According to a person with knowledge of the matter, the discrepancy arose from attempts by OpenAI’s own investors to produce a direct comparison with Anthropic’s annualised revenues. The pair calculate the figure in different ways, with Anthropic including the revenue from sales via cloud partners such as AWS and Google Cloud, while OpenAI does not.

I like minecraft dungeons 2 I dislike that once again another spin off is rough at launch I have faith it'll get better, much like dungeons 1 did, but legends being dropped so fast dampened that faith from confident to hopeful Im still here for it though cause I want whimsy in my arpgs!

Apparently the CEO of Hoyo has stated that in the next couple years HoYoverse will “play one of the most pivotal roles in China’s LLM-AI” I straight up don’t know any other game developer making this much of a spectacle out of its AI use. I understand the cultural difference. It’s still alarming.

I think people (not talking about Steve here) make a lot of assumptions about the rationality or forethought behind massive deals or investments, and think companies have plans, or strategies. In reality tens of billions can be spent because of the vibes

Mamdani’s policies and movements are so scary to establishment Dems because he’s doing SO MANY, *all at once*…and they’re just, happening? Which completely flies in the face of the “slow progress” narrative we all were conditioned to accept. The more people learn of it, the more they’ll ask for it.

Jesus, I didn't watch the Gamescom Opening Ceremonies, but it sounds like I dodged quite a lot of slop. What a miserable state of affairs. How about I do a thread of trailers for upcoming games that, to the best of my knowledge are slop free, for you all to watch instead?

CAL & KIIRA NUMBER 100! Post Traumatic Injury # 7 - Finale! *Confetti!*

Freya and Kiira sitting on a rooftop. Freya offers a cigarette:
Freya: "Want shorts?"
"Yeah... thanks. Gosh, I haven't smoked since..."
Freya: "You me and the Captain would turn off the fire supressors after keeping each other up all night."
"Heh... yeah."

Kiira: "He died so we could get out, yanno? So we could leave and have our own lives."
Freya:"He did. Bless him, he died for us."
Kiira: "So... Freya..."
Freya:"Just ask it."

Kiira: "Why are you still fighting? Just... come home. Please."

Freya:"Bun, how long have you been suffering? Be honest."
Kiira: "...since we burned my uniform. Since you set me up at this apartment. Gosh. I've been so... ashamed. I can't handle civilian life, too much of a coward to fight on your crew. What good am I?"

Freya: "Coward? Baby girl, you're the brave one."
Kiira: "Pff. You know that's bullcrap."
Freya:"No. Honey, I mean it."

Freya: "Kiira, you know the reason I never stopped fighting? I know the second I do I'm going to be dealing with EVERYTHING you have. The guilt. The fear. The memories. All of it. When you said you wanted OUT... like for real out... I thought you were the bravest woman I'd ever met."

Kiira: "Then why does it feel this way?"

Freya: "Because... hon. You've been keeping it a secret. Look at the family you have and the way they all came to your side. You've got love, hon. Just let love in."

Kiira: "...you gonna stay, Freya?"
Freya: "For a while. Just to be sure you follow through. I'm not ready for what you have. Not... not yet."
Kiira: "That's fair."
Freya: "Now, go. Get. You owe a lot of people a LOT of hugs."

Final Panel: Kiira embraces Cal as the rest of the family finally lets down their guard, seeing the old bunny they know and love return.

Look at this perfect and tiny leaf-cutter bee (left), and before you ask “HOW TINY IS IT?!” I say BEHOLD: For she is *this* tiny.

A wee black and white bee on a small yellow coreopsis flower.

For comparison- a regular honeybee on the same flower.

Now I’m holding the blossom in my hand, between two fingers so you can see that the flower is about the size of a quarter.

Everything I said was true. Here’s more truth: that statement is remarkably pathetic for the CEO of any company to be making, and combined with the AI use it will do far more damage to Saber’s reputation than it ever could mine. This screed will be many people’s first exposure to the Saber brand.

I've been making changes in my personal life that I haven't spoken very publicly on, but one thing I do want to be public is that my close friends call me Bea now. And if any of you want to call me Bea or B, that would make me very happy. <3 But no pressure, I won't be upset if I hear Martin.
