Lots of bad information out there --let's clear it up. • Recent workforce changes were made to restructure the XBOX business because it is not healthy. They were not made to replace employees with foreign workers. • The H-1B figures being referenced are Microsoft-wide visa renewals and new hire applications. They are not specific to XBOX and represent a small percentage of Microsoft's overall workforce. And the majority of roles impacted were not American roles. • XBOX is the largest employer of American workers in the gaming industry and the largest American gaming company. • And Asha is an American born, raised, and educated CEO, from Wisconsin.

Xbox CEO Asha Sharma has been appointed as an advisor to the US Federal Reserve's Productivity and Jobs task force The task force will "assess the economic impact of new general-purpose technologies, including artificial intelligence"

AI may move to directly generating binary code, but I suspect there are still advantages to reasoning in a different representation. Textual code is a flattening of an abstract syntax tree, and while LLMs produce tokens linearly, the prior context is only linearly connected by the relationship of the position embeddings, so I wonder if they could work more effectively if the position embeddings directly represented tree structures. Code could be “parsed” into the context instead of directly entered into it.

Hey Everyone. Our aim is to ship Early Access for UE6 by the end of 2027 and Blueprints will be supported in Early Access and the initial UE6 releases, but deprecated in the future. Deprecation will mean a feature continues to be available without improvements, then is eventually removed. This timeline will be clearly communicated along with ways to migrate projects to Verse. We recognize the value that Blueprints brought to UE4 and 5, but we strongly believe that Verse will become a more powerful and capable way to create game logic. We’ve already seen both experienced and new programmers create amazing things with Verse that would be challenging to do with Blueprints. More details and conversations from us around this to come as UE6 Early Access approaches.
