Reminds me of Amazon Games’ disastrous MMO launches in Europe because they refused to add more server capacity for European players until they left in droves. For comparison the US servers had more than three times as much capacity at launch.

That’s not whataboutism. Whataboutism is when someone brings something unrelated up to make the main topic look less important and that’s not happening here.

Alright that’s still a weird ruling to someone outside America though because something like a shopping mall or a parking lot are public spaces here too as well as anything that is openly visible on the internet. Which makes a lot of sense.

Sony would essentially own the anime and manga industry and be able to dictate monetization practices as well as trends. I find that even more concerning than the Fromsoft acquisition and that’s saying something. Nothing good can come from this whatsoever.

I’m surprised European governments haven’t demanded better enforcement of laws when it comes to hate speech on Steam. Instead they regulate stuff like lootboxes or spicy content because they think those are more harmful than fascism apparently.

It’s a public space in Europe for sure. No idea why the US would think openly accessible forums are a private little backroom where rules don’t apply.

If it was a core directive it would just delete itself.

And nobody was surprised. I predict most advertisers will return by the end of January for the same reasons they left previously: It’s the right business decision at the right time. Remember that the next time a corporation makes a pledge. It’s always about money.

The FTC does have a pretty solid track record under their current lead, it’s just that it will likely be demolished under Trump.

It should be added this was discovered to the surprise of absolutely no one.

What does a datacenter need a huge glass front for? Slashing carbon emissions? Yeah right.

Good, I hope they raise pricing too and pay creators even less. Make it hurt. It’s the only language users understand apparently.

Both can be true at the same time if you just use human labor behind a screen to assist the lackluster hard- and software. They tried that with their self-checkout supermarkets while claiming they were fully automated.

And the thing is the architecture of LLMs was already a huge breakthrough in the field. Now these companies are basically trying to come up with another by - and that’s just my guess - throwing tons of cash at it and hoping for the best. I think that’s like trying to come up with a building material that outperforms steel concrete in every aspect. Just because it was discovered by some guy doesn’t mean multi billion dollar companies can force something better with all the money in the world.

It only ever works for a decade or two before it obliterates the economy every single time.

You know what? Don’t worry too much about it. Reality will catch up eventually.

Yeah that’s exactly what I mean. It’s the best example that state capitalism is extremely destructive and cannibalizing the economy.

Problem is that it’s hurting the economy, meaning that if your hypothesis is right, capitalism collapses rather quickly if left on it’s on devices.

Oh so they’re copying infamous and largely ineffective wolf warrior tactics from China. Good way to make every single country despise and look down on the US.
