    The ones that were fired 5 years after he left R*? I mean, it’d be nice if he did, but is he really at fault here?

      You think he was subconsciously hinting at his prominent cranium?

        How’s this a fyigm situation? He left 5 years before this particular thing happened, he had no say in it.

        Now if he has actual need for these employees in his new company, I could see him hiring them there, but his new studio is in California and those employees were sacked in the UK, meaning they need a new job in the UK to keep living there. He also currently has fewer employees than the amount that R* fired. That’s how small that shop is.

        His brother, however, is still an exec at Rockstar. He, along with the rest of R* and Take-Two leadership has a lot to answer for.

                Yep, someone already joked that they picked 4 digits for their username so they have a failsafe for getting banned 9,998 times. That was at 0004.

                If you look at their chat history it really explains it all tbh. I wonder if we could get this instance to defederate their account haven.

                    He left rockstar after red dead redemption II, partly because he was tired of dealing with those execs.

                        You’re absolutely right, but you also need to accept that most people think ai means transformers (as in, LLMs and generative/image synthesis)

                        It sucks, but that’s how language works unfortunately. How most people use a word ends up defining it.

                          It isn’t – it is a completely populist comparison that can’t be used as a meaningful argument.

                          CEOs work by this very same principle: say what people want to hear, making their beliefs even stronger and thus increasing their craving to hear that statement again. Repeat until something breaks.

                            Machine learning (ML) is a field of study in artificial intelligence concerned with the development and study of statistical algorithms that can learn from data and generalise to unseen data, and thus perform tasks without explicit instructions.

                            Artificial intelligence (AI) is the capability of computational systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making.

                              Sounds like machine learning (ML) “a field of study in artificial intelligence” more than what people mean when they say AI, which is Generative AI shortened.

                              Obviously depends on context of a conversation though for how you would deduce the usage of the word.

                                While I like it as a simile, we didn’t feed cows to cows - we fed them sheep infected with scrapie, at least that’s the theory of how mad cow disease started. I say “we”, I wasn’t involved in the process, I just live here.

                                        A man who left Rockstar five years before they fired people for discussing unionizing?

                                          While I like it as a simile, we didn’t feed cows to cows - we fed them sheep infected with scrapie, at least that’s the theory of how mad cow disease started. I say “we”, I wasn’t involved in the process, I just live here.

                                          Mad cow disease is caused by prions from dead cow brains infecting the healthy brains of living cows. It’s kind of the cow equivalent of Kuru.
