Interesting quote/view point from Seth Rogan about how risk adverse studios are in Hollywood today. And how they are particularly hung up on casting but not in a good way.
From his June 13 ‘26 interview in the NYT. Good read.

An American TV crew filmed a 24 year old Chinese engineer in his San Francisco apartment for a feature on remote workers who never leave home. He had not been to an office in eight months. AI handled his calls, his messages and every reply his bosses got, while he collected a salary from five companies at once.

On camera he said the line everyone screenshotted: going to five morning calls would be exhausting, so I push them all into AI and stay in VR.

His story was simple. Meta hired him from a research lab. The job was remote. He preferred meetings in VR. So he wore the headset all day. So nobody saw him.

The crew thought that was the story. It was not.

Pause at 0:25. The camera holds on the wall behind his desk for four seconds. Look at the shelf above it. Everyone saw one laptop. Almost nobody saw the other four. The four were not backups. The four were jobs.

Each laptop runs an AI trained on the way he writes. Each one joins the morning calls in his voice. They talk to each other so the same work never gets done twice. He sits in the VR headset and watches the five jobs unfold around him.

For months all five teams have been thanking him for being so responsive. None of them has ever been in the same call as another.

He still wears the same headset every morning. He still sits in the same chair. He still passes every review. He still has not told his mom about the other four jobs.

The crew came to film a remote worker who lived on a mattress on the floor. They left with a man who had not done a single day of work himself in eight months, while five American companies kept thanking him.

His AI replied to all five morning calls again today. He watched. They thought: he is really trying.

Doubling down on my positive single rider experience, also is my experience being able to get right back on the ride.

I was able to get back on monsters unchained after riding via this loop. From exiting the ride vehicle to getting back on it, timed right around 60 seconds.

No @Austin__Berg, Chicago made the wrong call by walking away from the World Cup.

@RahmEmanuel’s alleged “dealbreaker” was a potential $50–100 million expense if FIFA ever exercised its right to require a dome at Soldier Field. Even taking that figure at face value, in the context of Chicago’s budget and economic development spending, it’s a trivial amount.

The city’s new hotel tax increase (supported by local hospitality industry itself) is expected to generate roughly $40M annually to fund promotional efforts through World Business Chicago. In other words, Chicago passed up a once-in-a-generation opportunity to showcase itself to the world for the equivalent of just 2-3 years of marginal hotel tax revenue.

The benefits would have extended far beyond the tournament itself. The World Cup generates millions of dollars in earned media exposure, global television coverage, social media visibility, tourism, and word-of-mouth promotion. We’re already seeing viral posts from visitors discovering Chicago while in the US for the tournament. Its difficult to believe that any advertising campaign purchased by World Business Chicago (ads in Texan newspaper or mayoral vacations to London or  the Vatican) could match the global exposure that comes with hosting World Cup matches.

Nor is the comparison to the Olympics or the parking meter deal fair. Hosting the World Cup is not remotely comparable to hosting the Olympics, which requires massive investments in new venues, athlete housing, and infrastructure. Chicago already had a suitable stadium and the necessary hospitality base. And unlike the parking meter deal, the World Cup was not a decades-long privatization of a public asset.

The economic benefits were real. The 1994 World Cup generated an estimated $300M in added sales for Chicago. A 2026 tournament would almost certainly have produced substantial hotel, restaurant, retail, transportation, and entertainment spending while boosting tax revenues and supporting local businesses.

I supported Chicago’s 2016 Olympic bid and still believe losing it was one of the city’s great missed opportunities, though that outcome was ultimately beyond Chicago’s control. Chicago chose to walk away from the World Cup. This was a shortsighted decision. City Hall passed up a rare opportunity to elevate Chicago’s global profile, attract visitors and new businesses, and generate economic activity. The costs were manageable. The missed opportunity enormous.
