I, for one, do not welcome our new artificially intelligent overlords. That aligns me with some of Hollywood's chief AI skeptics, like Guillermo del Toro—but as Tom Dotan writes in the latest issue of VF, many industry heavyweights are less knee-jerk anti-AI than you might think. "You can sort of be afraid of it and attempt to fight it," Darren Aronofsky told Dotan. "Or you could try to figure out how to use it to tell different types of stories." And their numbers might be higher than a layperson would expect: Two dozen big-name creatives didn't respond to Dotan's questions, perhaps because they're AI-curious but don't want to be publicly shamed for their position. (Might this writer be one of the people doing the shaming? I mostly post on Bluesky these days; you do the math.)
Elsewhere, we've got a dispatch from Russia, where a Gen Z uprising seems to be helping turn the tide of public opinion; Rebecca Ford profiles Kaia Gerber, who's funny and smart and gorgeous and savvy (the nerve!); the stars align for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas; and Meghan Markle feels neutral about Christmas. (Or is she just wearing neutrals?) More tomorrow… |
HILLARY BUSIS,
SENIOR EDITOR |
Hollywood knows AI is a profound technology, bound to be transformative, and also bound to replace humans. But the players are having an incredibly hard time being honest about it with one another. Darren Aronofsky, Natasha Lyonne, Tilly Norwood, and a lot of nervous anonymous sources speak candidly to VF: "If I was gonna take a general temperature, it's like a storm's coming, y'know?" |

To look at Kaia Gerber is to see the past and present collide in a single face. She's the very picture of midcentury Hollywood glamour, a vision of the 1960s brought to life. No matter how she's dolled up, Gerber wouldn't look out of place in a Pepsi commercial or a George Michael video. As the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford, she carries the unmistakable hallmarks of her lineage: striking bone structure, that radiant smile. Her parentage undoubtedly opened doors for Gerber in the fashion world, at least at first; she's been strutting on catwalks since she was 16 years old.
From the catwalk to the back lot to the boardroom to the bookshelf, Gerber tells VF how she's forging a new trail. |
