    What will AI do for moviemaking? And what will it do to movies?

    There’s so much to talk about when it comes to creativity and AI — and we’re going to get deep into it next weekend. I’ll be on stage at the Chicago Humanities Festival next Saturday, April 13th, with the two co-founders of Wonder Dynamics, Nikola Todorovic and Tye Sheridan, talking about the good, bad, and strange in the AI future of Hollywood. Get tickets and come hang!

    I also have some questions for Tye about his role as Wade Watts, the main character in Ready Player One. We’ll get to those too.

    Why Nintendo sued a game emulator out of existence — and what might happen next.

    Nilay was on vacation last week, so they let me guest-host Decoder! I spent the show talking with The Verge’s Sean Hollister all about game emulators: why they exist, how they became so popular, and why Nintendo picked a fight with an emulator called Yuzu.

    It’s a story about reverse engineering, about the DMCA, and about what we get to do with our hardware and software. It’s a fun episode!

    Welcome to the AI gadget era

    Humane, Rabbit, Brilliant, Meta, and countless other companies are just about to launch AI-first gadgets. AI hardware may not be as big as the smartphone, but it’s going to be big.
