I don’t know about Ed, but I’ve had scenes from Network stuck in my head for months, particularly the scene where the corporate hatchet man Hackett is explaining that a Saudi conglomerate is about to buy out a failing TV network. He says, “We need that Saudi money bad.”

It’s pretty sobering to see the financials laid out like this, and Ed even highlights some areas of uncertainty as though begging someone from OpenAI or Microsoft to provide the information to rebut his conclusions.
