Imagine closing your entire consumer memory division because this guy signed a non binding letter that he would buy 40% of the world’s RAM.

Only to have him rug pull 3 months later.

It's still cold in Sofia but trees said fk it, we're going to blossom now. So the city looks spectacular and smells like the best honey you've ever seen ☺️

Don't forget to touch grass or maybe some flowers too, dudes and dudettes!

Crimson Desert and Slay the Spire 2 are still the best selling paid games of the week. Kind reminder that media believed Crimson Desert is aiming for a failure.

Tim Sweeney accidentally fired terminally ill worker who's plan was to die anyway but he lost insurance and his wife had to ask for help. Since it's seemingly impossible to get any new insurance if you're dying.

Tim said he was unaware due to medical confidentiality and now will provide the support and insurance. And the medical condition (since it was not disclosed) was not a factor for layoff.

Valve once faced the same issue in 2004. The writer Erik Wolpaw (Psychonauts (2005), Half-Life 2: Episode One (2006), Portal (2007), Portal 2 (2011) and Half-Life: Alyx (2020)) tried to quit his job due to severe medical terms, but Gabe listened to him and changed his job description to "Get better" and told him that his job now is to go to his wife, spend time with family and get better. And he got!

The biggest AI drama so far: Anthropic accidentally uploaded Claude into public storage. Thousands of people tried to simply re-upload it and faced DMCA strikes.

One mad mind at 4 AM woke up and used Codex AI to rewrite the whole thing into Python and then Rust. The outcome made by another AI is not technically the same as Claude Code itself. So the company struggles to take it down.

Critics hated the new Super Mario Galaxy Movie. Now let's wait and see how it gets $207m during the first week in cinemas and solid retention on the second one.

Oracle is cutting up to 30,000 employees to pay for AI data centres... And it started with a 6 AM email.

Employees across the US, India, Canada, and Mexico woke up on 31 March to termination emails from β€œOracle Leadership” with no prior warning. TD Cowen estimates the cuts will affect 18% of Oracle’s 162,000-person workforce and free up $8-10 billion to fund AI infrastructure. Oracle has not confirmed the total number.

Phil Spencer is coming back to Xbox. His role will be to find every single device that can be your Xbox since you apparently have no real Xbox.

- It's almost like launching Doom on every device possible but this time we're launching doom upon ourselves, you know? - said Mr. Spencer

And Nintendo's controversial patent is no longer valid. They have some time to appeal but I assume they will not get it anyway.

For context: they are not the authors of the idea, the gameplay feature has been used before them. This case is so bad that it caused changes in the patent office itself.
