My hopium is that deep mind existed way before this mess and so most likely they’re developing better editing tools and such instead of giving their films for training slop machines
We’ve seen these sort of deals get announced and then fizzle out before anything comes of them. Often it’s not a set in stone, paperwork has been signed thing, it’s really an intent of both parties to come to the bargaining table and work out a deal. That happened with Disney. Considering that the $75 million number here isn’t an official amount but rather the WSJ’s estimate based on prior deals, methinks it’s in that exploratory stage.
It says that Google is spending $75 million for A24 Films to use Google DeepMind resources, but that Google won’t have access to A24’s content library.
this is not a production deal, or an IP deal, or a data training deal, rather A24 will have an active hand in shaping new workflows DeepMind builds with A24 and its filmmakers retaining full creative control.
“A24 will have an active hand in shaping new workflows DeepMind builds” I’m not even sure what this means or how it’s not “data training deal”.

I’m guessing:
That means they’re using A24 as user testing for whatever it is they’re making.
