    This announcement is performative. Probably just a “good” reason to back out of something they didn’t want to do anymore, anyway. Otherwise there’s paper on the deal and they wouldn’t back out.

      That’s true. If he really wanted to expand, he would just expand into AI filmmaking too. This sounds like a money problem, not a technology issue.
