Dead Space and Call of Duty’s Glen Schofield says he’s been experimenting with generative AI for 2 years and believes it can help ‘fix’ the games industry.

“AI isn’t here to replace us, it’s here to make us better, faster, and more efficient,” he says. “It’s a tool”.

“Of course there’s a bubble,” said Hemant Taneja, chief executive of venture capital firm General Catalyst, which raised an $8bn fund last year and has backed Anthropic and Mistral. “Bubbles are good.

Maybe it’s a Radio 2 thing? Like the mold in the studios sends them that way.

POV you're living your best life WHAT AS A CAMERA OPERATOR FILMING SOME PRICK

Sb @xtasbe.bsky.social · 4d

IT'S NOT POV IF I CAN SEE YOUR FACE. I AM SUPPOSED TO BE THE PERSON WITH THE POV. IF SOMEONE IS FILMING ME IT'S NOT MY POV IT'S THEIR POV. FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST
