Check this out, you might be interested in this. It's mind blowing the potential for this, in terms of the line between 'consumer' and 'creator.'

I think this is probably by far the most interesting application yet I've seen of the technology, - I don't know how old you are, but this reminds me of the 'choose your own adventure' books and Steve Jackson's excellent series 'fighting fantasy. but on steroids, the possibilities are really limitless.'

James, I'm 52 and LOVED Jackson's books so you've knocked it out the ballpark with that reference!
You've brought back some great memories - just did a quick google and genuinely can remember 'playing' The Warlock of Firetop Mountain' when I was in my first year at my hometown comp!
Anyway, thanks for sharing that article as hadn't read it yet - agreee 100% about the potential and Hollywood as we've known it in our lifetime is definitely in its death throes because of this type of advancement. The next few years are going to be a wild ride!

I am part of a consortium on the convergence of broadcast and gaming, so if youre interested in this area, I am happy to share any detail that we are exposed to, dm me your email, and happy to share.

Thanks mate. Will drop you a DM.

Might as well start discussing WWE too. It's just as authentic as a youtuber and a washed up rapist having a sparring session and making sure not to hit each other hard

You don't have to click on the topics you don't like. Just ignore them, I do.

Mario Barrios-Abel Ramos confirmed for Jake Paul-Mike Tyson undercard

Mario Barrios will defend his WBC welterweight title against Abel Ramos on the undercard of Jake Paul-Mike Tyson on November 15.

The ill-advised contest between Paul and Tyson, at the AT&T Stadium in Texas, was already on course to be supported by the rematch at super lightweight between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.

Barrios agreeing to fight Ramos will regardless at least delay potential plans for him to fight Manny Pacquiao in what – should it come to pass – could prove a similarly ill-advised comeback for the retired Filipino.

“I’m thrilled to be part of this once-in-a-lifetime event,” said Barrios, 29. “The fight on the Jake Paul versus Mike Tyson card is huge, with millions watching live on Netflix. Abel Ramos is a tough Mexican fighter, just like me, so I know it’ll be a hell of a fight in front of my Texas people at the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium.

“I’m also excited to showcase my indigenous roots on this global platform. Don’t miss this fight – it’s going to be war, Puro San Antonio!”

Ramos, 33 and like Barrios of Mexican-American descent, said of the fight: “I’m very excited to be fighting for the WBC title and I’m looking forward to a great fight against Mario Barrios.

“He’s a warrior just like me and I’m going to give the fans at Cowboys Stadium and those watching around the world on Netflix an exciting fight on Friday, November 15th.”
