Netflix Reportedly Paying Up to $600M for Ben Affleck's AI Film Company

The actor who once publicly criticized AI in filmmaking is now selling an AI-powered production company to Netflix for a reported $600 million.

Netflix will pay as much as $600 million for Ben Affleck's AI-focused film production company, according to @Polymarket. The deal is striking for its protagonist: Affleck has been a vocal critic of AI's impact on creative labor, making the pivot to building and selling an AI film company a notable piece of Hollywood cognitive dissonance.
