I spoke to Japanese game devs/industry professionals (including Shuhei Yoshida) about the U.S. games industry layoffs, and why they aren’t happening in Japan. It is both very simple and very interesting, imo! youtu.be/npmohif-jj0

A certain AAA studio told employees that their internal gen AI was trained only on local data, but whenever said employees tried to generate an image of a woman holding a gun, it generated Lara Croft. The studio was not Crystal Dynamics, and had never worked on the Tomb Raider IP in any capacity.
I just want to mention: Even if your AI somehow runs locally and you think it's okay, it's still using trained data from a pre-existing dataset which is still full of stolen work. The sheer amount of data gen AI needs is in the hundreds of thousands, you can only get that by scraping

twitch is seriously pissing me off with how condescending they are talking to entire adults making yearly income on their platform like we're 12 year olds not understanding how society works as an excuse to implement their godawful change nobody is happy about except the ai crowd desperate for a win

I think Xbox will also get rid of discs. They don’t care much about a ‘leg up’ on PlayStation and haven’t for years. Both companies are actually actively competing with other streaming services and social media - Netflix, YouTube, etc., as well as digital services like Roblox.
Do you have any idea if xbox would follow sony in this regards or keep disks? Personally I think they would just cause it would give them a leg up on sony amd any bit of leverage helps warning your behind in sales lol.

No one is safe when ICE feels empowered to detain U.S. citizens, use violence, and retaliate against those exercising our free speech rights. ACLU state affiliates across the country are representing people harmed by federal law enforcement to make sure immigration agents aren't let off the hook.

For the first time in over six decades, Florida plans to execute two people on the same day today, including an 80-year-old and a potentially innocent man. These would mark the 40th and 41st men put to death on Governor DeSantis’ watch. Abolishing the death penalty can't wait.

Seeking asylum is a legally protected international human right. Trump’s deportation agenda was never about “legal immigration.” It was always about cruelty.
NEW: The Trump admin just published a new regulation allowing asylum officers at USCIS to deny hundreds of thousands of “affirmative asylum” applications without an interview, sending applicants directly to deportation proceedings. This means many people will never get a chance to argue their case.

Trump has ordered the installation of signs outside the Smithsonian Museum “warning” visitors that it doesn’t portray American history correctly. Why is he so determined to take over the Smithsonian? It’s all part of his attack on the American mind.

Too many people have lost their lives due to ICE's violence and negligence. These devastating tragedies are a predictable result of President Trump and Stephen Miller's anti-immigrant campaign. Tell our leaders in Congress to stop enabling ICE's violence at aclu.org/stop-ice_killings

The FCC is demanding certain ABC stations file license renewals earlier than they're otherwise scheduled to in apparent retaliation for Jimmy Kimmel's jokes about the Trump administration. Help us flood the FCC with comments objecting to this attack on freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

Trump's nominee to run the CFPB, Brian Johnson, is a former Capitol One executive who previously consulted for payday lenders and credit reporting agencies Now he could lead the very agency meant to rein those predatory companies in. The fox is in the henhouse.

The pushback on this 3% stat reeks of misinfo being spread somewhere. To be clear: Sony didn’t say only 3% of people buy physical games. They said only 3% of THEIR sales (ALL sales) come from physical games. Sony would never include used game sales in a pie graph regarding their own sales data.

ICE's temporary holding facility in Manhattan was built to hold a handful of people for a few hours at a time. For several weeks, ICE packed it with up to 86 people without any beds, showers, or full-time medical staff. We're suing.

This is the kind of person Trump and ICE are sending out into American streets.
Unearthed audio reveals David Brouillette, the ICE agent who killed a man in Maine, threatening to slit his ex-wife's throat: "Every single female in your bloodline is nothing but a disgusting, fat [bleep]. All of you should have your throats slit."
