- Comment on "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 9 hours ago:
Theoretically, now that Microsoft owns half the AAA studios, you could expect Gamepass to have a lot of day 1 AAA games.
Unfortunately, they just bought all the studios and… ordered them to stop making games or something.
I’d cancel if I hadn’t done it several years ago. Oh well.
- Comment on Data Shows That AI Use Is Now Declining at Large Companies 3 days ago:
Can already confirm they are doing that.
Well yeah, I guess I meant more that this trend is increasing.
We marked ourselves as “AI powered” . Nobody is using our AI tools after they go live. We can see the logs.
Did using the buzzword help at all with shareholders or customers though?
The executives are building dog shit unrealizable tools right now that nobody uses
Don’t even need to build them sometimes IMO. Friend pointed out that the excellent notetaking app she was using claimed to use AI and then she found this comment on reddit from one of the people behind it:
While FlowSavvy’s auto-scheduling is considered AI in the broad sense that it performs complex tasks that mimic human intelligence (and is exactly what people are looking for when they’re looking for “AI scheduling”), it does not ML/DL. Instead, FlowSavvy uses a carefully-designed deterministic algorithm to schedule tasks predictably, reliably, and quickly.
Everyone seems to be super happy with it as an AI auto-scheduler lol

I predict that for a while, corporations will lie about using AI more than they actually do, just because it’s still being hyped. But then everyone will stop giving a fuck.
- Comment on Bitcoin investor moves $8 billion worth of crypto after 14 years, originally bought for less than $210,000 — 80,000 BTC transferred from Satoshi-era wallet 2 months ago:
In cash, but it was always risky. Couriers get intercepted, etc.
That said, I don’t think BTC is the best for CIA. It’s publicly traceable and that’s always been known. Of course if they have untraceable bank accounts and used those to buy the BTC, then it’s not particularly relevant. The spies can use their own tactics to hide their income.
