This special episode discusses host Peter Csathy's latest article about DeepSeek and its potential massive implications on the media and entertainment industry (not to mention U.S. generative AI developers). The conversation is hosted by Google NotebookLM's synthetic co-hosts (but Csathy has listened to the generated podcast, and believes it is largely consistent with the perspectives he voices in his article).

Host Peter Csathy of Creative Media sits down for an exclusive conversation with Andy Beach, former CTO of Microsoft's Media and Entertainment group, who just left his position after being with Microsoft for 10 years. The two discuss and debate how generative AI is impacting Hollywood and the entire creative community today, and where they believe it's all going in the years to come.

They also discuss how China's DeepSeek earthquake has changed Silicon Valley's generative AI game - and whether that's hype, or reality. Andy's and Peter's conversation and debate are frequently spirited (they certainly don't agree on everything), but they are also insightful and even entertaining. Andy was able to be particularly candid in his views since he is now fully "independent" and outside Microsoft. It's a fascinating discussion.

There was a time when “bulk” was the metric that mattered most to Big Tech for video content (“data”) needed for GenAI training purposes. In fact, those times were just months ago. “The more, the better!” was Silicon Valley’s mantra. But those times are over, and they aren’t coming back. Licensing’s life-cycle has moved on. Welcome to the brave new world of video licensing — GenAI “fine tuning” style.

Peter Csathy's synthetic co-hosts from Google NotebookLLM discuss Peter's latest newsletter about it all -- which lays out the parameters that matter most right now for the major generative AI developers in terms of what they want for video licensing purposes. Those parameters and needs have evolved significantly over the course of the past several months.

Peter Csathy's synthetic co-hosts summarize and discuss the new exclusive analysis by NYU Professors Howie Singer, Joao Sedoc, and Foster Provost of the 10,000+ submissions to the U.S. Copyright Office commenting on the question of copyrightability and fair use in the context of generative AI. This analysis is the first comprehensive analysis of every single submission, which was able to be done leveraging the power of AI (but with human quality control all along the way). NOTE: this episode was generated using Google NotebookLLM (and Peter listened to it - and approves its content as being an accurate discussion of this new Analysis).
