I don't think that Trump is incentivized anytime soon to do this.

He probably hates most of Hollywood anyway.

But zooming out a little bit, what I think is interesting is that the Chinese government clearly has an initiative.

A couple of years ago, they started doing AI regulations really at the forefront and inspired in part by GDPR from Europe to go after deep fake information.

AI technologies.

They actually saw that this was coming down the pipeline and that they needed to actually put in these guardrails.

So the Cyberspace Administration of China, which is basically the large cybersecurity authority, has penalized more than 13,000 accounts and removed hundreds of thousands of posts that were propagating this kind of AI-generated content illegally in unlabeled fashion.

I don't see America doing this.

Maybe the Europeans will pretty soon.

Europe seems to be pretty good at regulating or at least setting up guardrails for technologies.

America, I'm less certain of.

So my concern is that we are giving China full reign in creating the Wild West of this unregulated AI content outside of China.

that infringes upon other traditional companies and media platforms' IP.

As I look to, I don't know what you watch nowadays, James, but there's so much computer-generated content and AI slop, even in films nowadays, let alone TV shows.

So now I really feel like the difference between a CDAN's 2.0-generated video and what I see on the screen is getting far smaller as time goes by.

Yeah, they just don't have any leverage on China, do they, James?

I mean, China has, as of really 2016 onwards, really pushed out Hollywood.

Apart from Zootopia more recently, most of the highest-grossing films in China are Chinese.

They're not coming out of Hollywood.

And more than that, they don't really have the legal authority to get ByteDance to step down.
