“Free up spending for AI” what kinda hell are we living in

I cant wait for the corporate bootlickers out there to be like "no this is fine actually those 15K employees just need to get good and find a new job, easy."

as someone that has a lot of interest in the topic AI this is just straight up psychotic of them. AI is smart but not that smart that it can reliably replace people rn

These idiots act as if AI isnt learning from US

AI will be the next "yeah we invented machines so we no longer need workers" thing but it's not ready yet

How can Xbox come back from this?

they don't need to come back from anything

they make record profits rn

they are on a factual basis right in what they are doing

the success gives them right

them laying off so many people won't hurt the company

because all that matters is the profit

the majority of their consumers doesn't care about the lay offs. the only thing consumers care about is gamepass and the quality of their games

consumers also don't care whether shit is made with AI or not as long as the product is good

consumers don't reaIIy care how anything is made at aII so Iong as it's good

Iord knows a successfuI business is buiIt on the back of random sweatshops

AIN'T THAT JUST HUMOROUS
aIthough, in xbox's case, idk if anyone's sweeping for them rn

repIace xbox with nintendo though and suddenIy my previous statement sounds stupid (though I doubt even nintendo's gonna give in to AI bs)

And that's Fire Force S3 cour 1 completed. Look... be mad at me all you want... I'm so glad this series is back and it's back with a vengeance lol. Possibly the best season thus far. Can't wait for the rest 🤩

wdym, the execs basically already did that. the one guy even said "here's how to use ai to help with the loss of your job due to us pursuing ai"

idk why anyone would be mad at you for this, but if there is someone then you should probably block them because it sounds like they're adding unnecessary negativity to your life

He always peppers his speech with stuff like that lol

mega's gonna share any reasonabIe opinion and act as if the entire worId's gonna kiII him for it

can you teII he used to be on reddit

sksksks

You ain't got to call out the homie like that 😭

I meant more so regular people who always feel the need to stick up for/defend corporations and billionaires 😔

https://x.com/kerryshawcross/status/1941579170385101276?s=46 time to clown for Volume 10 news

https://vxtwitter.com/officialrwby/status/1941582029952311673?s=46&t=XZes__8wgGE-5CLdY3rbCw

Volume 10 in the early writing stages

i mean, as long as it's not scrapped and abandoned for good, that's good enough for me

no Hawk, we must demand more from our capitalism

The only way to beat capitalism is with more capitalism

thats why I'm going to the one place that hasn't been corrupted by it

> Today we are sharing decisions that will impact colleagues across our organization. To position Gaming for enduring success and allow us to focus on strategic growth areas, we will end or decrease work in certain areas of the business and follow Microsoft’s lead in removing layers of management to increase agility and effectiveness. Out of respect for those impacted today, the specifics of today’s notifications and any organizational shifts will be shared by your team leaders in the coming days.
>
> I recognize that these changes come at a time when we have more players, games, and gaming hours than ever before. Our platform, hardware, and game roadmap have never looked stronger. The success we're seeing currently is based on tough decisions we've made previously. We must make choices now for continued success in future years and a key part of that strategy is the discipline to prioritize the strongest opportunities. We will protect what is thriving and concentrate effort on areas with the greatest potential, while delivering on the expectations the company has for our business. This focused approach means we can deliver exceptional games and experiences for players for generations to come.
>
> Prioritizing our opportunities is essential, but that does not lessen the significance of this moment. Simply put, we would not be where we are today without the time, energy, and creativity of those whose roles are impacted. These decisions are not a reflection of the talent, creativity, and dedication of the people involved. Our momentum is not accidental—it is the result of years of dedicated effort from our teams.
>
> HR is working directly with impacted employees to provide severance plan benefits (aligned with local laws), including pay, healthcare coverage, and job placement resources to support their transition. Employees whose roles were eliminated are encouraged to explore open positions across Microsoft Gaming, where their applications will be given priority review.
>
> Thank you to everyone who has shaped our culture, our products, and our community. We will move forward with deep appreciation and respect for all who have contributed to this journey.
