The strain on these streaming companies would be less if they didnt give the CEO's over 100 million dollars a year. Just saying.

Distribution and reach is way cheaper for the studios via streaming yet they don't pass that profit along in any form, which is wrong.

Another example of allowing companies to get too big and relying on them to act fairly. They don't and never will. The streamers are notoriously greedy, and their Wall Street owners are worse, as we have seen time and time again. If you want equity and balance, restrict companies from getting so big and diverse they dramatically influence global economics. It's obvious how that will turn out.

To me it doesn't matter how good or bad the Meta substitute for Twitter is, what worries me is again giving Zuckerberg the monopoly of social media. It would be naive to think he won't take advantage of the monetization power and "to big to fail" this creates.

Awesome 😎👍 pay the writers and the actors. 💙💙💙💙Kara is awesome

Every time I see Kara Swisher as a guest, I’m always pleased with how informative & easy to understand she is, about areas I don’t really follow much. 👏

excellent interview by both parties. lots of good information and point of views

there needs to be new laws for the internet and that's been around for so many years and still there are Few Laws that match it's growth

The great irony is that AI needs artists more than artists need AI. If you train AI continuously on AI generated content, it degrades and becomes rubbish. See Futurism’s article “AI Loses Its Mind After Being Trained on AI-Generates Data” and The Independent’s “Scientists warn of threat to Internet from AI-Trained AIs.” The original creators of the data that is used to train AI add the greatest value or, in economic jargon, provide the greatest value added. Yet Big Tech would like to pretend otherwise. So not only is this unethical, it’s shortsighted and could have disastrous consequences. It turns out doing the right thing (ensuring you get consent, giving credit where it’s due, and fairly compensating artists) would have also been the smart thing. AI companies need real visual artists, musicians, writers, actors, voice actors, etc. While most of us would be more than happy to go on without them. Furthermore, the majority of people do not want AI. It’s most fervent supporters are, predictably, the tech corporations ripping off artists and the public to take and profit from our data, which is all that makes AI valuable. The AI hype is just that-hype. It takes from the hard and excellent work of humans to generate lookalike or soundalike work. Nothing transformative about it.

Ooof. Not sure why streaming is "necessary" or "Important," compared to the the theatrical experience when it's clear the number of platforms that can survive a consumer culling is maybe three, tops. The theatrical that feeds an ecosystem of streaming later is far more essential. The surreal alt-world Threads segment near the end was like a fever dream of some PR firm, LoL.

I still don’t understand how union contracts were dismissed upon the transfer to streaming services. The amount of eyes on a product were massively increased , yet the the contracts were somehow voided? I’m really confused as to how this legally happened and became an issue to begin with. Doesn’t the material ( film , show, etc) hold financial responsibility of proper payouts as it changes hands and beyond [ in perpetuity]?

replace CEO's and Politicians with AI..... they don't work and make things worse

For context, Threads has already lost HALF its users and engagement is now down around the same amount.

It really is just greed keeping these ppl in this vs kind of headspace

Let’s replace Legislatirs with AI, they don’t need these lobbyist junkets to decide policy.

Please you guys.... We're on KZfaq. There's alot of content creators that are influencers. Outside of the recycled news We're watching. From DIY, home improvement, exploring, fashion, opinion, shopping, upcycling, motivation, ect ... ect ... ect ... I wish those union actors and writers lots of luck. But there's others that have weekly content that's more alluring and inviting. For get about trying to hold the american public hostage. There's other places to go for entertainment.

Social media ruined souls.

Oh what a complex and nuanced issue. No CBS. JUST PAY YOUR TALENT MORE.

Unfortunately, I think many of the writers and actors will leave the movie/tv profession and work somewhere else. I think they might still write and act but they’ll work somewhere else

Way too much streaming content and not enuff hours in a day to watch this massive amounts of content and let's face it, way too much new garbage on streaming and that includes Canadian Content to BOOT ! 😎✌

Kara is the very sharpest knife in the drawer. It is refreshing to hear from a true expert in their field.

It is not "necessary" to have a million streaming platforms. Consumers are not going to pay for 4-5 + streaming platforms. How is that different from cable? Actually, it is worse because the streaming companies are now raising prices due to expensive productions and drop in viewership. There is absolutely no reason for Paramount or AMC to have a streaming platform. They should have negotiated licensing terms with other established streaming platforms instead and focused on what they do best. This is what happens when people want to innovate just for the sake of innovation. People bought into the "streaming is the future" hype and blindly went along. Now they have fallen off a cliff and are bleeding cash. Sad.

Well, wow, old broadcast TV "killed" the old Hollywood studio system. This is just the next "installment".

Google among other tech companies need to be broken up like Bell Telephone years ago. But, the tech industry is spreading their weath among members of Congress to avoid that from happening.

When can we get AI to replace congress? That would be great.

Where are your interviews of actors?

The presenter has no idea her job is now practically a memory when an avatar with her likeness takes her job,... not to mention every single perdon working in that studio.

Well A.I can (and will) make the whole movie from story/script to final editing and release. Also can generate CGI Brad Pitt or just completely create virtual realistic looking actors. It's very scary.

Yes, interview a silicon valley stooge about why streaming is important. honestly it's getting cheaper to pay for cable again.

We're not talking about Terminator. It's more like Matrix 😂

I thought streaming was supposed to be cheap. And the tech company's with no regulations. And the tech company's now it's hard to regulate.

Most of the companies involved with making movies/tv shows are technology companies now. You don't really see many people striking at these types of companies. It's a complete clash of cultures. I don't see this ending well for the writers and actors.

CBS is owned by Paramount Global. It's a much smaller player in all of this. But it's all important to even people like Margaret B.

I have watch Kara Swisher in a few interviews prior to this and she seems reasonable and fair in her though processes. She looks at Both sides and has reasonable response to them.😊

Streaming is the only choice for me on any shows or movies. I works and play hard and my time is important, so being in my own home is a huge deal. I don't see how the entertainment industry makes much money at all with streams compared to cable deals, and theaters charge for seeing the show. I can understand both sides of this, but feel the investor gets the nod over the everyone else. I don't see how they're making money doing this, so the demands are more akin to a desperation as an industry is evolving, and has to first find it's footing.

I have for many many years some from Beginning Disney+/HULU/Paramount+/Hbomax now is MAX / You tube TV/AMC+/MGM+/Peacock/Apple TV off & on is nothing there /Prime & Netflix of course who doesn't.. ALL AD FREE Premium 4K service ..i usually pay Annually on most of them have that option, they just charge my card automatically, BUT i dont know, i love them all ...BUT between them all NETFLIX & HBOMAX & YOU TUBE TV for cable , MUST have & only u need, THEY ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST👍👌

7:06 the really lean on this alot

The streamers don't need Hollywood, they can make their own content , more than half of the shows in Netflix are not made by Hollywood and not even made in the U.S.

Kara is awesome!

I wonder how Oppenheimer might well change Ms. Swisher's views. Maybe what's really needed is a product that offers an experience that one simply can't get in one's house.

Zelensky approves that green suit.

OMG, I love that coral suit!!!!! Gorgeous wardrobe.

When every show costs $4.99/hour + tax + various nebulous charges, will anyone actually pay to watch AI written shows, starring AI generated actors? 🤔

Hollywood better start putting out better quality films. Right now Streaming is just creating better quality stuff. Disney's entire brand is terrible right now whether it be their live action, Marvel Star Wars or the new Indiana Jones they're all garbage. And their made for Disney Plus is even worse. All about quantity and no concern for quality.

The unoriginal and basic questioning of every Sunday news show could be replaced by AI

MY WIFE... MAMI... MARGARET BRENNAN... MISS YOU... MAHATMA GANDHI......

Rein in CEO's outlandish pay and solve a bunch of problems. Pay your workers better. Don't push extra work onto people without paying them more. Easy stuff, but as usual, GREED RULES. TAX THE RICH. EAT THE RICH.

As usual in a situation like this, nobody wins, everybody (including a few who genuinely don’t deserve this moniker) is a loser - including the fans.

The tech company's and regulate them the best we can.

This seemed like a legitimate talk until she started trying to smear Twitter calling it a “white supremacist”… that immediately makes this a propaganda talk rather than a legitimate discussion

"Everybody Hates Goodie" Tha Mixtape coming soon......Sir.Goodie Blow Lansky

Kara is your best reoccurring guest. Barry Diller is legendary. Two of the few ppl on TV that speak honestly and candidly.

Finally, at least a fairly balanced opinion, thank you!.

If A.I gives us No woke , Liberal crap movies, then you can ALL stay on strike.

I say f@#&.

Kara Swisher talks of white supermacists after making racist comments about Vivek Ramasarmy, what a hypocrite

Margaret has not backed down from her pastels and I'm not mad at it.

🦎

Swisher needs to be less robotic and think about other people.

thanks for nothing Kara. .. blah blah

What is AI, it is my understanding that it has intelligence it just doesn't have feelings or a soul. Does America need a soul any longer? What is wrong with being an atheist and not having a higher power to look up to? Why can't a computer be that higher power, It wouldn't even need faith?
