In a fair world, this man’s name would have been banned from the industry by now. The most despicable Studio exec who I hope is remembered for his evil role in the demise of WB as we knew it.
Still blows my mind how the industry still protects him until the very end.
Go to hell with your farewells and the $1B+ you got out of this deal and I truly hope we will NEVER hear from you again.
David Zaslav bids farewell to Warner Bros. employees in a video ahead of the official closing of the Warner Bros.-Paramount merger:
“For me, it’s been a great honor to be alongside all of you,” Zaslav says in the 3-minute video. “I hope you take pride in what you’ve built, what you’ve created, and the role you’ve played in shaping an extraordinary history. What’s past is prologue. The future waits for each and every one of you. For your spirit, your ingenuity, your creativity and your courage. I can’t wait to see what you do in the years ahead."

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Jeff Merkley are introducing the Ban Flock Act.
This bill would effectively put an end to AI surveillance cameras that track Americans.
The Ban Flock Act would prohibit federal agencies from using automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) and block federal funding from state and local governments that use this technology, making it untenable for these AI surveillance cameras to continue proliferating across the country.

In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.
