For the love of God, can we get a reboot of the Silicon Valley television show? Just on AI. Like when they wrapped it, they wrapped it on AI usage. So, it's got the perfect arc for a reboot that focuses perfectly on AI.
The "Son of Anton" was an coding agent that deleted the entire codebase. Not so far off from Cursor's YOLO mode, is it?

Why ? we get to watch the original reality show in real time, for free!
Even the original Silicon Valley didn’t match the zaniness of real life. Why do we need a reboot? Just check HN!
My favorite thing about that series was watching it with friends who weren't from the Bay Area. Often they'd be laughing at the sheer absurdity of a situation, and I'd get to point out that it was barely exaggerated from real life.
My wife refuses to watch it because it hit too close to home.
That's what my friends not from SF said. "This is insane, this would never happen"
Dude, I saw a lot crazier things happen on a monthly basis. And don't even get me started on the personal lives and partying that the show didn't display.
