When they say lawyers and recruiters we have to understand there will still be lawyers and recruiters but the vast majority of the heavy lifting will be done by AI powered systems. There will be a profound impact on industries without destroying them completely.

Nice to see this FUD debunked. A Steam console would be interesting but as I said yesterday the margins on hardware are so thin that I cant see it makes business sense. Steamdeck works because you can sell it to PC gamers. It is not trying to replace their current rigs!
Thank you... we've done pre-release Mesa Vulkan work on every AMD architecture since Vega thanks to them kindly providing hardware, so there's nothing meaningful to read into there.
Sorry but no Valve are not working on an AMD RDNA4 Steam Console despite rumours

Star Wars is a mess. They need someone with a vision to recognise that this universe is a sandbox of elements which can be used to tell any story they want. If I had to bet id say at least one of these projects will never see the light of day. #Starwars
