Netflix abruptly replaced its content chief, Bela Bajaria, a week after laying off 1,000 employees she helped plan, and film chief Dan Lin left days later. The moves signal a company reorganizing its creative leadership because it is struggling to get American subscribers to watch more.

• Bajaria was removed just hours after the 1,000-person layoff she helped engineer, a sudden turn for the company's top content executive.
• Film chief Dan Lin lost his job by the following Monday, extending the leadership shake-up beyond one role.
• The overhaul is aimed at a domestic problem: Netflix dominates US streaming but has not been able to get existing American audiences to watch more.

Anthony Wood, CEO of Roku, predicts that within three years, the first 100% AI-generated hit movie will be released, sparking debates about the feasibility and audience reception of such content. While the technology to create AI-generated films exists, concerns remain about whether these films can achieve "hit" status like traditional human-created movies. The article also discusses Roku's new low-cost, ad-free streaming service, Howdy, as a response to rising streaming costs.
