HBO’s upcoming film ‘Mountainhead,’ penned by ‘Succession’ writer Jesse Armstrong, promises a satirical look at the world of tech billionaires and the societal impact of their creations. The movie’s trailer unveils a story centered on a group of powerful CEOs gathered at a secluded retreat. These individuals, responsible for amassing vast fortunes, find themselves grappling with the ethical implications of their technological advancements. Specifically, the film explores the consequences of Traam, a generative AI social media platform developed by one of the CEOs, which is implicated in a surge of violence. ‘Mountainhead’ arrives at a particularly relevant moment, echoing concerns surrounding AI-generated content and the responsibilities of those who control it.
