I mean, adults are active on social media just as much as kids. But they're supposed to know better where as kids don't.

"We won't do x" and "We don't have a profit motive for x" are not the same statements.

"We won't do x" is not something Microsoft wrote in a document to anyone. Their lawyers aren't that stupid.

Yeah, and? Did you actually read any of that or the article I linked?

What it says and what OP said are not the same thing.

I'm a Xennial and im on there. I don't know if it's been curated for me over time or what, but I almost never get younger people in my feed. It's usually people similar in age to me (44).

how does that help their case with government workplace ban?

Who cares?

>No they haven't. We've been told that Microsoft's Xbox division has EARNED LESS MONEY during its lifetime than Sony's Playstation business.

I didn't say Xbox game division, I said Microsoft. Your belief that their game division can't be supported by the profits from the rest of the company is irrelevant...and emotional.

>Sony biggest acquisition has only half of the cost of Microsoft buying Zenimax at $7 billion dollars.

Sony made most of their acquisitions decades ago...also, so what, they buy smaller developers...what does that have to do with anything?

>And then Microsoft, a year later, has the ability to spend something at 10x the dollar amount. $70 billion.

Yeah, it's almost like Microsoft has a shitload of money because of how successful they are in other areas of their business.

>So......no. Xbox absolutely has not done anything to "earn" this.

I said Microsoft, not Xbox...why do you believe that as a matter of law these should be separate and why are you just pretending O saod Xbox and not Microsoft?

>Yes, there absolutely is. You are plainly ignorant if you think that is not the case.

No there absolutely isn't. Microsoft will still be smaller than Sony and the marketshare per company and amount of new entrants in the industry is probably one of the most healthy industries.

>No, it is relevant. Because you are trying to say that its okay for Microsoft to do this, because Sony has ALREADY COMMITTED such bad practices.

For the last time I never said half the shit you have said that I said...jesus, do you even know how to read.

And even if I did, you are back to making an emotional argument...nothing you say has anything to do with law or market impact.

>And yes the law should and DOES distinguish something that is created, and something that is bought.

No it doesn't. Let's imagine for a second that Microsoft never entered the console market and it was just Sony and Nintendo...Microsoft could buy Sony and regulators wouldn't bat an eye because there would be no change to the market, it would still just be 2 players. It wouldn't matter that Microsoft had never created anything in that market...it is irrelevant.

Just like if the current situation existed but Sony had more cash and they had of tried to acquire Activision they would scrutinise that deal despite Sony having created their exclusive IPs in house....because it is irrelevant. They would scrutinise the deal because of the potential market impact...and it would be less likely to be approved because Sony is already the market leader.

I can confirm, have one ticket in to an engineering team that hasn't been touched in a year.

2.2k is only 15% of the company?! They are bigger than spacex, for what?

It’s basically the same as GPT3 so far in my limited experience. It’s definitely willing to be confident in lying to you. I asked it for three authors who wrote about the Cult of Kosmos (a fictional cult from Assassins Creed Odyssey) and it gave me three books. At least one of which wasn’t a real book. And when I asked about what one of the authors found regarding the Cult of Kosmos it spouted off some BS which was a mix of the plot of the Assassins Creed game mixed with the authors actual work from the sound of things.

I guess Indeed will have 2,200 new job seekers on their website.

They didnt buy their popular franchises and take them away from other platforms which is what MS is doing and the heart if the issue. So no their own "medicine" isnt buying massive multiplatform publishers.

Not sure how that is so difficult to see or are people just playing stupid to defend Microsofts honor.

And MS has always done exclusives since Xbox started. Not sure why people pretend they havent. They also do countless third party deals.

Can we go back to a time when people didn't get shitcanned over email?

Or you can just buy a Tesla where they're not trying to play that game (and all the other shitty stealership games) and they don't have to be coerced into compliance. It's like a whole other way to buy a car where you don't have to pack a lunch and deal with exploitive mind games all day to get out of there with the car you intended to buy at MSRP.

They say it here which is what people are referring to.

Excerpt from the linked content^1 by Amanda Silberling:

>At a company that helps people find jobs, 2,200 employees will now have to embark on a job search of their own. Indeed laid off 15% of employees today, CEO Chris Hyams announced in an all-hands meeting.

>In a blog post, Hyams elaborated on the decision by explaining that the job market is expected to continue to cool down. Indeed makes its money by allowing companies to sponsor job listings, which shows the listing to more job seekers.

>But Hyams said that as of last quarter, sponsored job volumes were down 33% year over year, and total job openings were down 3.5%.

>The CEO will take a 25% cut in base pay himself.

>Employees were emailed about their job status within an hour of the announcement — the subject lines of these emails either read “Your Position Has Been Impacted” or “Your Position Has Not Been Impacted.”

>Employees in the U.K., Ireland, the Netherlands and Japan may still be in limbo, due to local regulations.

Even with entirely trustworthy sources, AIs are not deterministic. They can easily spit out false information having only ingested the truth.

The bot war started already. Just weeks after closed open source.. i.e. no more pesky humans.

This was guaranteed to happen but it's great that it's happening now. OpenAI, Google, Microsoft etc. are going to have no option but build in the concept of trusted sources to their AI models so that is learns to recognize misinformation, irony etc.

Right now it's chaos and that expected behaviour. AI is already in HEAVY use in technical circles and it is scarcely believable how much of a time-saver it is. Issues like this just scares away the troglodytes which, right now, is a good thing.

Really gotta love how “being wrong because it’s in beta” is twisted to be “spreading misinformation” as long as whatever dogshit community decides they don’t like the the companies involved. Regressive morons drag us all down.
