Key claims in source B
- In a statement, Disney said it respected OpenAI’s decision (what choice did it have?) and learned from the “constructive collaboration,” even if it was short-lived.
- In its statement Tuesday, Disney said it plans to “engage” with other AI platforms, but it would be a surprise if it rushed into another major deal after getting its fingers burned.

- But now even that’s broken.“ The deal is not moving forward,” a Disney insider bluntly told my colleague Dominic Patten.
