So, so proud of this one. Hope you'll give it a shot.

We dropped some amazing covers for our new sci-fi detective thriller @DarkHorseComics THE SMART DIVISION, by myself and @JohnJPearson + Hassan.

It's about using Artificial Intelligence to commit the perfect crime.

And the first cover you must see is Matt Taylor's Lady Justice!

It's my understanding that the second print of CYCLOPS #1 drops today if you missed the sold out first run. That @FredVice_Art figure pops beautifully against a black and white background.

Ben Affleck told you exactly what's coming and nobody caught it.

At the DealBook Summit, he was asked point blank: could Netflix use AI to create its own James Bond with completely synthetic actors?

His answer started safe. "That's not possible now."

"Highly unlikely" in the future, movies will be "one of the last things" replaced by AI.

Then he kept talking.

He said AI will "intermediate the more laborious, less creative, and more costly aspects of filmmaking."

That it will "bring costs down" and "lower the barrier to entry."

Then he said the quiet part out loud.

"I wouldn't like to be in the visual effects business."

They're in trouble and what costs a lot of money is now going to cost a lot less and it's going to hammer that space. And it already is."

He said "maybe it shouldn't take a thousand people to render something."

But he wasn't done.

He described a future where AI lets you get "two seasons of House of the Dragon in a year instead of one."

Where studios make more content with the same spend and fewer people.

Then he went further than any Hollywood insider has gone publicly.

He said AI will eventually let you pay $30 and order your own custom episode of Succession.

Pick the plot, the characters and AI builds it from the show's existing sets, actors, and footage.

"It'll be a little janky and a little bit weird," he said but it'll work.

He described consumers buying an "Iron Man pack" so they can look like Avengers characters on Twitch.

Licensed AI character packs replacing costumes and digital rights replacing DVDs.

This is not a man worried about AI.

This is a man who mapped out the entire business model.

And then he built a company to execute it.

Yesterday, Netflix bought that company.

It's called InterPositive and it trains AI on a film's own footage.

It does exactly what he described fills in the "expensive and burdensome" parts of production.

He told you AI can't write Shakespeare.

He told you it can't replace actors in a room.

He never told you it wouldn't replace the thousand people behind them.

Your work attracts collaborators. If you want to be working with the best, focus on raising the quality of your work to the very best of your ability. Doing the work OVER networking.
