Reese Witherspoon Appears to Have Forgotten How Properly Her NFT Predictions Went

Reese Witherspoon is on the reducing fringe of know-how. Sadly, she appears to maintain getting lower by that edge. In an interview with Glamour Magazine, selling the upcoming season of “The Morning Present,” she introduced that she’d like ladies to hitch her within the blade manufacturing facility, insisting that the way forward for filmmaking is synthetic intelligence and it’s time to get on board—apparently fully forgetting how nicely her earlier embrace of NFTs went.

AI got here up within the dialog as a result of it’ll apparently be central to the plot of this season’s “The Morning Present.” However whereas it looks like the streaming collection may have a extra skeptical view of generative AI, Witherspoon is all in. She advised Glamour, “I’m at all times wanting ahead to how media is evolving and the way I might help be a part of bringing ladies alongside in these rising industries. And now we’re doing it with AI. It’s so, so vital that girls are concerned in AI…as a result of it is going to be the way forward for filmmaking.”

Witherspoon, who doesn’t have any writing or directing credit on completed merchandise, is saying creatives must get on board the generative AI bandwagon or get run over. “You will be unhappy and lament all of it you need, however the change is right here,” she mentioned, whereas additionally getting a number of plugs in for her private favourite AI merchandise. Per the interview, she makes use of Perplexity “daily,” in addition to product search platform Vetted AI and the digital assistant Easy AI to “save time” on duties.

And look, Reese has an actual sense for these items. Again in 2021, she infamously tweeted, “Crypto is right here to remain. I’m dedicated to supporting creators who’ve pioneered the NFT area, and inspiring extra ladies to be part of the dialog.” She put her digital cash the place her mouth is, for higher or worse, and launched an effort to turn NFTs into movies and TV shows by means of her manufacturing firm. It looks like that by no means really got here to fruition, identical to most NFT “media” tasks (bear in mind the planned Bored Ape movies?), however apparently, you possibly can’t get burned in case you merely refuse to acknowledge the flames.

Reese’s effort to get extra ladies into crypto didn’t really seem to put much of a dent within the male-dominated area, although frankly, ladies in all probability aren’t all that worse off for avoiding the scam-ridden, fake economic system of digital tokens and memecoins. However damned if she’s not going to attempt to get ladies into one other tech bubble. Perhaps some ladies can safe an enormous bag earlier than the entire thing goes bust, however regardless, Witherspoon will in all probability be simply wonderful financially, so it’s fairly straightforward for her to inform others to get entangled.

To Witherspoon’s credit score, whereas she took a fairly large L on crypto, she did have stable foresight on one factor: she knew Quibi was going to be a bust. Had her then-husband listened to her, maybe they’d still be together.
