   Wahlberg open to AI clone carrying on his legacy, if AI used 'the right way'

   Speaking at TechCrunch Disrupt, actor and director Mark Wahlberg said AI has a place in filmmaking as long as it is used "the right way." He said he may use AI to enhance elements such as the stadium setting of his upcoming Pete Rose biopic, but rejected the idea of feeding an idea to ChatGPT for a script and making a film without real actors; he has not visited CAA Vault's scanning facility but said he would be interested, and he would not oppose an AI version of his likeness continuing the animated series "Ted" after he is gone. A commentary republished by 36Kr and Huxiu contrasts his stance with Nicolas Cage, who said he refused to sign an "AI authorization waiver" for Amazon Prime Video's Spider-Noir, and cites Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos saying generative AI workflows had been used in roughly 300 Netflix productions, alongside a Chinese Supreme People's Court opinion on AI likeness disputes.

   OpenAI's dots lead says AI lets people choose to work harder or less

   According to IT之家 citing Business Insider, Alexander Embyricos, OpenAI's enterprise product lead and head of its new dots agent, said at TechCrunch Disrupt on October 15 that as AI capabilities improve people can either work harder or hand part of the work to AI and ease their load, adding that "we have more choices." He often uses his own dots through Slack, and OpenAI positions dots as an always-on workplace assistant that proactively handles tasks and organizes to-dos. The report also notes that enterprise AI adoption is still early, with most companies not yet automating work tasks, and a reporter pointed to an OpenAI employee using ChatGPT on mobile in cars and planes as a counterpoint on whether AI actually frees up time.
