Some weird stuff here.

Napster's next act is some weird pantheon of AI assistants, capped off by some 3D holographic webcam thing. It is WILD. (And also doesn't run on the PC, which is why Macworld wrote it.) www.macworld.com/article/2944...

With Hollywood so starved for original IP...

Think of it: the Louvre thieves write a tell-all script, plot it all out, and then perform the heist but don't actually take anything. The movie ends with footage from the actual attempt, but no theft. Call themselves white-hat thieves.

Le scandale!
