Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty hands-on: A gorgeous futuristic spy thriller

PCWorld

Only the neon-colored OLED walls remind us that this was once a district of Pacifica, the Dubai Night City, a luxury oasis that ran out of money in the corporate war. We stand on high scaffolding that was supposed to be a sports stadium. We look up – rockets scream towards a plane, it goes down, literally whizzing over our heads before crashing with a thunderous explosion. But this isn't just any plane, it's Space Force One, the government plane of President Myers of the New United States of America in Cyberpunk 2077's hotly anticipated Phantom Liberty expansion. This article was translated from German to English, and originally appeared on pcwelt.de.


AI has Keanu Reeves, Harrison Ford and Elon Musk's ex-girlfriend Grimes at odds over its use

FOX News

Log Off Movement CEO Emma Lembke and teacher Matt Miles discuss the impact of artificial intelligence on kids on'The Story.' In the past few years, artificial intelligence has trickled into the entertainment industry, distinguishing itself in films, television and music. Despite its rapid advancements, AI remains an enigma to many, with minimal legislation to regulate the technology. In recent days, it's been a part of the conversation surrounding Hollywood's writer's strike, the first strike in 15 years. Given the unlimited avenues of its use, actors and musicians are beginning to speak out on the use of artificial intelligence in conjunction with their name and likeness.


Keanu Reeves is worried AI will soon replace journalists who interview him

#artificialintelligence

It might sound like a scene ripped straight from The Matrix series, but the ramifications of Artificial Intelligence are troubling to Keanu Reeves. Speaking to Wired, the Canadian star aired his grievances with recent developments in technology, including ChatGPT and the Metaverse. At one point, Reeves asked his interviewer, Angela Watercutter, if she thought a bot could take her place and be conducting celebrity interviews in the future. When Watercutter said that she didn't think such a thing would happen in her lifetime, Reeves gave an ominous response. Looking his interviewer'dead in the eye', Reeves said: "Oh no, you should be worried about that happening next month."


Keanu Reeves has had enough of AI baloney • The Register

#artificialintelligence

Opinion Quelle surprise – the actor who played Neo in The Matrix is wary of the burgeoning developments in machine learning and artificial intelligence. Speaking to tech glossy WIRED to promote his latest cinema outing, John Wick: Chapter 4, Keanu Reeves had some choice words for The Machines. During the conversation, Reeves, whose character in The Matrix ends up leading a resistance movement against AI-controlled robots that dominate humanity, was asked about a clause in his contract stipulating that his performances couldn't be digitally manipulated without his permission. He said this was because a film "in the early 2000s, or it might have been the '90s" added a tear to his face. "I was just like, 'Huh?!' It was like, I don't even have to be here."


Keanu Reeves Will Never Surrender to the Machines

WIRED

Nearly any interview he does reveals as much. After four decades in Hollywood playing versions of the same fundamentally decent dude-in-crisis, he's learned to stay in his cyberpunk philosopher/surfing FBI agent/action hero lane. In person, he's pleasant and playful, but he also holds back, calibrating his remarks just so. Is this why we like him so much? We don't know who Keanu Reeves is, not really, but maybe we don't want to know. Or maybe this is all there is to know.

As the millennium was about to turn, The Matrix arrived in theaters like a speeding bullet--or maybe a very slow-moving one, filmed with the then-novel extreme-slo-mo special effect that would become known as "bullet time." Digital technology played a much smaller role in most people's lives in 1999. The internet was still a novelty, used by most people mainly for sending and receiving email. Smartphones were nonexistent, music was still mainly listened to on CD, and Netflix was a two-year-old company primarily in the business of mailing movies on DVD to people's houses. The idea that all of humanity was trapped in a simulation, our physical bodies parked in life-sustaining pods while our daily lives unfolded in a virtual space run by distant evil overlords, still sounded like a cool science-fiction metaphor, not a description of banal everyday reality.
