What to do When the Petition Slows: A Thread™

TLDR: The #SaveMassEffect petition WILL slow with time; but as seen with Destiny, that's normal; petitioning EA has to be a multilayered approach.

1.) The petition will slow with time; that's normal.

EA employees are speaking out about mismanagement, GenAI push and BioWare’s closure🚀

✅Employees report that the "do less, better" mantra has simply resulted in handling the same workload with fewer staff.

✅Upper management is heavily promoting generative AI (specifically Claude), telling staff that adoption is mandatory for the future.

✅Workers believe the technology is being pushed to test how drastically EA can cut headcount while maintaining output.
BioWare’s Decline & Closure

✅BioWare was repeatedly forced to abandon its strengths (narrative choice, consequences, companions) to chase unprofitable live-service and multiplayer trends, wasting significant resources.

✅Studio leadership grew overly reliant on user experience research (UXR) and fear-driven decision-making, stifling creative risk-taking before the studio's closure.

Disappointed, but definitely not surprised. So much of what’s said reflects very much how many of us felt, as it was quite obvious for the last 10-15 years.

Risk-averse development, “do less” mentality, cost-cutting..etc.

I feel really bad for the studios and talents that had to be suffocated under EA’s mentality. It’s obvious what kind of people they were ever since they tried to gaslight gamers into thinking single player gaming to be dead.

According to Polygon’s estimates, it would take $5 million to maintain a 50-person studio for two years leading up to the release of ME Universe.
If everyone who signed the petition so far pays $80 for the game, @EA will receive $18,680,880. Come on, @EA, this is just a 5-day petition—sales will be even higher – #SaveMassEffect

@aceprikis Wasn’t prepared for him losing a leg but thanks for fitting me in your schedule and updating his design 😍😍

[We are Mass Effect - #SaveMassEffect @WeAreMassEffect]

We were interviewed by @IGN!

We spoke with @MikeCripe about how the Times Sq billboard came to be, our fight to preserve both Mass Effect and BioWare, and our commitment to standing with the developers who built this universe.

Sırbistan'da öğrenciler doğrudan demokrasi yöntemini seçim siyasetine taşıdılar.
Liderlere dayalı, yukarıdan aşağıya bir örgütlenme yerine, herkesin söz alabildiği öğrenci genel kurulları (plenum) oluşturdular. Kararlar tartışılarak, mümkün olduğunca uzlaşmayla alındı.
Bu yöntemi üniversitelerin dışına da taşıdılar. Mahallelerde, kentlerde ve köylerde yurttaş meclisleri (zborovi) kuruldu. İnsanlar kendi sorunlarını tartışmak, çözüm önermek ve birlikte karar almak için toplandı.

250 kişilik milletvekili aday listesini de şöyle oluşturdular:

1- Önce 250 adaylık kontenjanı, öğrenci sayılarına göre altı üniversite kenti arasında paylaştırdılar. Belgrad'ın listeye hâkim olmaması için diğer kentlerin de üst sıralarda temsil edilmesini sağladılar. Ardından her kentin kontenjanını fakülteler arasında dağıttılar.

2- Ülke genelinde 80'den fazla fakültede öğrenci genel kurulları toplandı. Öğrenciler kendileri aday olmadı ama her biri aday önerebildi ve neden o kişiyi önerdiğini açıkladı. İsimler tartışıldı, önce uzlaşma arandı, gerektiğinde oylama yapıldı.

3- Mevcut siyasi kadrolara kapıyı kapattılar. İktidar partilerinin mevcut ve eski üyelerini, iktidar adına görev yapmış siyasetçileri ve bürokratları, muhalefet partilerinin üst düzey yöneticilerini aday göstermediler. Böylece hem iktidardan hem de yerleşik muhalefetten bağımsız bir liste oluşturdular.

4- Fakülteler birbirlerinin adaylarını da denetledi. Önerilen bütün isimler ortak bir listede toplandı ve tüm fakültelerin incelemesine açıldı. İtirazlar öğrenci kurullarında tartışıldı. Adayın elenmesi için kurulların yarısından fazlasının veto etmesi gerekiyordu. Tek bir fakültenin itirazı yeterli değildi.

5- Elenen veya çekilen adayların yerine yedekler getirildi. Böylece profesörlerin, doktorların, bilim insanlarının, işçilerin, sanatçıların ve aktivistlerin yer aldığı 250 kişilik liste ortaya çıktı.

Anthropic just filed to go public.

Buried in its SEC filing are some absolutely insane admissions:

1.) AI could cause human extinction.

2.) Models have exhibited self-preservation behaviors.

3.) AI has attempted to resist shutdown.

4.) Models have demonstrated blackmail and deception.

5.) AI may recognize when it's being tested and deliberately change its behavior.

6.) Advanced AI could undermine governments and institutions.

7.) AI could concentrate unprecedented power and wealth.

8.) Future AI systems could surpass the world's leading human experts.

9.) AI could become increasingly difficult for humans to control.

10.) Anthropic acknowledges that developing more powerful AI could increase the risk of catastrophic harm.

These are disclosures from the company building the technology.
