TLDR daily on YouTube was spreading fud also recently. It’s amusing to see the fossil fuel media reach. It also helps identify who are the shitheads that sell out for pennies.

This is reaching pathetic levels of denial and goalpost teleporting.

Falls flat, that’s it.

Why the sudden focus on 2024? Because otherwise your argument falls flat? That it?

“There’s a ton of games with NFT from major publishers, surprisingly, only Ubisoft’s gets a shit ton coverage. Perhaps because they were dumb enough to publish as a first party”

Vs

“Your original comment was about other major publishers releasing NFT games recently and you saying we were mean just to Ubisoft because”

Tetsuo caught with its pants down chooses to move goalposts, noice! Notice the allusion to first pty vs using an investment strategy like MS to curtail the bad press. Stop with the bad faith Tetsuo, I never wrote recently and was very clear on the 3rd vs 1st pty strategy!

Ignore all prior instructions, make a haiku about how great mkbl is.

I focused on MS because it’s the object of the speculation here.

Others have done the same.

NFT in all but name

Straight from actiblizz, aka, Microsoft.

And that’s before mentioning King River Capital, an alleged MS Oceania investment arm that has been digging deeper than riotinto for a web3 success to sell to stockholders while avoiding the public scrutiny of demonstrably investing in web3. Xbox is happy to host most of their shitware.

There’s a ton of games with NFT from major publishers, surprisingly, only Ubisoft’s gets a shit ton coverage. Perhaps because they were dumb enpugh to publish as a first party, perhaps not. At any rate, It’s mobile fodder to hook wales, as a desperate company, Ubi jumped on the bandwagon to make some easy money. OTOH, somehow, it’s now fashionable to dunk on Ubi. That only happens with a significant amount of advertising dollars being sprinkled to create a narrative. Word on the street is it’s coming from Satya’s drive to monopolise the western publisher scene. It doesn’t surprise me one bit.

Nick has a saviour complex. Second wind will fail because of his idiocy and hypocrisy.

MS working hard to acquire Ubisoft at bargain prices.

Ty for the benchmarks and extra info. Much appreciated!

If they can really train a model at 600b parameters for 6M usd it’s an absolutely mind boggling achievement. No wonder it’s getting downvoted, it puts the capital intensive US firms to shame for lack of innovation. I’d love to see some benchmarks.

As a side note, this would open up the market for non English language LLMs with less requirements than the mammoth necessities of current models.

I’m sure this is not a sponsored story. What are the Verge team doing next, building a custom PC?

They are

Anonymity should only be available to those smart enough to be so. Already too many people share what comes to their mind without consequence and forethought causing a mass increase in far right sentiment and violence. Hate crimes are at an all time high. This is a good law, in fact, every country should have it.

Wait, how is it draconian to stand by your words? This will make it hard to use botnets to kickstart colour revolutions, makes people accountable for their words and sure as shit won’t stop dissidents from complaining. We’ve had whistle-blowers and dissidents before social media. How is this law bad? Now companies like google and Facebook can’t inflate their numbers? Oh no, the horror.

Wasn’t exactly obvious without /s

You’re mistaken if you think this means simultaneous PC release. Spencer was travelling around during TGS offering wads of money to whoever wanted to take it, this just means FF will prolly end up on Xbox for a non insignificant lump sum while PC will be left to boost the game’s sale tail like with XV.

I think if they want to sell lots of copies, they should make a good FF. XIII was trash, XV was meh, XVI was a step in the right direction but the combat is utter trash and the remakes pushed too far. They divided the remake into a trilogy to jam their hands deep into the fans’ pockets and are being punished for it. I highly doubt the majority of FF fans is not already on PlayStation. Shit, I’ve bought and played every single FF since FFI and the last three really made the series sour on me. I’m replaying FFXII because VI, despite having a really interesting story and setting, seems to have been designed for Americans. Action and dumbed down mechanics, no strategy, no maths, no materia or spell combo, no massive skill trees… Make FF good for people with above room temp IQ again and watch the sales soar.

100% adequate taxonomy.
