It wasn’t about trade secrets, they were shipping AI data centers components into China via her company (Megaspeed) which was funded by AliBaba.
- Comment on PlayStation Cancels Online Shooting Title ‘Fairgames’ 17 hours ago:
Sony Group Corp.’s PlayStation has canceled Fairgames, the long-incubating online shooting game that was in development at Haven Studios, its subsidiary in Montreal.
There will be no job cuts as a result of the cancellation, a spokesperson for PlayStation said. “The studio will shift its focus to collaborating with other development teams across PlayStation Studios, while also exploring new creative opportunities,” the company said in a statement.
Fairgames, announced in 2023, was part of an ongoing initiative from the Japanese gaming group to release so-called “live-service” games, ones than continue to generate sales from in-game purchases long after they’re released. The game had been reworked several times over the last three years and was planning for a re-reveal with a new title.
A recent test of the game with thousands of players did not deliver the results PlayStation expected, the company said in an email to employees on Tuesday.
“While the test demonstrated strong operational excellence, live ops readiness and community engagement, player feedback and retention results were mixed and fell short of the goals we had set,” wrote executives Sean Decker and John Doyle in the note, which was reviewed by Bloomberg News. “Combined with challenging market conditions in the PVP shooter genre, we have made the difficult decision to cease development on the game.”
PlayStation has canceled several games and closed multiple studios in recent years, including Bluepoint and Dark Outlaw Games. Its live-service initiative, for which the company had said it would release more than a dozen games, has mostly been unsuccessful.

Passive income, form your brand today, get a job, start saving money now, retain your seamen, don’t skip leg day, and you’ll be more productive if you sleep less… You can sleep when you’re dead (brought to you by Bulletproof Coffee).

Have there actually been any retro game mash ups generated? I would think the community being active, the potential to get your work lodged in game libraries would be a draw.

If by “solving problems” you mean - you yell your criteria at it enough times that it actually listens and does what you asked for an hour ago… then sure.
Let’s face it, most of the time that’s what interacting with AI is like. It feels like repeatly asking for the same thing and getting variations that you didn’t really ask for… Then eventually settling for what it’s done.

Locally run AI should be the standard. All you have to do is download a .gguf file from hugging face (around 8 gig) and load it into Koboldcpp’s GUI… Or AnythingLLM if Kobolcpp is too technical for you.
Sone models run faster, others run slower (depending on hardware, model size, and structure). Models like LFM2.5 for instance run pretty fast because they’re more like 3 small models cowriting responses.

There are forms of electro-sensitivity that can disturb people, but usually it’s from loud and poorly phased circuits in homes. Never wifi.
A lot of errie/haunted buildings are actually just electrically loud, and a number of them become peaceful once the wiring is fixed.

Of the 95,526 people in prison in the UK in 2023, there were 256 sexual assaults. It’s simply not the common occurrence media has made it out to be.
Also, you fantasizing about “revenge rape” still involves you hoping someone gets raped, and isn’t any different or better than any time that happens, such as when horrible people think about “,corrective rape” for lesbians, or revenge rape for politicians.
How about: No rape, and no rape culture.

So they’re testing whether 7 movie players get downloaded or 1 actually game? Is this AB testing?
Sadly I owned Wing Commander back in the day. I must have played it for at least an hour all up.

“We’re going to see a resurgence of woke, I know you think billionaires are evil… But they’re actually good. I’ve hired a team of people and bought a media company to say I’m good and they say I’m arguably the most influential thinker in the western world, and how could that be evil. The real evil people are muslim leftist white women because they’re not having enough children foe me to abuse. Would an evil person really tell you that with that much honesty and integrity?”

I don’t know how much “social democratic philosophy” is left when you get rid of the socialists, and choose Capitalism as your defining financial preference/policy.
You need elements of redistribution and market intervention to have a genuine socially democratic philosophy. The things “Market Liberalism” introduced as “economic rationalism” took over the establishment left were: Privatization, liaising with big business, tax reduction, restrictions on unionism, enterprise/individual bargaining… so I think claiming there’s anything “socially democratic” left at that point is a bit rich.

Jörg Hillebrand (born 2 April 1980; age 46) is a research consultant (or “research assistant” as he was officially credited) who worked on the second and third seasons of Star Trek: Picard. It did earn him his own individual Internet Movie Database entry, on top of his (second) in-universe reference as a Starfleet officer.
