Hollywood spent two years fighting AI in court, on picket lines, in op-eds.
At Cannes this week, the resistance officially cracked. 🎬
Demi Moore said the quiet part loud at the jury press conference: “AI is here. And so to fight it is to fight a battle that we will lose.”
The internet called her a sellout. But across the festival, the evidence kept stacking up:
→ Films at the Cannes market are now pitching AI use as a FEATURE. “Critterz” (animated, “human-led but AI-assisted”). Doug Liman’s “Bitcoin” with Gal Gadot and Casey Affleck. A Milton adaptation from the “Pulp Fiction” co-writer.
→ Bleecker Street’s CEO: “You probably will be able to make something that looks like a Marvel movie in your basement in a couple of years.”
→ A veteran sales agent to Variety: “A year ago, some people were using AI but they were embarrassed to admit it. This year, they aren’t even hiding it.”
The pattern isn’t just Hollywood. It’s every creative industry watching the floor shift under them in real time.
What’s interesting for those of us in tech and business: the smart play isn’t acceptance OR resistance. It’s positioning. 💡
Matthew McConaughey filed eight trademarks on his voice and likeness. The USPTO granted them in 2025. Cannes director Thierry Frémaux is calling for legislation.
The people protecting their upside are the ones who treated “AI is inevitable” as the START of the strategy, not the end of the conversation.
The fight isn’t whether AI shows up. It’s who gets to shape it. And that’s a fight worth being in — especially for the women, queer folks, and underrepresented founders who got locked out of the last platform shift.
Save this one. The Cannes 2026 moment is going to keep getting cited.

You’ve probably never heard their names.

More than 10 years of summits. More than 10 years of this community showing up; loud, brilliant, and unapologetically ourselves. When we started, we were carving out space that didn’t exist. Now we’re filling rooms, shaping industries, and building the future on our own terms. To everyone who’s ever walked through our doors, spoken on our stages, or found their people in our crowd, thank you. This is your win too. 🔥

Natasha Cloud just signed with the Chicago Sky for $555K, 2.5x her last salary, after weeks of free agency silence that had everyone online screaming “blackball.”
She’s a 2019 WNBA champion. A 3x All-Defensive Team honoree. And one of the loudest, bravest activists in pro sports, the kind who sat out an entire WNBA season to organise BLM marches, register voters, and turn the Mystics arena into a polling place. She forfeited a year of pay to do it.
“My pockets are always affected by my activism.” — words she spoke ON OUR STAGE at LWT Summit 2025. 💙
Having @t__cloud9 with us wasn’t just a moment. It was a reminder of who this community is for: the people who refuse to disappear, refuse to shrink, refuse to trade their values for a paycheck and still come out on top.
CONGRATULATIONS T CLOUD. 🌥️ Chicago is lucky. We’re luckier we got to platform you.

Built bots in Neopets. Dropped out of CMU. Co-founded Scale AI at 21. Walked away with 5%.
Now she’s 30, drives a Honda Civic, and her haters are mostly men.
This is the unbothered founder blueprint. 🔥

“There were tears shed.”
Not over a loss. Over a YES!
@sbird10 and @nneka describing the moment the board of governors said “okay” to their pay ask after rehearsing every line (“you say this, then I say this”), keeping straight faces on Zoom, and texting “OH MY GOD” under the table the whole way through.
Then they hung up. Called each other back. And cried.
This is what fighting for your worth actually looks like. It’s not a viral speech or a power move. It’s a team, a shared script, and a group chat that held the line.
And watching these two icons tell it live on the LWT stage? That’s what it’s all about. 🤍
Pay equity isn’t won alone. Neither is anything else worth winning.
