AI is changing how work gets done, but not eliminating entire roles. At IBM, “a couple hundred” HR workers were replaced by AI agents, CEO Arvind Krishna told The Wall Street Journal in May.

While we have done a huge amount of work inside IBM on leveraging AI and automationon certain enterprise workflows, our total employment has actually gone up, because what it does is it gives you more investment to put into other areas,” Krishna said.

The company used AI savings to hire more programmers and salespeople.

so they did fire a couple hundred HR people, but claim that allowed them to hire more people in other areas. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Phone is just an app on my phone. and god help you if you use it on me without texting first.

i figured it was going to be a transition over time for less shocking optics.

anyway, the main point is microsoft wants them to make games, exclusive or not. buying them didn’t eliminate any competition.

not always true, they clearly bought zenimax to make exclusive xbox games.

the person above is also assuming 0-100% charge every day. most people won’t go through a whole battery charge every day, at least for the first couple years.

you’re also assuming 0-100% charge every night which most people won’t do. so very likely much more than 3 years.

does charging not work on switch 2, or just A/V?

maybe they already replaced this producer with AI.

no no we can’t risk the future of the company on AI.

reposted clips of other content like music movies and TV shows?

at this rate they might as well just cancel xbox.

are you comfortable with a single corporation having control over this sort of service? the current government is obviously not ideal but that shouldn’t stop us from regulating monopolies.

when a critical service is not economical for more than one business to do (natural monopoly), that’s when govt should be stepping in.

oh look a whole other new reason to avoid sports.

been using Big Picture for years. it’s a better experience than the ad-riddled UIs of the xbox and playstation.

same. the trick is to float by doing literally nothing as slow as possible. it takes some trial and error to figure out when you can maneuver again but you do have to be a little patient.

i don’t think it’s a spoiler to say this because you learn very early in the game - physically everything in the worlds goes back to square one after 22 minutes (or if you die).

you do get to keep a log of everything you learn about the worlds and story but that’s all that persists. the log is actually helpful, so follow that if you get lost.

slight spoiler:

they may have bunkers as a contingency but i doubt they think that existence is inevitable.
