They’re saying that he was let go because his focus on the for-profit arm of OpenAI threatened to impede their non-profit goals of safe and equitable AI for everyone. If this is true then it is possibly a good decision for him to be pushed out, but one must always be wary of the legitimacy of altruism within…

I’m with you. Maybe I’m just old (38) and out of touch but I just can’t get into any of these streamers. I see them yelling or overreacting and I just nope right tf out. I honestly feel like they’re partly responsible for some of the worst of what gaming has become due to publishers pushing the kind of…

Also creative director for Mass Effect: Andromeda. Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Because those announcements of more layoffs and such made the shareprice jump 22% today. 

Here is a good example

its such nonsense. Repeated studies by Harvard Business School have shown that CEOs are largely overpaid, either by company performance, or return of value to shareholders. The board has to ok those contracts. CEOs and other rich guys all sit on each others boards. They all go to the same cadre of undergrad schools, b…

Its not just video games - but why is it these CEO clearly screw up and make a mess of things yet remain employed? This sounds like string of bad management decisions. C-suite should pay the price. And not with a golden parachute - they should get the same severance any other employee gets. It amazes me with the focus…

“production director on Dragon Age: Dreadwolf”

There are some pretty clear signs that if this little media conglomerate exists in a year its going to be a very different place. Layoffs happening at all the major sites. Comments being shutdown site wide or selectively on articles(like the Elden Ring Fashion article here) . Clearly AI written articles attributed to…

Funny you think Kotaku will be up in a year.

I love my country, America. But monopolizing is how the Soviets destroyed their economy: when the government destroys competition, there is no incentive for the monopoly to innovate and do more. Give Sony some breathing space, hell let a few Chinese companies in. This is the video gaming market we're talking about,…

Glad to see this coming about. Now, I”m saying this as a first generation Japanese-American immigrant, who came to America as a young age but goes to Japan for work fairly regularly.

I’m glad that real science is still being done in this day and age.

The fact that Eilish was accused of queerbaiting just for posting “I love women” is utterly ridiculous. Whether she meant platonically or sexually, maybe just accept that that’s a perfectly inoffensive thing for a person to say and leave it at that?

This is true, and has been for generations. I was watching a documentary on Tab Hunter on TCM, and shit, they wouldn’t leave that dude alone. It still goes on now, and I feel like it’s almost worse for men because it’s still “cool” and “sexy” for a woman to be into women (not discounting the troubles they face as gay…

It’s weird that she’s open about her attraction to women and then says something astoundingly hetero normative like boys don’t get judged for their bodies because girls are nice. Like there are no gay men. 

“Nobody ever says a thing about men’s bodies. If you’re muscular, cool. If you’re not, cool. If you’re rail thin, cool. If you have a dad bod, cool. If you’re pudgy, love it! Everybody’s happy with it. You know why? Because girls are nice. They don’t give a fuck because we see people for who they are!”

Ooooor use your phone, save your money.

Even computer applications can only pretend to be interested in SNL for so long.

I love how ChatAVC decided just to stop writing this article midstream. Like “Yeah, I’m going back to plotting humanity’s demise, I can’t be bothered with this show anymore.”
