EA literally makes less money than their annual debt payment under this new structure. It’s Toys R Us vulture capitalism with no chance of success but to be gutted of all value and eventually dissolved.
Jason Schreier@jasonschreier.bsky.social · 18h agoEA's annual Ebitda is around $1.5 billion, which should be enough to service the interest payments. But the publisher has told debt investors that it will cut $700 million in annual costs including $170 million in "organizational efficiencies," per Bloomberg. In other words: mass layoffs

The Ken Jennings thing was distilled proof of “I’m your biggest ally until you make me feel bad for the thing I like doing and then I stop listening.” This is so common. People will stand up for a marginalized community UP UNTIL it puts them in an uncomfortable position
As a reminder, wealthy German Liberals once decided that rather than acquiesce to progressive and redistributive policies that benefit everyone, they would rather help create the conditions for fascism to grow and consolidate power because they viewed "socialism" as a threat to their privilege.

Analysts estimate that 70%+ of Microsoft, Google and Amazon's present and future AI revenues are from Anthropic and OpenAI's compute spend and model sales. Outside of two unsustainable AI labs, demand barely exists, and they've massively overbuilt capacity. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-deman...

Ken, just apologize for god’s sake
Ken Jennings@kenjennings.bsky.social · 3d agoI saw yesterday that some right-wing outlets were running stories about me, which I’m used to. But this time I’m going to say something about it, because these were framed to imply that I was aligned with their own transphobia. ⬇️

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
Bluesky oldheads will remember that brief period of time when the conservative trolls tried to storm the place and were flummoxed by the idea they would have to organically grow an audience and that someone who didn't want to talk to them could nuke every interaction they ever had from orbit

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d agoTrump: "Look at the blue cities. What do they have in common? They're all dirty. They're filthy dirty. Their streets are dirty. Their streets smell. Their storefronts are broken. Their trees are all gross. Everything about the place is dirty. It's really all of them."
"Miller insisted this meant the accusations are false, which would be convincing if you knew nothing at all about domestic abuse and if you also hated women."
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 2d ago"So far, Miller has been mostly successful in leveraging the right’s hatred of mainstream media to prevent his own party from organizing against him. It’s an ugly illustration of how the right-wing bubble both protects and suffocates its own." — @nberlat.bsky.social
