So the whole leveraged buyout was predicated on "AI" lies.

... yeah EA's going to be sold off for parts in five years, tops.

Wait was EA’s big GenAI push a bid to convince potential buyers that it could lower operating costs after a purchase to help pay for debts??

They have like four whole game studios making the Battlefield series, you can’t run a CoD-competing juggernaut with automation.

Interesting section on EA's £55 billion takeover, I'm sure this is all gonna work out so well...
"The deal is a huge bet that artificial intelligence can significantly cut EA's operating costs, allowing the equity consortium to manage a large debt load on a company that historically carried limited net debt.
Al is already widely used across Silicon Valley to accelerate many kinds of computer programming. In games development, it can be used to replace voice actors and create backdrops and other assets, as well as automating play testing to avoid bugs before release."
"The investors are betting that Al-based cost cuts will significantly boost EA's profits in coming years, people involved in the transaction told the Financial Times."

I've used this one. It's simple and easy to understand.

Just set a restore point first.

Indeed. Unfortunately at this point they are selling these "features" to investors and not the actual users, hence why they are being forced down our throats regardless if they are an actual good idea or not (which, imo, is very much not)

I can feel that. I don't even live in the american continent, much less the USA specifically, and then I see news about US politicians that make it unambiguous that I know more of how some of the basic things are over there than the people whose job is (supposedly) to know this stuff

This!

I too have done the call centre jobs but I have *also* worked as part of the higher up team that would review the call centre job performances, documenting why they were doing great or poorly.

Call centres are costly to train and these employees aren't suddenly going to get fired.

Some people (who claim not to be company shills) would like us to stop calling payment processors to object to them stopping us from spending our money on things we want. They're hopping onto threads about how we're going to get innocent call center workers fired, how dare we?!

I got to talk to Ross on my Stream a while back about the Stop Killing Games initiative, and it's a shame the traction has stopped, so even if I'm a relatively tiny streamer, let's see if we can't give this another push?

Clearly the (accidental) color-coordinated outfits provided a powerful morale boost
