“All of this feels ridiculous because that’s exactly what it is. But the larger goal is to inure you to the strangeness of it all so that when these products — be they movies, shows, or TikToks — finally come to market, your reaction is ‘Sure, why not?’”

The point is to normalize generative AI in your mind.

Microsoft shoved their AI Copilot into everything in Windows 11. Which lead to an increase in Windows 10 use. So they announced they'd stop support for Windows 10, but its usage was still strong. So they started to put Copilot into Windows 10.

Windows 7 use is surging 5x now.

AI is product poison.

Gaming-Only journalists and analysts are pretty accurately calling this EA acquisition what it is: a doomed idea that will cause untold human misery and kill the company and probably bury all its IPs

Tech/Gaming Journalists keep trying to find a silver lining. Huh. Curious. Strange. Odd. Quirky.

Buying a company by taking out a massive loan, then making the company you bought responsible for paying off that loan, is so patently evil that it should be beyond illegal. The kind of thing that inspires enlightened societies without corporal punishment to bring back the death penalty as a one-off

this business model should be flatly illegal

taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome

ban it completely

Jason Schreier @jasonschreier.bsky.social · 9d

It’s official: EA is going private.

The leveraged buyout will be financed by a staggering $20 billion of debt, which likely means some *aggressive* cost cutting is ahead for EA in the coming months and years.

Easy sales recommendation. A team of AAA veterans (including Bioware & Ubisoft) do a smart, mechanically complex fusion of Shadow of The Colossus, Tears of the Kingdom and a little bit of extraction shooter?

It's exceptionally polished. This team could go a long way!

Absolutely worth the price.

They have a world building podcast (also on yt! 🔗 below), with Mary writing the first season that just wrapped up, and Sylvia's first ep just dropped!
