Having been near the top of a large media corp., here's what I can tell you about the Disney decision re: OpenAI
-The execs have no idea what it means
-They have no idea how the tech "works"

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable
