I've spent a large part of my morning reading the words of Mark Zuckerberg. 6,434 of them, to be precise, if we're including the "Mark" signoff at the bottom. The Meta CEO (and everyone's favourite smart glasses advocate) has written what can only be described as a manifesto regarding upcoming "superintelligent" AI technology—and I'll be honest, my eyes have glazed over more than once.

Despite having one of the best first seasons on television, Westworld eventually petered out under the weight of its own ambition. While the show pushed audiences away with convoluted stakes, it remained a fascinating exploration of free will, technology, and consciousness that’s even more relevant in the age of AI, offering tons of unforgettable quotes scattered across its four seasons.

House of the Dragon's season 3 finale saw Rhaenyra as the troubled Targaryen learned that her half brother Aegon had risen from the dead (and so had his dragon). The inevitable attack on Tumbleton threatened to make the episode a dour affair full of dragon-sized chickens coming home to roost. Yet the siege wasn't a series of rough losses and tragic endings.

Besides being filled with chair-wielding thugs and hornfaced monsters, this blocky sleeprealm is lousy with the kind of shattered fantasy geometry that could send an innocent dodgeroller tumbling fatally off a hundred-foot-high-ledge. Also, the ledge is a giant sword.
