Never forget that this film was co-produced by WWE... and they did some utterly bizarre cross-promotional segments for it on Monday Night RAW... Ones that aged remarkably poorly if you're at all familiar with what happened to involved parties afterwards...

I've said it before but I'll go full broken record on this, nobody is prepared for how massive the AI bubble burst is going to be. The dot-com bubble is going to look like a normal Tuesday compared to this.

I don't have much hope in them winning these cases... but it'll still be damaging for AIBros in the long term as they'll have to, at the very least, testify on the public record how much of their tech is just reaffirming "yes men" behavior designed to ensure continual engagement and not insight...

Mad Stan from Batman Beyond was always a favorite of mine. An anti capitalist, eat the rich type who wanted to blow up the tech used by the rich to exploit the poor…loved his dog and grew more powerful the longer you’d let him rant. Like, this is his time to shine. Voiced by Henry Rollins…perfect.
