Miguel Afonso Caetano"Johnson is all about expanding the tent — while holding firm to his values. For example, he feels very much aligned with his buddy Guillermo del Toro’s current anti-AI media tour. “Yeah, fuck AI. It’s something that’s making everything worse in every single way — I don’t get it,” Johnson says. “I mean, I get it in a ‘This makes sense to save money by not paying artists’ way.’ But then, what the fuck are we doing? Is this where we want to be?” But even within Johnson’s circle of collaborators, there is clearly room for disagreement: Lyonne, who will remain attached as an exec producer on Poker Face should it find a home (though her role will be recast), was announced as a co-founder of an AI production company this year. Either way, the Internet can rest assured T-Street’s backing of Gordon-Levitt’s next directorial effort, which is said to explore AI and star Rachel McAdams, does not equal an endorsement."
