Two days ago, I posted about @Stubhub duping my family's w/r/t the @FIFAWorldCup. We were given a "Fan Guarantee," which can basically be refunded the day of a match (after spending lots of money on travel). Two days ago, @TeamStubHub promised to help, then ... silence.

.@ebarmack talks with Bryn Mooser, the founder behind @Asteria, an AI company that’s training models only on licensed, legally defensible material. The goal: safeguard IP and give studios AI tools that respect creativity rather than replace it theankler.com/p/sora-2-shook…

Sora 2 let anyone generate performances with real actors’ faces unless they opted out. WME said enough and OpenAI blinked. @ebarmack lays out the next steps in Hollywood's fight: theankler.com/p/sora-2-and-t…

Google’s Veo 3 powered a $2,000 ad that aired during the NBA Finals and quickly went viral. It signals a shift in how video can be made, and raises serious questions for the more than 100,000 Hollywood jobs that may be at risk. @ebarmack reports: theankler.com/p/the-2k-ad-th…
