If this is legal, it needs to be made illegal. There is clearly something broken when clear monopolies are allowed to flourish. The fact that this is inherently a right-wing operation is beside the point, NO company should have this much power over media.
This is going to be a bloodbath for workers

The combined Warner Bros. and Paramount company will be named Skydance.
Warner Bros. and Paramount will continue to operate as brands under the parent company.

I almost renewed my ESO+ subscription to play with my brother, we enjoyed playing through the story together.
Then I remembered Microsoft has a mandatory clause to train AI on VA works. French voice actors collectively said 'non' ✊, so the new seasons have no french VA. Fuck Microsoft (reason #944).

How Indie Game Composers Are Surviving the Layoff Storm
As 2026 shapes up to be another record year for video game layoffs, composers find themselves on the front lines. Feeling the squeeze, they open up about how they keep their heads above water.

Dwarf Fortress co-creator Tarn Adams says he has no need for GenAI, because his artists are bursting with cool, weird ideas like meat biomes and sphincter doors.
"[Tolkien] didn’t have a sphincter door. I mean, I don’t think he did… Who knows what’s going on in, like, Minas Morgul though."
