Game awards tonight has been insane so far.
BUT i gotta go to bed. :(

Things regarding inevitable RTO arent looking good.
Not something I really wanted to deal with, especially somewhere I'm really enjoying working 🙃 yikes

This “don’t feed the trolls” rhetoric is exactly what I got when harassers were flooding my inbox with death threats + calling local police in an attempt to SWAT my house. It’s outdated and ridiculous

Great reporting from Aftermath once again

If you use GMail, AI (Gemini) was turned on yesterday by default and now scans all of your content for machine learning. To turn off, go to Settings>General and scroll down. Uncheck the box for "Smart features."

There's other "Smart" add-ons as well, but that's the one that reads your content.

BF6 is out. It's the biggest thing I've ever worked on. So many people, so much effort. Do I have my own moral quandaries about a game like this (especially)during times like these? Yeah. But it's been a hell of a project to work on with some absolutely cracked people.

as a long time wow playe, looking forward to seeing what you've had a hand in!
I assume midnight related, would love to know the chains / lore areas when you are able to say what :D

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.

I've been working on this for almost 2 years now. I joined criterion games at a huge time of change, and well it's been non stop ever since.

Something really fucked up for video game media just happened... BKinG, the "NoClip of China", got his YT channel deleted twice and gave up on YouTube.

His channel had dozens of documentaries on the development of all sorts of important Chinese & Taiwanese games - all posted with English subtitles.

McDonald’s AI Hiring Bot Exposed Millions of Applicants’ Data to Hackers Who Tried the Password ‘123456’ Basic security flaws left the personal info of tens of millions of McDonald’s job-seekers vulnerable on the “McHire” site built by AI software firm Paradox.ai.

McDonald's uses an AI bot called "Olivia" for hiring. A pair of hackers found they could access every conversation job applicants had with it—including all the personal info they shared—by exploiting security vulnerabilities as basic as using the password "123456". www.wired.com/story/mcdona...

good luck dude, hope the recovery comes swiftly <3

CEO compensation graphed next to employee compensation. 🙃

EA CEO’s pay is up, as EA worker median income drops Behold, the tallest chart in Game File history. PLUS: EA execs were paid (a little) more for boosting generative AI

NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago

Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart

To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

After watching the difference between Israel bombing EVERY HOSPITAL in Gaza INTENTIONALLY for TWO YEARS STRAIGHT, and what seems like a Iranian stray missile hitting an Israeli hospital (which is bad, too!) - I'm done with Western media. This isn't journalism. It is complicity in genocide.

Almost three decades of Western and Israeli media peddling bullshit underground bunkers to justify massacring millions of Middle Eastern folks.

It works because it's impossible to disprove until you've massacred everyone - the secret bunker *might* just be under the next hospital or school, right?

very rapunzellian.
