Netflix buys Ben Affleck’s AI film-tech startup InterPositive as Hollywood warms to production tools

Netflix Inc on Thursday announced its purchase of InterPositive, the AI-driven filmmaking tech startup set up in 2022 by Ben Affleck. The streaming giant has tapped Affleck as a senior advisor. “Innovation should empower storytellers, not replace them,” said Elizabeth Stone, the company’s Chief Product and Technology Officer.

An unsecured database holding roughly 149 million usernames and passwords — including 48 million tied to Gmail and 17 million linked to Facebook — was taken offline after a security researcher alerted the hosting provider, according to reports. Allan Liska, a threat intelligence analyst at Recorded Future, noted that “infostealers create a very low barrier of entry for new criminals,” pointing to tools available to rent for just a few hundred dollars a month.
