## Resource

Netflix just splashed half a billion dollars to buy Ben Affleck’s AI startup InterPositive, betting big on artificial intelligence to revolutionize film production—speeding up post-production, cutting costs, and keeping creatives in control. With AI already powering 300+ Netflix projects, the move signals a major push to blend tech with storytelling, as Affleck’s team joins the streaming giant and he stays on as an advisor. Meanwhile, Hollywood wrestles with AI’s impact: unions demand safeguards for human performers, while studios chase efficiency. This acquisition could reshape how movies are made—faster, smarter, and still human-driven. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
