Very confusing to hear Mark Zuckerberg refer to AI as super intelligence, since he previously used super intelligence to describe AGI.

The last time Netflix hit this rut, it was able to boost its growth through cracking down on password sharing and wringing more subscriptions out of families. What's the next growth driver?

How will Skydance produce original movies while saddled with $80 billion in debt? “There’s a very small margin of error,” TheWrap’s @RogerWCheng says. After box office disappointments like The Bride!, Supergirl and Digger, Skydance can’t afford many more failures in the years ahead.

David Ellison's threat to leave California is like his father's threat to move the America's Cup out of SF if he didn't get lucrative real estate deals. The ploy worked then, but will history repeat itself now with Paramount? My latest for @thewrap thewrap.com/industry-news/de…

Paramount is turning up the pressure in its battle over the Warner Bros. Discovery merger. CEO David Ellison has signaled the company could leave California, raising questions over whether Paramount is truly preparing to move or using the threat as a negotiating tactic with state officials. @RogerWCheng and @Lmanfredi7 break down the strategy and how Ellison may be following in the footsteps of his father, Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison: thewrap.com/industry-news/de…

Anthropic, Google, X.AI & OpenAI seem to agree that AI development needs to slow and companies need to self regulate. For the @thewrap I take a look at this effort and why forces like President Trump still want to go full throttle. thewrap.com/industry-news/te…

Asking "Will AI kill us in a few years?" is the wrong question. People should be asking what's being done about this. The latest uproar shows why lawmakers need to take a more proactive approach in regulating AI companies. My latest for @TheWrap thewrap.com/industry-news/te…

For the past few weeks, the internet has been in a tizzy over rumors that “Obsession” breakout Inde Navarrette turned down a plum role in Michael Mann’s “Heat 2." Instead, the rumors go, she chose to play Rogue in Marvel Studios’ rebooted #XMen. But TheWrap has exclusively learned that Navarrette was never offered the role in “Heat 2,” and thus did not turn down the sequel to make “X-Men.” She had a single meeting with Mann, but it never went any further.

In an interview with TheWrap's @sharonwaxman, @afalkhatib pushed back on #MarkRuffalo’s criticism of the Ellison family and the Paramount-Warner Bros. merger. The director for @rfpalestine and @AtlanticCouncil senior fellow said that Ruffalo’s comments risk “making a point at the expense of actually making a difference,” arguing that the actor should focus on specific facts and behavior rather than rhetoric that can reinforce prejudice or deepen existing divides.
