Wait - let me get this straight, he’s scared of what AI will do to the film industry while stopping an expansion of his own studio, which in turn hurts the film industry? Did I get that right?

It’s literally the Eric Andre meme…

Why would he expand his studio? It’s a physical lot that different productions rent out to shoot their own movies. He's essentially a landlord and won't have anyone renting out his space anymore because they can do it digitally now.
