  Second part caught my eye

  > 2026 will be a big year for tech industry entertainment, with both the sequel to David Fincher’s “The Social Network” and Luca Guadagnino’s OpenAI film “Artificial” planned for release.

  Geezus, really? hm. Social Network 2 is one thing. OpenAI 2023-drama is a whole other thing. ugh

  "The new legal drama TV series “Cupertino” was just announced as part of CBS’s 2026-2027 season, as reported by entertainment trade publications Wednesday morning. The show ... is set to star Mike Colter (“Luke Cage,” “Evil”) as a lawyer whose tech startup employer cheats him out of his stock options. The show’s logline frames this as a David vs. Goliath fight, in perhaps the first time in history that a lawyer for a tech company has been framed as an underdog."
