You set up your tent.

every couple of month or month or two, you'd have a movie come out and you all run towards figuring out how to make it, make it work, et cetera, et cetera.

And then your next excitement was the next movie.

And you'd lived in that environment.

And if the movie was good, it lasted for a while.

Things now go so quickly.

So it is not a process today where most people in it will say they're having a good time.

It's just so fractionated now that that and it goes so quickly that the great thrills of making great programs is kind of gone.

None of us know what's going to happen with the dreaded and wonderful word AI.

But I don't think that predictive research...

is certainly in the arena of content, worthless.

It cannot tell you anything of real value in making a forward decision.

It's just not possible.

And yet, everybody wants it to be possible.

Why?

Because making instinctive decisions is living with great insecurity.

There's no way to be secure enough

When you're making decisions based on instinct.

If I can get more comfort by using this piece of data or that piece of data to, quote, help me, lovely.

You can only do that for so long because in the end, your work will get you, good or bad.
