Audiences attending the SXSW premiere of “The Fall Guy,” starring Ryan Gosling, were not happy about having to watch a sizzle reel before the movie that touted the promises of AI.

    AI is a tool that makes us X% more productive (X is still debatable and bound to change)

    But instead of making our job X% easier or let us earn X% more, work X% less, corporations are hellbent to fire X% of the workforce because that makes the most money.

    The fuck is a “sizzle reel”. I mean, I get what it probably is from context, but who comes up with this shit

          A short video normally no longer than 3 minutes designed to show off a product, usually in the form of a montage.

          It’s an old term so I can’t imagine how you could live your life and not hear the term.

            There’s no need to be a dick about it, just because you know a something doesn’t mean everyone else must also know it. I can guarantee there’s common terms you aren’t familiar with. Especially when you consider that this is marketing jargon with common alternate terms (eg demo reel).

          When

          Any time a product is being shown off.

          Context

          Fucking anything. Apple showing off its new iPhone features, a studio showing clips from its upcoming shows, and an actor showcasing their previous work.
