Also to mention a very poor customer service experience @MashreqTweets i have been waiting since 6 days just to hear unless you are exchanging a huge amount there are no good rates. If I want to exchange €2500 I’m literally loosing approx €85 because of these unfair fx rates!
Sharing my user experience @MashreqTweets as a 1 year business customer I have the worst exchange rates in UAE While the market is 4.28 (lowest) as a neo biz user I need the exchange at rate 4.12 (EUR/AED). Which means a simple exchange will cost you like €100 at Mashreq
@MashreqTweets Today is almost over again.. if you are not able to provide a fair rate please just let me know.. I am waiting till Friday for a feedback
My experience with @MashreqTweets it’s 5th day on X team says this will be solved, I still see the worst rate when i try to exchange eur/aed. No one reaching out, no solution, the only solution is to pay 100€ more than the market standart to exchange currency.. I’m dissapointed
@MashreqTweets And another day passed… I really need someone at Mashreq contact me and provide a solution to this matter. Since 4 days I am waiting to understand why my exchange rate is so low? Dear @MashreqTweets please provide assistance
Yes I’m continuing sharing my experience at @MashreqTweets . Currency exchange is way below market standards, there is no where you can see the rates before making transaction. Since Friday I’m trying to get assistance. Just asking who would accept to exchange 0.2 below market?
@MashreqTweets I am waiting since Friday, i need to exchange to make payments. Currently if I exchange eur/aed for 2500eur I loose 85eur.. that is the difference between the lowest rate in uae and the rate in my mashreq account. I think this is a major issue to be fixed..
The CEO of Take-Two, the company behind GTA, just said something the entire AI industry doesn't want to hear.
And he said it without being anti-AI.
Strauss Zelnick's argument is precise. AI is built on datasets. Datasets are backward-looking. Creativity is forward-looking. A model trained on everything that already exists cannot, by definition, produce something genuinely unexpected. And all hits, by their very nature, are unexpected.
Asset creation and hit creation are not the same thing. AI is getting very good at the first one. The second one is what actually makes money, builds franchises, and changes culture. Nobody has shown AI can do that yet.
The derivative property problem is real. You can clone GTA with existing technology. You could do it before AI. It would take 3 years and look identical. It still wouldn't sell. Because it isn't GTA. It's a clone of GTA.
And consumers, despite what the industry occasionally pretends, can feel the difference between something genuinely new and something assembled from the residue of things that already worked.
Thousands of mobile games ship every year. 0 to 5 hits get made. The same studios make them every time. The technology to make more games has been commoditized for years. It didn't democratize hit creation. It just flooded the market with more forgettable product.
The Silicon Valley thesis that AI unlocks game creation for everyone is true in the same way that cheap cameras unlocked filmmaking for everyone. They did. And the same 5 studios still make the movies everyone watches.
What Zelnick is saying, without quite saying it, is that the thing AI cannot replicate is taste. The instinct for what hasn't been done yet. The cultural antenna that detects the gap in the market before the data can see it.
Data tells you what people wanted. Hits tell people what they want next.
Those are different jobs.
@MashreqTweets How long does it take you think? Since couple of days i’m waiting to see if i can have a fair exchange rate at mashreq with my neo biz account? If not possible please tell me, if possible please provide a fair fx code matching market standards.
Do you know the current exchange rate EU/AED is 4.14 in @MashreqNeo@MashreqTweets where every other open source the worst spread is 4.3. Probably worst rate in UAE. Mashreq never discloses exchange rate anywhere on website or app or dashboard. I’m frustrated!
@MashreqTweets Noody dares to call me or email me.. so far to my experience the only way to exchange currency at a neo biz account is to accept the lowest rates below market standarts.. zero response
@MashreqTweets I have already contacted customer service about this, they refuse to provide any fair rate. i have asked them would you exchange eur aed for 4.13 when market low is 4.30 if it was your money, they don’t have an answer.
