The Problem
How might we empower Netflix users to seamlessly create custom movies, collaborate with others, and build a vibrant community for generating and sharing original content?
Inspiration
Max Tegmark's Life 3.0 introduces ‘Prometheus,’ a superintelligent AI that can create personalized media based on users' watch histories.
Given the rapid advancements in generative AI and the increasing potential for video creation, why not make this vision a reality?

The Story
Alex and Jess are sitting on a couch, watching a classic romance. The male lead makes sexist comments, and Jess looks uncomfortable...

"What's wrong ?"

"It's just..this movie. I love the romance, but the male lead is so sexist!"


"Right! Crazy how classic movies glorify guys who treat women badly!"
"Totally! What if we modernized the story and made it a bit more inclusive?"
"What do you mean?"

"Well.. what if we could create a version where the male lead respects women?"


"We could remake this classic and make it reflect our values!"
"Exactly! The possibilities are just endless"
