It\u2019s also tough to ignore the personal ties between US President Donald Trump and the Paramount deal.<\/p>\n<p>Not only is he friendly with the Ellison family \u2013 David Ellison runs Paramount, and his father Larry Ellison is a close ally of Trump\u2019s and is stumping up some of the cash for the deal \u2013 but his son-in-law Jared Kushner\u2019s private equity firm is also putting some money behind the Paramount bid.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Paramount bid also includes financial investment from Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, which could raise concerns for regulators who may not want foreign powers to have such significant involvement in a major media empire.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-4b480c87-9a2b-4fa9-b640-016a47827a0e\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"4-we-met-a-different-kind-of-smart-ring-3\">4.

With no assistant personality or subscription, you just talk into the ring, and it&#8217;ll transcribe recordings and interpret your commands.

That means, come early 2026, you&#8217;ll be able to ask for Mickey, Stitch, Elsa, Yoda, and even some of the Avengers to sit alongside you or be animated in user-generated videos.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, select Sora-generated videos will be available on Disney+. As part of the deal, Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI and has a multi-year licensing agreement that will allow Disney&#8217;s characters to appear on OpenAI&#8217;s platform. Still, for a company that&#8217;s been so protective and intentional with its characters and stories, a partnership with OpenAI and the use of these in Sora is a bold, big move.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-242e1eaf-bab9-4820-9241-c8055eeb25bf\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-url=\"\" href=\"\" target=\"_blank\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"2-chatgpt-5-2-made-its-debut-3\">2.
