Today, the Big Five majors – Universal Pictures, Paramount Pictures, Warner Bros. Pictures, Walt Disney Studios, and Sony Pictures – routinely distribute hundreds of films every year into all significant international markets (that is, where discretionary income is high enough for consumers to afford to watch films). The majors enjoy "significant internal economies of scale" from their "extensive and efficient [distribution] infrastructure,"[8] while it is "nearly impossible" for a film to reach a broad international theatrical audience without being first picked up by one of the majors for distribution.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Distribution isn't cheap or easy for even the best indie films. A notable exception was that Youtube guy that got his film in theaters and made a fair ton of money on his personally financed film. Maybe in the future it will get easier for some folks?

Editors review the AI-produced drafts and reporters get the final say before publication.
So, whoever signed off on this would be liable. Seems perfectly reasonable to me. This sounds like a good use of a LLM.

My personal peeve is a website putting up a javascript overlay asking to join their mailing list.
That's why NoScript is so nice. I only whitelist Javascript on a few websites like my bank or temporarily when I'm ordering something. Makes the interwebs much more tolerable.

A selection of user-generated short videos will also be available to stream on Disney+.
Users are going to be producing the content for Disney, so of course D+ is going to keep it. This is essentially a new form of rent-seeking.
