A group of investors including private-equity firm Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund could unveil a deal for the publisher best known for its sports games as soon as next week, WSJ said.
Is there a way to get a list of the top company’s involved? I’m curious who the owners would be. This implies it would mostly be Saudi Arabia, but it isn’t clear.
If I’ve learned anything about the corporate world is that they only want metrics that confirm the views they hold or want to push. I think you have a point though. These are metrics that they can reference when trying to get advertising money. If I was an advertiser I’d care more about how many are not bots though.
I’m not really anti AI, but I do have plenty of issues with it. Mostly with how it is trained and pushed. Well and almost everyone in charge of it. It feels like the worst people are excited at the idea of replacing people and it is very dystopian.
But like, I don’t hate LLMs. In fact what I hate the most about them is the human aspects I guess. Like I see a lot of people on forums almost religious about it.
Anyways, I know Lemmy hates it. What is the main reason? Is it similar to what I dislike about it or is the underlying technology (not the copyright issues) also upsetting people?
Plex hasn’t been getting better, but it still does what I need. I have a lifetime pass from years ago. If I was starting today I would be a lot less inclined to pay for Plex though. They keep adding things I don’t want.
I have a lot of curiosity about Trans and I’m impressed your so open to questions. I fear that my questions might come off poorly and it isn’t my intention, I just don’t know how to ask these in the best light.
I see that you mentioned there are studies that point to Trans likely being a mismatch between the brain and body at development. But, do you think there is also a link that involves childhood trauma? Or is the science very clear?
I often find myself uncomfortable with Trans people in person, but I often wonder if half of that is simply that I don’t know how to treat someone. The ones that I met that had relatively normal behavior I found pretty easy to talk to and I felt for them. But ones that were more complicated, say neurodivergent beyond dysphoria, or they had a lot of emotional trauma, made me very uncomfortable. Do you think most of this issue is that as children we are taught how to treat people that are squarely female or male, rather than learning how to treat people as a whole?
I often wish the world wasn’t so hostile, but I also find that some things that were set in motion in my childhood are the hardest to change. It’s easy to change what I act on, but harder to change how I feel.
Thank you again for doing this!
I get what you are saying but everyone is ignoring the human condition. We feel things based on how they are around us in a relative sense.
It doesn’t matter if it is statistically better. Modern times are getting worse for people. Health, privacy, freedom are all declining in America. That is what people see and feel. I’m tired of people acting like we have life horizons that can see centuries.
Chronic health is a real current issue and it absolutely destroys quality of life too.
So yeah, great, best time to be alive. But since I was a kid many things have gotten worse. From health (cost, accessibility) and education to privacy. Maybe we will be much farther ahead in 20 years, but the next 10 are looking grim.
This is a big reason why I hated learning history. It is very depressing. I’m always amazed how people can’t seem to understand things they didn’t personally live through. It is a constant cycle of exploitation then revenge on the exploiters and then a new way to exploit.
I’m trying to be hopeful, but it feels like we are in the phase where most need to suffer in order to get to a better place. Climate change is scary, but I try to remember progress can be explosive in ways you don’t expect.
