    This is a weird move for A24.

    I have to imagine that the vast majority of A24 enthusiasts are analog people who like art that was created organically rather than stolen.

      May I suggest you look into these companies before deciding you like them based off nothing but vibes? A24 is not to be celebrated.

      This is a weird move for A24.

      PSA: Scott Belsky likes to secretly hang out with Thiel, AI executives, and assorted investment assholes, probably drinking blood or something.

      Nothing weird about doing what the bros are doing.

      Yeah, this might alienate a lot of their base. I hope it does. I know I’m looking at them differently now.

    “The studio, in cooperation with Google and after thorough research the market using the latest tools, has now started production on their lastest project. It’s been selected for its broad appeal with the audience, emotional engagement and possibility for onscreen advertisement. A24 and Google are proud to present: ‘Ow my balls!’ available on all streaming platforms.” /s

    The more AI gets involved, the less I will. I’m not upset about it either. I want to lose screentime.

      Will it result in less screen time though, or will it just mean more time spent scrolling past AI slop as well as all the existing garbage movies when looking for something to watch…

        The idea is less of that scrolling for something to watch, that’s what screen time is

          but if there’s less to watch, and more things you don’t want to watch, that time will increase, unless you give up and go read a book or something instead 😅

    A24’s success was always its marketing scheme: make all the movies, advertise the good ones. Once people started having expectations about the upcoming releases it was doomed.

    I’m literally wearing an A24 shirt right now as I read this. This is incredibly disappointing and shortsighted.
