188 sb bet365 Elon Musk has announced plans to form a video game studio within X’s (Twitter) AI division. On the social media platform, Dogecoin creator Billy Markus opined about “how game developers and game journalism got so ideologically captured.” In response, Musk said “Too many game studios that are owned by massive corporations. xAI is going to start an AI game studio to make games great again!” Too many game studios that are owned by massive corporations. @xAI is going to start an AI game studio to make games great again! https://t.co/UR4nFODyfd — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 27, 2024 Of course, this comment is immensely hypocritical, as Musk is the world’s richest man who owns some of the world’s most massive corporations. What’s more, whatever issues you might have with games, AI will certainly not replace the many talented developers who are creating great art . (This is all assuming, of course, that the xAI game studio actually happens, which, given Musk’s many lies and failures , certainly isn’t a given.) But what’s especially funny about Musk wanting to step into game development is that he’s already been roasted multiple times for trying to act cool simply by playing games. In 2022, he boastfully shared an Elden Ring build that was objectively terrible , and more recently, he’s tried to proclaim himself as one of the best Diablo IV players in the world . That latter point is especially amusing — either he’s an even more irresponsible leader and parent than we thought and he’s neglecting his many businesses and children for a lot of classic Diablo grinding, or (more realistically) he got others to use his account and boost his rankings for him. Either way, it’s pretty pathetic, but that’s par for the course with Musk. And what started this whole conversation was another classic — and profoundly stupid — battle in the never-ending “culture war.” It started when Asmongold, a YouTuber best known for having a filthy room , cried about Avowed , the latest game from Xbox-owned Obsidian Entertainment, allowing you to choose your pronouns in the character creator. (The horror!) Naturally, this led to the likes of Mark “Grummz” Kern — a disgraced former game developer and failed instigator of ‘GamerGate 2’ — and Musk getting angry on social media about this completely innocuous feature. i find this tweet hilarious because in the screenshots they’re talking about how they will not buy avowed because it has pronouns. and suddenly when the art director responds with “ok fuck you then” they’re clutching their pearls. pic.twitter.com/z9UDVmOOnA — kate bush’s husband (@airbagged) November 27, 2024 In response, Matt Hansen, the art director on Avowed , posted on Bluesky that he was happy to have angered Musk over this. He went on to encourage more Black artists to apply to Obsidian and that they will “always” have his priority as there are “too many crusty old white dudes” in games. Naturally, this led grifter Ian Miles Cheong to make baseless claims that “Microsoft’s gaming division is excluding whites from being hired to work on their video games. Musk then shared Cheong’s ridiculous assertion and tagged Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, claiming “this is illegal.” Of course, even if you think Hansen’s comments were incendiary, the fact of the matter is all of these grifters are blatantly lying about Microsoft and Obsidian over those comments. It’s yet another example of Musk — a person with over 200 million followers — amplifying misinformation on his platform. And above all else, none of these clowns have even played Avowed . As someone who actually went to Obsidian recently to both play a few hours of the game and talk to several developers (including Hansen, who was delightful), I can tell you it’s a very promising fantasy action-RPG. ( Other previews have echoed this , and for completely non-ideological reasons!) But of course, those gosh-darned pronouns are so scary and dangerous to these grown men that they’ll write off an entire artistic work because of them. For anyone who isn’t a hate-filled manchild, though, you can look forward to Avowed when it launches on Xbox Series X/S and PC (plus Game Pass) on February 18th.

Arsenal, known for their defensive frailties in recent seasons, identified a solid center-back as a priority target. Talks were advanced, and it appeared that a deal was close to being finalized. Yet, just when it seemed like the club had finally found the solution to their defensive woes, complications arose, leading to the collapse of the transfer. The missed opportunity to bolster the defense left Arsenal vulnerable at the back, a weakness that opponents would surely look to exploit in the upcoming campaign.In the fast-paced world of business and technology, every word spoken by industry leaders carries weight and significance.

Provident Bancorp, Inc. Adopts Stock Repurchase ProgramNEW YORK, Dec. 06, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- WHY: Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of common stock of Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG) between February 8, 2024 and October 29, 2024, both dates inclusive (the “Class Period”) and those who purchased Chipotle call options or sold put options during the Class Period, of the important January 10, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline in the securities class action first filed by the Firm. SO WHAT: If you purchased Chipotle securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Chipotle class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=30587 or call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than January 10, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants throughout the Class Period made materially false and/or misleading statements and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Chipotle’s portion sizes were inconsistent and left many customers dissatisfied with the Company’s offerings; (2) in order to address the issue and retain customer loyalty, Chipotle would have to ensure more generous portion sizes, which would increase cost of sales; and (3) as a result, defendants’ statements about its business, operations, and prospects were materially false and misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all times. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Chipotle class action, go to https://rosenlegal.com/submit-form/?case_id=30587 call Phillip Kim, Esq. toll-free at 866-767-3653 or email case@rosenlegal.com for information on the class action. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor’s ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff.

Login or signup to continue reading Mission Australia's 2024 Youth Survey Report has revealed the issues plaguing older teenagers, including mental health , violence and housing. From 213 responses in Newcastle and the Hunter, cost of living rated as by far the biggest issue at 60 per cent - five per cent higher than the state-wide response, and 35 per cent were extremely or very concerned. This is despite 95 per cent of local respondents living with parents or guardians. Mission Australia state director NSW Di Kapera said that like many in the community, young people were feeling the impact of inflation and the high cost of housing. "It's distressing that there are families across NSW struggling to pay their rent and afford necessities like groceries," Ms Kapera said. It is the first time cost of living was the issue young people in NSW considered most important in Australia, an increase of more than 20 percentage points on the previous year. Mental health was ranked as the Hunter's second biggest issue at 20 per cent, followed by violence, safety and crime at 15 per cent and housing and homelessness at 14 per cent. Less of the region's youths planned to complete year 12 than the state average, with 72 per cent compared to 92 per cent. More than half of the respondents from the Hunter (59 per cent) also planned to get an apprenticeship, compared to 16 per cent across NSW. Conversely, 18 per cent of Hunter youths had plans to attend university, which shot up to 60 per cent for the state average. Less than half of the young people from the Hunter said they were happy or very happy with their life as a whole, with 53 per cent saying they were either sad/very sad or neither happy not sad. Ms Kapera said she believed the federal government needed to raise income support payments, including Jobseeker and Youth Allowance and lift Commonwealth Rent Assistance to help young people and families. "Continued investment in social and affordable housing, including youth specific options such as youth foyers will also help young people who are navigating an increasingly unaffordable rental market," she said.

NEW HOPE, Pa. (AP) — Dayle Haddon, an actor, activist and trail-blazing former “Sports Illustrated” model who pushed back against age discrimination by re-entering the industry as a widow, has died in a Pennsylvania home from what authorities believe was carbon monoxide poisoning. Authorities in Bucks County found Haddon, 76, dead in a second-floor bedroom Friday morning after emergency dispatchers were notified about a person unconscious at the Solebury Township home. A 76-year-old man police later identified as Walter J. Blucas of Erie was hospitalized in critical condition. Responders detected a high level of carbon monoxide in the property and township police said Saturday that investigators determined that “a faulty flue and exhaust pipe on a gas heating system caused the carbon monoxide leak.” Two medics were taken to a hospital for carbon monoxide exposure and a police officer was treated at the scene. American actress and former model Dayle Haddon arrives for the screening “Where the truth lies” directed by Canadian director Atom Egoyan, at the 58th international Cannes film festival, southern France, Friday, May 13, 2005. As a model, Haddon appeared on the covers of Vogue, Cosmopolitan, Elle and Esquire in the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the 1973 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. She also appeared in about two dozen films from the 1970s to 1990s, according to IMDb.com , including 1994’s “Bullets Over Broadway,” starring John Cusack. Haddon left modelling after giving birth to her daughter, Ryan, in the mid-1970s, but then had to re-enter the workforce after her husband’s 1991 death. This time she found the modelling industry far less friendly: “They said to me, ‘At 38, you’re not viable,’” Haddon told The New York Times in 2003. Working a menial job at an advertising agency, Haddon began reaching out to cosmetic companies, telling them there was a growing market to sell beauty products to aging baby boomers. She eventually landed a contract with Clairol, followed by Estée Lauder and then L’Oreal, for which she promoted the company’s anti-aging products for more than a decade. She also hosted beauty segments for CBS’s “The Early Show.” “I kept modelling, but in a different way,” she told The Times, “I became a spokesperson for my age.” In 2008, Haddon founded WomenOne, an organization aimed at advancing educational opportunities for girls and women in marginalized communities, including Rwanda, Haiti and Jordan.’ Haddon was born in Montreal and began modelling as a teenager to pay for ballet classes — she began her career with the Canadian ballet company Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, according to her website . Haddon’s daughter, Ryan, said in a social media post that her mother was “everyone’s greatest champion. An inspiration to many.” “A pure heart. A rich inner life. Touching so many lives. A life well lived. Rest in Light, Mom,” she said.In goal, Hiller selected Palmer, whose outstanding reflexes and shot-stopping abilities were instrumental in securing a clean sheet for his team. The goalkeeper's decisive interventions and commanding presence provided a solid foundation for his side to build upon throughout the match.

In the case of "GTA 6," Rockstar Games has an opportunity to set a new standard for LGBT+ representation in video games. By encouraging the game's scriptwriter to handle LGBT+ content with care and avoid being too crude, the developer is sending a clear message that inclusivity and respect should be top priorities in the creation of interactive entertainment.
