On the latest episode of the Alan Smithee Round Table, it’s Michael’s turn to have a break while regular contributors Scott Simmons and Katie Hinsen discuss a range of pressing topics within the media and entertainment technology landscape. Their conversation explores the ongoing global challenges in technology supply chains, particularly the soaring prices and scarcity of memory chips. They also touch on corporate dynamics, most notably the high-stakes bidding war for Warner Brothers involving Netflix and Paramount.
Katie also shares some insights from the recent HPA Tech Retreat, which saw the emergence of AI as a workflow-integrated “operating system” rather than a simple tool. And as always, there are some really cool things to get excited about!
