So Mark wants to have an assistant, something to help him be CEO... I see this nothing more than a desperate investor trying to demonstrate that A.I. is wonderful and has many many uses...

This should be interpreted as "AI is a bubble that is long overdue for bursting and we don't want to offset our huge income on losses over AI. However we can't show that the bubble is going to burst."

I look forward to the new season of Stargate-SG.A.I.

Its not that its "New", its that it is dangerous. Its dangerous because results can be and sometimes are wrong. I suppose it can be fixed / improved, but I am not a beta tester. In fact the idiots are the ones who invested in the promise of future improvement without any safeguards and an AGI would be good, would be controlled by governments and mega corps so is vulnerable to their whims. If you don't believe everything you read on the Internet, what makes you think that AI would be better? It sucked up all the PC tech I love and made it increase in price while the mega corps hype that crap right up. A solution to this was a suggestion to move gaming to the cloud, which I don't want and wont do. It has infected my PC with AI additions I neither asked for nor want (although using it for generating memes is fun). Asking if I want it is one thing, its another to have it on everything from notepad to the OS itself. I certainly wont be using it regularly because I don't don't have a use for it. Its quite 'clever' but that's it. I am not a luddite, I just don't want AI.

When will they stop all this AI nonsense. I must be getting old.

Have you not heard of sponsorblock. I use it and its fantastic at cutting the crap out. Don't forget to go into the options on sponsorblock and add merch blocking as an option too because no, i don't want an overpriced water bottle.

A way around this issue for Microsoft is to depreciate Call of Duty and to make the blockbuster FPS multiplayer game under a different IP, maybe call it 'Medal of Honor' or something.

I assumed that this is what happens. The boot animation was displaying while other startup processes are running at the same time. If it's not, then it is a waste of time.

Will the court shrink as time goes on? With the last lawyer standing getting a bonus?

Blimey. I used to go to that site daily for my fix. Jon De Hartog IIRC. (Forgive me if my spelling is off or I am wrong, my memory is not as good as it used to be,,,Get that site back!

I really enjoy Jim Sterling's videos about Steam Greenlight. I guess now they will be consigned to history,

Actually things have moved on... Now you just press the "Turbo" button on the front of the tower case... ;)

I think people have to take other browsers apart from Edge into account too. Take Chrome, which hasn't been mentioned at all in the summary, that browser is plugged again and again on Google services to the point you feel obligated to install it. I do usually have multiple browsers installed anyway in case of a problem which would affect my browser. I personally have gone back to Firefox as I just prefer it over other options, my PC is fast enough to render at a speed that I don't notice the difference between browsers. Edge only comes up if I start an 'app' from the start menu and it is quickly discarded back where it came from once the job is done.

I didn't say I wanted to be considered a serious one, I asked that it is not considered a childs hobby.

Can we please all try to bury the myth once and for all that gaming is niche or a childs hobby. Jokes about people in basements aside, isn't it time gaming was recognised as a legitimate hobby?
