<p dir="ltr">This week, Kim talks with Tilly Norwood creator Eline Van der Velden, who defends her <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/sag-aftra-slams-ai-actress-tilly-norwood-xicoia-union-1236388942/">controversial synthetic character</a>. Van der Velden argues that Tilly Norwood is simply another character, an extension of herself, not so different from others she&rsquo;s created during her years as an actress. The Particle6 Productions co-founder explains why she believes entertainment built with generative AI will find a place in the industry and predicts that <a href="https://variety.com/2020/digital/news/miquela-virtual-influencer-signs-caa-1234599368/">more agents will follow CAA&rsquo;s lead</a> in signing synthetic characters.</p> <p><strong id="docs-internal-guid-4695e7d0-7fff-a069-2729-a855e21b8225"><br></strong>Plus, Kim Masters and Matt Belloni discuss Ben Affleck&rsquo;s investment in AI through his company Interpositive, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/digital/ben-affleck-ai-netflix-1236521806/">which he sold to Netflix</a> in a deal that could reach $600 million. The banter partners also address Live Nation&rsquo;s ticketing practices, including a lawsuit with evidence of employees joking about <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/music/music-industry-news/live-nation-employees-gouging-fans-messages-court-docs-1236528633/">price gouging fans</a> &mdash; comments that later prompted the company to distance itself from those involved.</p>
