Microsoft Vibe Gaming: an AI to play your games for you

I feel like they often make games boring and grueling enough these days that there are contexts where this actually makes sense. Not any games that I'd play, but the "keep you grinding to keep you engaged" is tragically a real development strategy these days. Good luck monetizing an engaged AI though, serves them right. Maybe this will force developers to focus on good games again rather than addictive games.

Oracle fires 21,000 employees to fund AI spending

Do not fall into the trap of anthropomorphising Larry Ellison. You need to think of Larry Ellison the way you think of a lawnmower. You don't anthropomorphize your lawnmower, the lawnmower just mows the lawn, you stick your hand in there and it'll chop it off, the end. You don't think 'oh, the lawnmower hates me' -- lawnmower doesn't give a shit about you, lawnmower can't hate you. Don't anthropomorphize the lawnmower. Don't fall into that trap about Oracle.
