertaining forms of escapism.

      Does any form of entertainment really die though? We still have stage plays and novels even though entertainment has evolved to films and television

        I don’t think so, there are plenty of hipsters dusting off old phonographs and vinyl records, hobbyists using old-fashioned cameras, modern musicians restoring old styles of instruments or tones.

        When I was little I used to imagine the future was going to be either some kind of sleek Star Trek world of clean utopian skylines, OR it would be an apocalyptic wasteland with people remembering the Before Times as the sky is choked with ash and smoke.

        The reality I have realized, is that the future is always just “more” of everything. We will have more poverty, more wealthy people, more diseases, more miracles, more hardships, more forms of entertainment, more wars and more peace. We will have more forms of entertainment and more ways to enjoy them.
