    Amazon’s drone delivery operations lost two leaders in the past month.

    Jim Mullin, Amazon Prime Air’s chief pilot, left Amazon last month, according to an update to his LinkedIn profile spotted by CNBC. Meanwhile, Robert Dreer, Prime Air’s head of test flight operations, announced his departure on LinkedIn last week.

    Amazon has been struggling to get its drone delivery program off the ground. While the company projected it would send 10,000 deliveries by the end of this year, CNBC reported that it had only made 100 deliveries as of May.

    Disney reportedly launched a task force to find ways to save money using AI.

    The entertainment giant is looking into ways it can apply AI across its entire business, according to a report from Reuters. A source tells the outlet that Disney could use AI to lower the costs of its movie and TV productions, while also enhancing experiences at its parks.

    We might hear more about this from Disney CEO Bob Iger on Wednesday, as that’s when Disney is supposed to report its quarter three earnings results.

    Paramount says it has a plan to weather the Hollywood strikes.

    In an earnings call on Monday, Paramount CEO Bob Bakish said the company will rely on its slate of international content, fall sports, and completed productions, such as Killers of the Flower Moon, to get through the double Hollywood strikes:

    From a content perspective, we’re in pretty good shape, it all comes down to duration. We’re hopeful that as an industry, we can solve this sooner rather than later because we’d all like to get back into the content production business.

    Paramount Plus gained a modest 700,000 subscribers during the past three months following a wave of price hikes and the addition of a new Showtime tier. The company also announced that it agreed to sell Simon and Schuster to the private equity group KKR.

    Hello there, Moon.

    After entering lunar orbit over the weekend, India’s Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft captured its first images of the Moon’s crater-filled surface. The rover is expected to touch down on the lunar surface later this month, which hopefully means more cool Moon pictures are to come.

    Amazon’s Project Kuiper satellites will hitch a ride to space on a different rocket.

    The company will launch two of its internet satellites into space aboard Boeing’s Atlas V rocket instead of the United Launch Alliance’s Vulcan rocket as previously planned, Reuters reports.

    Amazon is making the change because it wants its satellites in space sooner. While technical issues delayed the Vulcan’s launch until later this year, putting the satellites on the Atlas V pushes up the expected launch date to September 26th.
