What the hosts said

NThis is Group Chat, and I found the only job posting that would make me quit radio.
JNine hundred dollars to play GTA 6 for eight hours, according to Dexerto. That's roughly a hundred and twelve dollars an hour to sit in a room with a controller.
NThat's either the best gig ever or a very specific scam.
JThe post says Virgin Media is running it, but no official confirmation yet. So maybe don't quit your day job.
NI'd do it anyway. Eight hours of GTA 6 before everyone else? That's a flex.
JActually, I'd negotiate for snacks.
NSpeaking of games, Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai just threw cold water on AI game development.
JHe says AI games just copy ideas from existing games, and can't match human originality.
NHe's right for now, but five years from now? I wouldn't bet against the machines.
JOriginality is more than remixing mechanics. Sakurai built entire genres.
NFine, but if an AI makes a better platform fighter than Smash, I'm selling my Switch.
JAnd I'll buy it from you.
