In recent years, we've seen a number of actors express concern about the potential for AI likenesses to be made of them without their consent. Count MCU Iron Man actor Robert Downey Jr. among them, but he's taking it a step further. He says he'll sue any executive who tries to make an AI out of him, even after he's dead.Downey Jr. was recently on the On With Kara Swisher podcast to discuss McNEAL, a new one-act play he is currently starring in on Broadway that deals with the question of AI use in literature.

They plan to be gaming the rest of their lives so decided it would "save a good bit of money."A PS Plus Essential subscription cost $79.99 per year, so 24 years worth costs $1,919.76. Then, Sony was kind enough to offer the player an 89% discount to upgrade to a Premium subscription in a bizarre loophole, charging just $199.99 instead of $1,889.75, meaning it came to $2,119.75 altogether,

For years, rumors have abounded about secret ways to save her and keep her in the party. And now, speedrunners have found a path to keeping her around that may also be a massive time-saver.Discovered by speedrunners AceZephyr and Kuma and publicized by Luzbel, a new skip allows players to jump from Midgar all the way to Forgotten Capital with Aerith still in the party. Because it skips the part of the game where Aerith leaves the party, she sticks around, and ultimately witnesses her own death at the hands of Sephiroth only to join the battle against Jenova Life moments later.The biggest skip in FF7 has …
