    TLDR

    An October 15 post claims Netflix had announced layoffs affecting 6% of its global workforce, or about 1,000 jobs. The writer says Netflix paid $587 million in cash for Ben Affleck’s AI company InterPositive in March 2026, believes the sale helped lead to the job losses, and asks why AI is used to make art.

    Cinema Tweets@CinemaTweets1Netflix announced yesterday that it’s laying off 6% of its global workforce - totaling about 1,000 jobs. This is the same exact company in March of this year that paid $587 million in cash to acquire Ben Affleck’s AI company InterPositive. So, @netflix - you don’t have money to retain working class individuals but you have money to buy an AI company that replaces them? Ben Affleck - wherever you/whoever you really even are - if you can read this Tweet, I believe selling an AI company to Netflix helped lead to the loss of these jobs. Affleck - a man who I’ve long adored & supported on this website - has betrayed my love of him in real time. Animals (🌟) is a terrible embarrassment of a film. But more offensive than Affleck’s latest dog shit film is the fact that he boasts on his press tour about how he uses AI to make his dog shit films. I am again asking - for the 4th time, the 5th time, the 1,000th father fucking time: why does AI need to be used to make art? Explain to me like I’m a golden retriever. For what reason does artificial technology need to be used to create art?2h
