Episode notes

Now the robots are coming for the writers' jobs too. The first AI written play has been performed. And it gets dark and raunchy. BONK. Go to Hornybot jail. GPT is a really amazing piece of tech. Bethesda are being sued for advertising the season pass as containing ALL the Fallout DLC. Players are upset that it doesn't contain the Creation Club content. Does this look like a man who has had ALL the DLC? Frogwares are saying you shouldn't buy The Sinking City, because the publisher pirated the game. This is some wild publisher drama. Apple demanded sales data from Valve. Valve didn't want to give it over, but the judge says Apple can have a little sales data, as a snack. This is all in defence of Epic's lawsuit about monopolising the app store. CDPR still haven't unlocked their computers after the ransomware attack, so it'll be taking a bit longer for the big post launch Cyberpunk 2077 patch. Let's see if they can sort this out before 2077 actually happens. This week DJ read Keanu's self insert BRZKR and Professor whacked zombies that finally work in DayZ.
