## Resource

After The Odyssey’s strong opening weekend at the box office, AMC CEO Adam Aron discusses the shifting entertainment landscape and AMC’s financial results this quarter. Aron also discusses audience appetite for films using AI tools and AI actors. AI is also on the table for the next interview, with OpenAI chairman and Sierra co-founder Bret Taylor. Taylor weighs in on the debate about tokenmaxxing, Apple’s lawsuit against OpenAI, and what the future of data sovereignty might look like. He comments on Sam Altman’s public spat with Elon Musk, as well as the push to innovate both stateside and in China. Plus, CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports on the war in Iran, and findings of cyclospora in Taylor Farms lettuce turned out to be a false positive.
