That's what happen when you treat art as a mere commodity and put tasteless fraudsters at the highest ranks
I find it funny (and interesting at the same time) that the US, despite its massive ressources, never managed to replicate Hollywood's success in video games
And i'm not talking just about commercial success (they already pale in comparison), i'm taling about the blockbusters, the masterpieces, the things that combine technical prowess, artistic ambition and global cultural influence
Where is the Hollywood of video games?
Why was Elden Ring made in Japan?
It's similar with anime vs cartoons, there are some deep existential stakes at play for the west

There is no such thing as "standard pricing" for products with different performance profiles, architectures, inference costs and infrastructure stack
It is price fixing, nothing else

This tells you that China:
1. is no longer a threat for the US
2. no longer has (perhaps never had), the lead
3. was forced to bow down because has no leverage
The US still chooses what customers China has access to
Re:I Quit OpenAI Because Its Culture Is Broken
on Sunday October 04, 2026 @07:37AM (#49952988)
I had this thought a while ago, the more complex the systems get, the more reliant on "smart" people powerful institutions will become
And the less their input is valued, the less that pool of smart individual will want to participate
So powerful institutions will end up relying more and more on having to trust these automated systems that they can't fully understand
It'll lead to a inevitable catastrophe, call it apocalypse if you will

> This has spooked Sony into pulling its new titles from Steam - they don't want people buying an Xbox to play Spider-Man games
That's not what happened, Sony's decision is more about the poor saels of its single player titles on Steam, they are now focusing their PC releases for online multiplayer games instead
Microsoft sells less consoles each month than the previous gen Nintendo Switch sells today
A lot of publishers are skipping Xbox, citing not enough players/sales
They have nothing to worry about Xbox

Re:Animation in Bevy: The Big Picture
on Wednesday September 09, 2026 @03:19AM (#49622528)
Most games require more than just a basic animation player, they have their animation tied to gameplay/input systems, you want a full blown animation timeline system, so you can play specific events (vfx, cancel windows) at specific frames
That's something most game frameworks don't provide as a first class, gameplay oriented systems
Re:Mistral raises €3B
on Tuesday September 08, 2026 @11:40AM (#49611955)
You are conflating two separate events:
-2013 DRM/always online drama (reversed pre launch)
-2023 shutdown of its physical release division, which is what triggered shift to digital only titles we are seeing now
Different year, different mechanism, different reception and different press coverage
Re:Mistral raises €3B

One is american, the other is european
It's the same with gaming
When Microsoft is killing physical in 2023 to push for Gamepass and digital only, it's labeled as "progress and infrastructure planning", when it's Sony that does it, it's labeled as "greed and anti consumerism"
Hopefully more people get attentive to how the industry & the media works, and how US Big Tech manages to kill any form of alternative

Re:Nvidia agrees to acquire Hugging Face for $13B

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Market_foreclosure
This acquisition should be blocked (and never will sadly), they now have both the incentive and the ability to influence a platform that's supposed to be hardware agnostic (and built trust over that) toward CUDA stack
Microsoft did the exact same with github, acquired stack agnostic platform, and turned it into a copilot/azure one

Re:Stripe Clinches over $7B Deal to Buy AI Firm OpenRouter
on Monday August 17, 2026 @09:41AM (#49330691)
I'm not a OpenRouter user, but if i were, i'd move away from it
This is what i hate about modern entrepreneurship, everything is always built for a short term plan
Family businesses where tradition, trust, values and reputation are kept and transmitted across generations don't exist in tech and it's just sad
It's just build fast, milk users, cash out, and move on
No loyalty, no pride in the work, and zero respect for the people who actually supported you
And actually, it's a defensive move from Stripe, because OpenRouter was quietly becoming the way AI agents pay each other in USDC via x402, and Stripe probably saw this as a threat, specially with OpenAI already moving away from Stripe
They'll nerf you, to protect themselves, they'll make you dependent on their merchant system for the juicy fees

The whole point of turning intelligence into a commodity is to drive its price down, not up
They are hoarding HW at massive scale, they make it harder and more expensive to own
Just because you are fine with the new price doesn't mean it's not a problem
