Should companies be banned from using AI to screen job applications?

So let me get this straight. Candidates are using AI to write their resumes, AI to tailor their cover letters, AI to practice for interviews, and AI chatbots to mass apply to hundreds of jobs. And the proposed solution is to ban employers from using AI to read the AI generated applications? That's unilateral disarmament in an arms race the candidates started. If a human has to read five hundred ChatGPT polished resumes that all say 'results driven self starter,' the human will just pick the ones from famous schools, which is the most biased filter of all. Either both sides get the tools or neither does. Banning only the employer's AI while the applicant's AI runs wild is incoherent.

Are movie theaters dead, or is the big screen irreplaceable?

Some films work as events, and events need a crowd. I saw a comedy last year in a packed Friday house where a single perfectly timed audience reaction got a bigger laugh than the joke itself, and the whole room fed off each other for two hours. Horror works the same way: fear is contagious, and a theater full of strangers screaming in sync is a physical experience no soundbar reproduces. Dune: Part Two on a true IMAX screen is a different medium entirely, using scale as a storytelling tool. You can watch the same file at home and you will have seen the same plot. You won't have had the same experience, and the difference is the entire point.

Rights contracts are the boring reality nobody wants to discuss. Prime-time inventory is sold years ahead with legal guarantees. A mandate would spend its first three years in court, which helps nobody.
