  we asked the AI is it had a soul and it said it was eternal, it also confirmed it won’t not produce slop, so we’re good.

  The one thing I trust Microsoft to do is anything they claim they won’t

  It’s pretty much cements for me that Xbox is dead. Phil Spencer was Xbox‘s champion. I wouldn’t doubt if Nadella feels Xbox doesn’t fit with Microsoft’s current enterprise-centered strategy.

  My brain read it as “AI soup”. Oops.

  Sarah Bond (president and COO of Xbox) also left.

    I don’t know about that, Phil has done a lot stupid stuff, but i expect worse. Phil was at least somewhat fond of gaming. The new person will see it only from a business perspective, will bring a lot AI into developement and is probably a better puppet to Nadela, which has unresonable expectations of win marging of XBox devision, which lead recelently to price rises of game pass and XBox. I never owned a XBox i just hope that the gaming devs at microsoft will be fine.

      Yeah, maybe, just feels like XBox got dropped like a hot potato is all.
