Netflix, Waymo & OpenAI: The New AI Economy Is Here, and It’s Ruthless

AI isn’t “coming someday,” it’s already rearranging entire industries.

In this episode of 4 Guys Talking About AI, we break down three seismic shifts that hit at once: Hollywood, transportation, and global commerce.

🎬 Netflix just bought Warner Brothers for $70 billion, and the real play might be AI-generated content. When you own massive IP libraries, you can train models to create endless shows, spin-offs, and low-budget crowd-pleasers fast. Writers and actors see the threat. Netflix sees a cost-cutting machine.

🚗 Self-driving cars are now 91% safer than human drivers, with huge drops in serious crashes. That’s billions in healthcare savings and thousands of lives protected, but insurance companies and professional drivers could be gearing up for a fight.

🛒 AI just influenced $22 billion in global sales, and shoppers who arrive via AI convert 38% more than regular website visitors. The buying journey is shifting, and traditional analytics can’t even see it happening.

💰 Meanwhile, OpenAI and Google are racing to build AI-native ad engines because whoever wins conversational ads will own a massive piece of the $1 trillion global ad market.

It’s not hype anymore. This is the new economic order.

In this episode, we explore:

How Netflix could automate entire genres using Warner Brothers IP
Why self-driving cars might be the biggest public-health breakthrough in decades
How AI assistants are quietly influencing billions in shopping decisions
Why AI transactions are still tiny today and what will unlock mass adoption
OpenAI’s “code red” push to beat Google at AI advertising
