About this episode
Boots and Frank discuss GOG's AI art controversy, Ubisoft's restructuring, a GTA VI leak, and Tim Sweeney's comments on Google AI.
In this episode of The Scroll, Boots and Frank discuss GOG's recent AI art controversy and Ubisoft's massive restructuring into five "Creative Houses". They also recount the wild story of the 18-year-old who leaked GTA VI footage using an Amazon Fire Stick and explore the new "honest living" Odd Jobs in GTA Online. Plus, they weigh in on the bizarre news of Tim Sweeney praising the Google Genie 3 AI engine—calling it a "great idea" despite the tool being caught plagiarizing his own Fortnite IP. Pro-Tip for Aspiring Firefighters: Through February 4, you can earn 2X GTA$ and RP on all Odd Jobs, with firefighting dispatches paying out up to $15,000. Completing 25 dispatches will unlock "The Unwavering" outfit, and finishing 5 jobs for the first time unlocks the trade price for the MTL Fire Truck.
