From prophet to product: How AI came back down to earth in 2025

Following two years of immense hype in 2023 and 2024, this year felt more like a settling-in period for the LLM-based token prediction industry. After more than two years of public fretting over AI models as future threats to human civilization or the seedlings of future gods, it’s starting to look like hype is giving way to pragmatism:

Why Disney is embedding generative AI into its operating model

For a company built on intellectual property, scale creates a familiar tension. Disney needs to produce and distribute content across many formats and audiences, while keeping tight control over rights, safety, and brand consistency.

Roblox brings AI into the Studio to speed up game creation

Roblox is often seen as a games platform, but its day-to-day reality looks closer to a production studio. Small teams release new experiences on a rolling basis and then monetise them at scale. That pace creates two persistent problems: time lost to repeatable production work, and friction when moving outputs between tools. Roblox’s 2025 updates
