NEW: EA CEO Andrew Wilson was paid $30.5 million in cash and stock this past year, up about $5m from a year ago

Since the U.S. requires companies to compare CEO pay to employee pay, I made an EA pay chart

To make it work, I had to make it VERY TALL

Take a look: www.gamefile.news/p/ea-ceo-and...
EA CEO’s pay is up, as EA worker median income drops
Behold, the tallest chart in Game File history. PLUS: EA execs were paid (a little) more for boosting generative AI

i shit you not, i just looked this up: Twitch Plays Pokemon got the second badge in about 50 hours
Imagine outsourcing all your thinking to a guy who still only has two Pokémon badges after 80 hours of gameplay.

The Wikimedia Foundation, which owns Wikipedia, says its bandwidth costs have gone up 50% since Jan 2024 — a rise they attribute to AI crawlers.

AI companies are killing the open web by stealing visitors from the sources of information and making them pay for the privilege

News: I’m hiring two freelance writers to put together Video Games Industry Memo while I’m away on book leave in the summer.

Full details of what I’m looking for are contained in the image below and at the top of this week’s VGIM.

And to make it totally clear: this is a paid opportunity 💰

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Cryptobros learning about the necessity of regulation gotta be my favorite genre
I’m not sure people quite grasp how much of the crypto world is reacting to the Trump memecoin launches.

People believe all kinds of bullshit conspiracies but the actual conspiracy to cook the planet for profit is somehow not getting as much traction as some weird shit about cyanide in fruit or seed oils or whatever.

‘We will add even more bots’ is the “”””bold””””” and “””””innovative”””” tech industry at its most unhinged
Meta confirms they plan to add tons of AI-generated users to Facebook and Instagram

They will have bios, profile pics and can share content

Ga voor je keuze staan en zeg gewoon eerlijk: 'Ja, we bezuinigen op onderwijs omdat we het veel belangrijker vinden dat grootvervuilers en aandeelhouders niet worden gepakt.'

Onderwijs is het fundament van onze samenleving. Deze bezuinigen zijn een historische vergissing.

Elden Ring multiplayer game coming out the same year as a Horizon multiplayer is so funny. From will not let that franchise have a moment of peace.

8 skeets en een hoop handjes in waterbakken om uit te leggen dat je voor bezuiningen op onderwijs stemt
We zien het als onze taak om constructief bij te dragen aan het oplossen van problemen. Dat doen we in het belang van een sterke samenleving.

Als CDA blijven we ons inzetten voor goed onderwijs als basis voor een fatsoenlijk land. 8/8

Can't wait to talk to a JJR Tolkien AI that doesn't know how many Rs there are in Strawberry. We should also stop asking executives for their 'ideas' in AI and just ask them what they could actually do with it right know cuz sure as shit they don't know

'a filmmakers sounding board'

Looks like a stock footage repository that ignores physics and burns down half a rainforest to make a 'rain drop into pond' 15 sec clip. Absolute clown shit.

Videos generated by Sora, OpenAI's powerful video creation tool, regularly seem to have problems handling basic physics. Objects appear and disappear, particularly when something else moves in front of them.

For now, it imagines the tool not as a filmmaker but as a filmmaker's sounding board.
With OpenAI's Sora, the AI video flood is here
The tool will offer a mass-scale test of how we handle photorealistic but fake video.
