@joecarlsonshow I think we can make the argument of cigarettes.
Research indicates that it’s extremely harmful especially to adolescent growth.
Therefore, children should not be able to have access until they’re 18.
You’re right it’s hard to regulate addictiveness but we don’t need to.
Ok this is fine. But can someone please reach out to the NBA2k team to add YaoMing as a special edition cover? It’s racist that a Chinese player has never been on the cover of NBA2k.
Dear Rivals!
We’ve seen the community’s feedback regarding today’s announcement of Storm’s most recent costume as well as the overall sentiment towards her cosmetic options. We hear your passion and want to share our plan going forward with the community:
1. We will be upgrading the Sacred Skies swimsuit costume to Legendary for free in the near future. This upgrade will include an all-new lobby animation and an updated MVP animation. The costume will still be sold at the current price of $16.
2. Players who purchase the costume will receive a free Ultimate effect upgrade.
3. We want to ensure the community that there will be more Storm Legendary tier Costumes coming, so please keep your eyes on the skies over the rest of the year.
While we deeply value the expressive nature of our players, our number one goal is to create a positive community for everyone who loves this game. And while we understand that tensions run high, harassment of our staff, including the development team and moderators, is not acceptable. As the upgrades will take some time, please be patient, as we are already hard at work on the above. Get ready for the Mistress of the Elements to reign over the battlefield soon. Ignite the battle!

Talk about a completely incompetent management team, no wonder the market is smoking this thing.
Meta at the core is consumer company and optimizes to reinvent product/itself rapidly. It prioritizes rapid testing to figure out right permutations to capture users.
AI / R&D relies on having a steady hand to plan in years to yield nonlinear fruit. Meta leadership is thrashing.
META IS AN ABSOLUTE MESS INSIDE RIGHT NOW
Wired just dropped an exclusive, and the details are wild.
This week someone interrupted a livestreamed Meta meeting, open to thousands of employees, with an expletive-filled rant about "being the company's bitch." They told the presenters to find a specific Meta AI executive and "tell him that he's a piece of shit."
A presenter covered their face with their hands. Employees in the chat called the start "spicy."
Here is what's behind it.
Meta's AI restructuring cut 8,000 jobs last month, 10% of the company. The same restructuring feeds a unit called Applied AI, where 6,500 engineers and product managers have been drafted in waves since April. There is no application process. You get selected, and your options are join or leave the company. Members call themselves "draftees."
The new job: writing puzzles and coding problems to train Meta's AI models, two tasks a week. People hired to build apps for billions of users now assemble training data for hundreds of AI scientists.
"It's literally the gulag," one employee told WIRED. "You have zero purpose in life all of a sudden, you barely interact with anyone, you just have these tasks every week."
Another: "Most people find the work soul-crushing."
At the same time, Meta started recording US employees' clicks and keystrokes to generate more AI training data. Over 1,600 employees signed a petition demanding it stop. The concession: employees can pause the tracking for up to 30 minutes.
Zuckerberg's response came in an internal memo Friday: "We've made mistakes and will almost certainly make more." He repeated his promise of no more mass layoffs this year. His fixes: limits on the manager ratios Meta had deliberately pushed to 50-to-1 on some teams, bigger budgets for team events, a hackathon next month, and assigned desks by the end of the year.
That same memo says Meta's north star is "to be the best place for the most talented people in the world to make an impact."
The most talented people in the world are writing puzzles for a model and asking permission to pause the keystroke logger.
META declined to comment.
