Sadly in February it was revealed Pager had died and the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) lodged a complaint with the US Department of Agriculture, alleging several counts of animal abuse between 2017 and 2020, involving test monkeys owned by Neuralink.
It’s also fun because, well, it’s fun. Like its ward-based forbear, Two Point Campus has a colourful look and a lightly sardonic sense of humour.Your establishment’s tannoy will blurt out advice like: ‘Students are reminded to set reminders.’ And rather than a redbrick, you’re more likely to be setting up a castle-like school for knights, with classes in jousting.
The images come after a different AI that works in the same way produced bizarre pictures of the ‘last selfie ever taken’ that showed apocalyptic scenes of people in front of nuclear blasts, with rotting flesh and total devastation behind them.

The trailer did reveal Jack Black as Bowser, and Keegan-Michael Key as Toad. But some fans were disappointed that the clip didn’t include a clip of Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, especially the actor’s infamous laugh.
Missing Link (2019): Stop-motion animated adventure comedy. «To help him find his relatives in a hidden kingdom, a fabled yeti agrees to let an explorer — desperate for a win — prove to his peers that he exists.»
«It’s been a lifelong dream of mine to be Mario,» Pratt says in a video clip preceding the trailer, relating how he played Mario pkv games on a machine at his childhood laundromat. Good to know, but the jury is still out on how that dream will become a reality.
It’s-a him. Chris Pratt as Mario in the movie. OK, so co-producer Chris Meledandri confirmed back in 2021 that Pratt wasn’t going to use the stereotyped voice of the video game plumber in the upcoming animated Mario film. But on Thursday, Nintendo dropped a highly anticipated teaser trailer for The Super Mario Bros. Movie, and Pratt revealed, kind of, the voice he did choose.
Honestly, the much-anticipated Pratt-as-Mario voice was kind of a letdown. There’s … maybe a faint bit of Italian accent in the few lines Pratt speaks? Or is he just using his normal voice? Pratt’s Mario mostly just reacts to getting the wind knocked out of him as he heads off on his Mushroom Kingdom adventure.
Sure, there was no way Pratt was going to use the exaggerated, stereotypical voice, but so little of him can actually be heard in the teaser it’s tough to say how his Mario will sound. He doesn’t deliver any of Mario’s famed catchphrases — no «It’s-a me, Mario» or «Wahoo!» Maybe more will be revealed when a longer trailer comes along. Regardless, there’s a better chance to hear some of Jack Black’s Bowser (he’s excellent) and a good look at the vibrant animation.
Elon Musk announced his Neuralink is hosting a ‘show and tell’ progress event on October 31, which will be the first progress update since the world watched a brain-chipped monkey play a video game with its mind in April 2021 — this animal later died during testing.
The Boys in the Band (2020)
The Boys in the Band sets a new stage for an ensemble cast who all performed the classic play-by-the-same-name’s 2018 Broadway revival. Among them, Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto and Matt Bomer. The movie brings new perspectives to a birthday party celebrated by a group of gay men in 1968 New York City. The party takes an unexpected turn when a visitor from the host’s past calls in. With a cast that knows how to play off each other and compelling themes such as self-loathing and internalized homophobia, The Boys in the Band is a thought-provoking, engaging drama.
And another person summed it up nicely, writing, «It’s not similar to Mario. It’s not similar to Mario’s vibe. It’s not even similar to the live action movie version. Just Chris Pratt sounding a little confused.»
I’m doing this because of a recent(ish) change of policy at Sony. They used to be very guarded about their ‘PlayStation exclusives’ — which is to say, games that could only be played on PlayStations and not any other console.
Neuralink is reportedly looking to explore a deal with Synchron that successfully implanted a chip into a severely paralyzed ALS patient in July, four people who work or have worked at Neuralink told Reuters Monday.
Without the enhancements for PC, Marvel’s Spider-Man was a stunner. With them, it’s, er, splendiferous. Its version of Manhattan Island is a crystalline complex of light rays and reflections that sometimes had me gawping rather than gaming.
