@AutismCapital I'm honestly not even sure there's a real mob. Probably just a million bots and a handful of dummies who let them influence them and join in. Such a large group of people can't be that dense, right? Right?

Digital Foundry was super excited about the DLSS 5 announcement (because it was awesome) so they published a "FIRST LOOK" showing it off and praising it. Then the angry anti-AI mob came for them and ripped them apart and they got bullied into backpedalling.
"We should have waited before posting our first round of coverage. We should have waited to see reactions from the audience."
Translation: "We should have waited to see what the consensus mob opinion was before we posted our own individual thoughts."
This is the reason why games suck these days. The mob bullies people into groupthink. People get so scared of giving their take they wait until the "Consensus approved opinion™️" is formed before they speak.
Nobody wants to risk having the first/independent thought and risk being yelled at by the angry mob.
It's super unfortunate, and the backpedalling here makes it worse because it signals cowardice and the majority of the mob doesn't care anyways, they'll find a new thing to hate.

@MikhailaFuller It's a bitch. Been suffering for three years. Thanks for bringing light to the condition.

Akathisia is caused by psych med withdrawal but is also a side effect from a number of pharmaceuticals, not just withdrawal. Hell. The fact this fairly common reaction is hidden by pharmaceutical companies and renamed things like “restlessness” is criminal.

1/ TW ⚠️ One of my goals for 2026 is to raise more awareness about akathisia. Seeing as it’s one of the most severe side effects of psychiatric medications and withdrawal, it’s strange that so few prominent psychiatrists and institutions on this platform discuss it 🧵

@samhall404 I'm three years in, unfortunately. But I've been managing. I'm mostly just extremely happy to see someone talking about it. Thanks for posting.

@Pirat_Nation So would Activision be shut down in this situation? How do you go in and out yourself through all of the bs of buying them just to shut it down? Microsoft sucks so hard.

@koltregaskes @AndrewCurran_ The pot is a toilet. Either do business or get out of the way for an AI service provider who will.

@60Minutes I noticed you didn't play the part of the video trump showed where a stadium full of people were chanting "Kill the Boer, kill the farmer."
English

In May, Pres. Trump said “over a thousand” White farmers have been murdered in South Africa. He showed a video of what he said were crosses marking their burial sites. But when 60 Minutes traveled to the site, the crosses were gone. Anderson Cooper tracked down the farmer who placed them there. cbsn.ws/4saHoxT

It’s rare in life to know when a chapter is closing, but after 38 years at Microsoft, that moment has arrived for me. I’ve made the decision to retire and begin the next chapter of my life. It’s a milestone that’s given me a chance to reflect on the incredible journey I’ve been fortunate enough to share with so many of you.
