Sisu: Road to Revenge offers a ludicrous and punishing take on the same fantastic action-forward indulgence as its predecessor, like a post-WWII blend of Mad Max: Fury Road and a Fast & Furious sequel.

it's so funny that all these economic pieces are like 'could it be that silicon valley has made a bad bet?' and then the bet is that a text prediction software will achieve consciousness

I teach a game writing class. Students have scripts, worldbuilding docs, treatments, etc due every week
About half the class used ChatGPT last semester even though I made it clear using an LLM = an F. When I asked why a studio would ever hire them if their work was just ChatGPT, they seemed stunned

This past semester was the most stressful of my academic career. I had 180 students and about half cheated at some point in the semester
They submit weekly reflections where the questions are opinion-based, graded only on effort, don't care about grammar
SO MANY students submitted ChatGPT essays

This entire situation is such a shitshow. I lived my whole life in Stockholm and the idea of the US government trying to strongarm people here is fucking awful.
So in order to turn this into something at least moderately positive I'm going to tell you all a little about Stockholm based on the photo

I still can’t fully comprehend why anyone would want to consume fiction stitched together by an AI. I don’t care how popcorn your entertainment product is, you cannot stop the humans who made it from shining through every pore of it. That’s why we, other humans, are there.
