studio execs & major outlets claim AI is "inevitable" and poised to take over Hollywood. the reality is much different. i spoke with filmmakers, producers, and editors about how AI is actually showing up in productions – and what it still can't do:

Hollywood Has a Major AI Hype Problem

I know I’m turning into an ornery old fart because no new fancy looking release from some young wisenheimer excites me even a tiny bit as much as ANY new thing from one of my old guys. Case in point, that new Raimi SEND HELP trailer made me giddy...

One of the (many) things that made the last Indiana Jones flick not taste right was the lack of a Struzan poster. Truly the end of an era...

Charlie Ashby @charlie-ashby.co.uk · 1d

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.

His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.

A massive loss 💔

Taking D’Angelo when there’s an 80 year old decrepit orange clown around is really unfair…

RIP the legendary Drew Struzan (1947-2025) 😩

Even though we were expecting the news any day now, it makes me very sad. What an artist.

And here thought my crush on you couldn’t get any bigger. Movies and music are pretty much they only two things I adore in this world… And my doggie.

Man, beyond already wanting to read it, I already want to see the movie version of this starring Ray Nicholson as young Jack and DiCaprio as elder Jack.

Studies are beginning to reveal fissures in the argument that AI boosts productivity, writes Tech Policy Press fellow @eryk.bsky.social. Nonetheless, companies and governments are pouring investments into speculative growth without ample evidence.

Generative AI’s Productivity Myth | TechPolicy.Press

People may be using artificial intelligence, but that doesn’t mean it’s useful, writes Eryk Salvaggio.

I think execs misunderstood when people were saying that Jared Leto lures in teens.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.

Watched TOMORROW NEVER DIES, and now GOLDENEYE. Man, remember Fun Bond? I wish that Bond would make a comeback. I like Villeneuve as much as the next guy but his ouvre doesn’t scream out ‘fun times’ so I ain’t holding my breath...

For various reasons, this is the first time my body and soul are getting the chance to relax for what may be just a small window after at least 6 months of being in a constant state of tense anxiety. Feels like:

Damn yo what if the United States empire was collapsing. Just imploding & losing all its function because its white supremacist history culminated in a dictator. That would be crazy, yo. Nah that would never happen.

Every single job wants you to call yourself an AI expert and factually worked hard to destroy/ erase people for not hopping on it

This is gonna crash bad and they will blame everyone for not stopping them

The crash is going to be brutal when it comes.

Robinhood says "it might offer "tokenized" equity in OpenAI. By "tokenized," Business Insider reports, Robinhood means "blockchain-enabled representations of securities like stocks." In reality, they have no connection to OpenAI equity whatsoever."
