In this episode of Urban Odyssey, we break down how the massive >$1billion spending behind GTA VI finances not only a “black hole of entertainment” that some are speculating “could cost the economy an estimated $1billion due to estimated 1.5million workers calling in sick,” but more importantly, how it finances major technological improvements to AI, Game Engine & Machine-Learning Algorithms that will be used to simultaneously improve and train the same technologies used to track microsecond behaviors, harvest psychometric data, and test cutting-edge predictive policing & behavioral prediction systems.
