UPDATE: I'm staying on Twitter just out of sheer morbid curiosity to see how much sh*t hits the fan before our inevitable nuclear/climate armageddon!

SONY PATCHED THE PS5 IN 2 DAYS. HACKERS BROKE IT AGAIN IN 8 HOURS.
Today’s PS5 firmware update, version 14.20, is already compromised. A hacker known as master_s9 just showed off an exploit for the brand-new firmware.
The timeline:
→ An exploit was demonstrated on firmware 14.10
→ Sony rushed out 14.20 two days later and closed the hole
→ Hackers cracked the new version in just 8 hours
Sony is clearly trying to patch vulnerabilities fast. It didn’t matter.
Every locked-down console eventually gets opened. The only question is how long Sony’s security can hold, and right now the answer is less than a day.
EA IN A NUTSHELL:
KILLED MASS EFFECT.
KILLED DRAGON AGE.
KILLED DEAD SPACE.
KILLED MEDAL OF HONOR.
KILLED NEED FOR SPEED.
KILLED BURNOUT.
KILLED TITANFALL.
KILLED MIRROR’S EDGE.
KILLED ANTHEM.
KILLED SPORE.
KILLED SSX.
KILLED ARMY OF TWO.
KILLED SIMCITY.
KILLED COMMAND & CONQUER.
if you doomscroll twitter all day of course it looks like the world is ending but if you just get off the internet and go outside you’ll find that the world is actually ending oh god this is it
What’s the the endgame? If the plan ends with a ruined planet, collapsed economies, and no working class left to spend money. What are billionaires actually hoarding wealth for? To sit in a bunker with numbers on a screen that don't mean anything anymore? what is the point?
Go outside. there’s ai posters and graphics. Talk to someone. They talk about how much they love ai like it’s a friend. Go to job. You have to use ai or you’re fired. Go to park. New data centre being built there.
Thanks to you guys we’re still able to hire real artists and make real art and don’t have to deal with all the generative ai bs other companies are pushing. I’ve literally seen so many companies around me, including places i used to work at, go broke because clients just stopped giving them work due to ai. It’s heartbreaking to me… So being able to stay afloat is huge, and it’s honestly only possible because you guys choose real art over gen ai. I wish we can keep doing this forever.
I’m starting to think the Mayans weren’t predicting the end of the world in 2012. They were just warning us that everything afterward would be incredibly fucking stupid.
