AI And I

PRESENTED BY BOXABL

Happy Friday, Future Party. To kick off the rebuilding of Pacific Palisades and Altadena, California Governor Gavin Newsom has tapped some major entertainment figures to rally funding. NBA legend Magic Johnson, Wasserman Media Group chairperson Casey Wasserman, and Dodgers chairperson Mark Walter will lead a public/private initiative called “LA Rises” — with an initial $100 million investment from the Mark Walter Family Foundation and the Los Angeles Dodgers Foundation. Hopefully, some friendly competition among LA’s high-net-worth residents will help that pot grow quickly.

Having officially won the streaming wars last year (sorry, every other streamer), Netflix is taking a victory lap by showing off its content roadmap for 2025.

The Big Picture: Netflix added a record number of new subscribers last quarter, crossing 300 million worldwide. Its stock hit an all-time high of nearly $1,000/share, and its film Emilia Pérez is leading the Academy Award nominations with 13 noms. So, yeah, Netflix has quite a bit to flex about.

Behind the Scenes: On Wednesday, Netflix held a preview of its 2025 slate — titled “Next on Netflix.”

Some highlights:

Endless Scroll: Notably, Next on Netflix was livestreamed to 11 other countries, where events were taking place to showcase local production — a content strategy that has proved very successful for the streamer. Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria said the company’s goal is “to make great shows and movies that appeal to local audiences first, and then make it easy for anyone, everywhere, to watch them.” With such a global footprint, we wouldn’t be surprised if Netflix announces a theme park by the end of the year.

When the biggest names in your industry take notice, you know you’re onto something.

That’s the story with BOXABL. They’re revolutionizing home construction by bringing assembly-line efficiency to housing. The result? Faster, more affordable homes that have captured the attention of top investors, including D.R. Horton.

While traditional homes take over seven months to build, BOXABL’s factories can produce their signature Casita home in four hours. And they’re just getting started.

Now, they’ve unveiled the Baby Box — a $20,000 turnkey home built for affordability, flexibility, and versatility. Whether for disaster relief, workforce accommodations, community projects, or extra space, the Baby Box is a game-changer in accessible housing solutions.

And here’s where it gets exciting: everyday investors can join the action.

When BOXABL last opened a Reg A investment round, they hit the $75M cap. With the launch of the Baby Box, they believe the opportunity is bigger than ever.

The US Copyright Office released a new report that deems works made using AI tools copyrightable only if they’re used to enhance the creative process of actual humans.

The Big (Generated) Picture: Copyright in the age of AI has been a hotly debated issue over the past few years. The Copyright Office’s call for public input received 10,000 comments, mostly from artists concerned about the impact on their livelihoods. The new report (the second of a planned three) gives every creative industry the greenlight on how to utilize the tech moving forward.

Behind the Prompts: The Copyright Office is taking a “remix” approach to granting copyright for AI works.

This includes:

The Future: Though the Copyright Office’s guidance favors human creators, it’ll likely still spark debate among creatives, many of whom view any use of AI as a faux pas. At the same time, it may push those same creatives to see how they can optimize their work — not offload their creativity — using the tech. But with the Office’s upcoming third report to center on the legality of using AI models that have been trained on copyrighted work without a license, the future of using AI may be in using systems that have been only trained on works you’ve made or have ownership of.

That would be the best of both worlds.
