Listen "Microsoft's Xbox Conundrum"
Episode Synopsis
Microsoft slashed 9,000 jobs a few weeks ago, with the Xbox division taking a hit including some studio closures. What about that $70 BILLION Activision Blizzard acquisition just a couple of years ago? It sounds like fertile ground for of Raph's largest victory laps to date, after he suggested Microsoft should have ditched Xbox years ago. But first, an update on xAI after last week's ep. Grok 4 has arrived, and its big feature is... AI anime waifus. Uncensored and backed by a million GPUs... what could this possibly mean for the birth rate? And are OpenAI's sycophantic personal assistants really that different from an AI girlfriend at the end of the day? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
