What is your favorite corner of the internet?

That rare, quiet part of the internet that actually makes you smarter without making you feel behind. For me, it’s a mix.

LinkedIn surprised me. I used to think of it as stiff and self-promotional, but it’s become where I exchange ideas with people wrestling with the same big questions: What’s AI doing to journalism? What’s worth building?

[X] is still very relevant for everything related to AI news. It’s where I get pulled into weird, fascinating rabbit holes. Someone posts a half-broken agent demo or a wild paper, and suddenly I have 12 tabs open. It’s chaotic in the best way.

That seemed like a good place to stop reading this article or anything he has to say haha.

Well, perhaps I’m just wrong then. But for me, I see twenty tears of MS buying up studios, sitting on them, and closing them with some sort of excuse about changed plans. It’s always the same though, studio performs well, gets bought, makes no games or games out of their genre, and closes. Call it whatever you want, I call it business as usual.

It’s how these large corporations operate though. Ignore, buy, or bury, that’s how they all operate. They may have ‘plans’ to use the studio, but for them if all they get are the assets and a less of a threat from the old ip, then that’s enough. I don’t think it makes any sense either, but it also absolutely something microsoft has done for years in their larger business model.

They know exactly what they are doing, they are reducing competition.
