Next ep is in progress! I (hi, it's Mike) made the mistake of going on vacation, and having fun. I'M SORRY DON'T GET MAD. Will be out in the next week or so for sure.
Next ep will be out next Friday, or soon after! I was aiming for yesterday, but life got temporarily more insane than usual. The edit is done, and sound design is underway.
One of the more cyberpunk things to happen of late – and there have been a lot – is MSG's transformation into a hyper-surveilled mini-nationstate.
New from 404 Media: Madison Square Garden made a dossier on activists who have opposed the venue's facial recognition program. MSG scans faces of people so some can be arbitrarily denied entry. Dossier includes specific activists, their contact info, tweets, etc www.404media.co/madison-squa...

At last: egg for girls 🍳

New @funcityventures.bsky.social this morning! The gang has found where the mysterious group of power brokers that (seemingly) run all of NYC’s infrastructure and public services are headquartered. But why this building? And why does it have it’s own … nuclear power plant? in the basement?

NEW: AI use is supercharging ill-advised lawsuits as people representing themselves turn to chatbots to file oceans of documents in support of flawed or groundless claims -- intensifying the impact of flimsy cases and wreaking havoc on slow-moving courts. futurism.com/artificial-i...

the dystopian cyberpunk future of @funcityventures.bsky.social was too smart and sensical for the dumb reality we've actually got
NEW: The Trump administration is planning to use AI to write federal regulations despite the risk of hallucinations. “We don't even need a very good rule,” the Transportation Department’s top lawyer said of the plan, per meeting notes reviewed by ProPublica. “We want good enough.”🧵
I recently started listening to @funcityventures.bsky.social on actual headphones, and I have been really impressed by the audio design. No spoilers, but "What Took You So Long" has been an absolute joy to experience.
