It's not ideal (to say the least) that OpenAI's success may depend on big companies using it to replace human workers at huge scales. How will people pay for OpenAI if nobody has a job? The business model is a negative feedback loop.

Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

"They're trying to change our habits, because all of the projections rely on people becoming truly dependent on the technology. Whether or not it's actually a good thing for society isn't considered to be a factor."

"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."

New analyses suggest OpenAI's loss-making will require it to find a further $207 billion in funding, even IF it "optimistically" hits profitability by 2030. 😬

What if Microsoft hadn't killed Mixer?

Now that it owns WoW, Call of Duty, and other major games, top-level integrations could've given it the boost it needs to fully compete ...

The thing about Xbox's strategy is that it's really sound on paper, it really is just whether they can be nimble enough to execute it.

Corporate bureaucracy, legacy Windows problems, and battling AI slop mandates is going to make delivering "Xbox on PC" very hard.

I'm re-reviewing the Xbox Ally after one month of daily use
The Xbox Ally has totally changed my gaming habits, but the criticisms are valid. Particularly if you're trying to use this more like a PC than an "Xbox."

How well is the Xbox Ally X doing? Very well, according to ASUS. Although the stock situation remains dire, it sounds like it has become a pretty nice business for the big Windows OEM.
