If you needed evidence that Trump was going to dismantle our healthcare system, here it is.

Yep, and I'm still never buying a Playstation. Not worth chasing exclusives when there are plenty of good games on PC.

Dude, know your audience. Lemmy is not the place for this SEO stuff. This belongs on LinkedIn or something.

The timeline is absolutely ridiculous considering the scale at which Google play operates. However I otherwise don't feel a bit sorry for them. It's probably a foreign experience to most of the Google team to have a competitive challenge and if they are up to it they'll be fine. If not, I guess that's the free market at work...

(Also, is it Epics entire business model to just sue their way into relevance? I'm happy to see the big tech firms squeal but seriously it's like Epic wants their entire brand to be about suing competitors.)

Tmobile does it as a service but it's a paid one and inconsistent in accuracy. I had it for free as part of a plan for a while and told them no thanks to an additional charge. Not sure it's worth paying $5/month.

This is right on the line of creepy surveillance and interesting public art project. I kind of like the idea but not a fan of the fact that it's recording in stealth. I wish it were more transparent about it. Most people wouldn't care anyway and it removes some of the discomfort of listening in on a bunch of strangers.

Yep, happened to Arcane Austin. Redfall was a disaster because Bethesda couldn't wrap their heads around the fact that Arcane made (awesome) single player games and not MMOs. Hopefully history won't repeat itself.

It's hard to believe that Annapurna leadership (and Ellison specifically) are surprised by this. It reads like Ellison is known for backing out of deals or simply not honoring them. Why should the staff believe she would honor a spinoff deal?

Hope the team is able to get something off the ground.

It's of course troubling that AI images will go unidentified through this service (I am also not at all confident that Google can do this well/consistently).

However I'm also worried about the opposite side of this problem- real images being mislabeled as AI. I can see a lot of bad actors using that to discredit legitimate news sources or stories that don't fit their narrative.

Or, perhaps a mashup of both???

I don't understand the folding phone thing. It feels like tech now is all about creating ridiculous features and tech companies trying to convince us that we want them while ignoring things that would actually be worthwhile like repairable phones, headphones jacks and minimal bloatware.

" optimize staffing levels to be more comparable with industry leaders”

I will never understand why investor types like to play follow the leader rather than giving strategic or financial reasons for business decisions. Who gives a shit if every other studio is laying people off? If the staffing is right for your company then following other industry leaders will only make things worse and cement you in a place behind those leaders.
