A short/hot take on the fact that many of AI functions within different services (eg.

Humanity has to have a serious discussion why proper X-Files OST is not available on audio streaming services,but is a YT only.

This slide vs "i have nothing to play" statement. The problem is not with the number of content released and the quality of it. The problem is the time one can find to dig into all this great games (from every genre) being released every year.

Net market data per se, but an interesting take from WEF's Future of jobs report. Each time I will read about Blockchain being the "trendy" tech with no impact on the market I will post this slide. BC DEvs are on the rise and don't think this trend will be slowing down.

Highly recommended read for folks who are interested in many faces of horror - especially gaming and interactive entertainment. Taking sidenotes or writing down referrals from almost every page - my fav way of learning! Pdf version is great but the physical release is just the bomb!

AI in Movies - a list of "must see" movies

From the neo-noir brilliance of "Blade Runner" to the prescient warnings embedded in "Wargames," each film offers a unique lens through which to examine the evolving relationship between humanity and AI (often portrayed just as "funny robots"). "Metropolis" and "Alphaville" delve into the early conceptualizations of AI, reflecting societal anxieties and aspirations. "Westworld" and "Ex Machina" scrutinize the ethical dilemmas surrounding AI consciousness and autonomy, while "Ghost in the Shell" and "Child's Play" challenge us to…

Browsing through trend reports this week and noticed how AI-style graphics has slowly but surely taken over the elements of many of them.
