Reporting for NBA Today on top prospect Darryn Peterson deciding to only grant a visit -- and access -- to the No. 1 pick Washington Wizards ahead of the June 23 draft:
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.
Finally we have the best angle (aerial mode) of the Spurs Final Boss in his natural habitat, fighting the entire city of New York and hunting a harasser that kicked at him.
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.
