    A post recounts Affleck’s disagreement with researchers who told him AI models would learn how film images are made from enough scraped data. It says he founded InterPositive in 2022 and spent months creating a dataset using cameras and location sensors to train his model. The post says Netflix bought the company in March 2026 for $587 million in cash.
