## Resource

Amazon’s MGM Studios scrapped an OpenAI-backed biopic just as production neared completion, amid rising tensions over AI’s role in Hollywood — a move that echoes how financial and personal ties can sway creative decisions. Meanwhile, Google DeepMind is pouring $75 million into A24 to develop AI tools for filmmaking, carefully avoiding the fear of catalog exploitation. As data centers face mounting community backlash and even electrician strikes, Amazon workers are speaking out internally, challenging the company’s data center expansion — revealing a growing rift between corporate interests and local concerns.
