Alamy(Credit: Alamy)The comic book sequel has bombed at the box office – but what makes its performance even more catastrophic is its astronomical cost, estimated to be more than three times the original.It’s one of those debacles that must have seemed like a good idea at the time. In 2019, Todd Phillips’s Joker rewrote the superhero rulebook by putting Batman’s arch-enemy into a dingy urban psychodrama. The film was a commercial and critical smash, and Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar for playing Arthur Fleck, aka The Joker, so it made sense that Phillips and Phoenix should reunite for a sequel.…

It’s too soon to say how the spate of deals between AI companies and publishers will shake out. OpenAI has already scored one clear win, though: Its web crawlers aren’t getting blocked by top news outlets at the rate they once were.The generative AI boom sparked a gold rush for data—and a subsequent data-protection rush (for most news websites, anyway) in which publishers sought to block AI crawlers and prevent their work from becoming training data without consent. When Apple debuted a new AI agent this summer, for example, a slew of top news outlets swiftly opted out of Apple’s…
