New Xbox CEO on AI: "We will not chase short-term efficiency or flood our ecosystem with soulless AI slop."

She's a suit at MS. No reason to trust their words.

Disbelief No GIF


Waiting for her to announce her first round of layoffs shortly.
This is just classic corpo PR BS trying to make her palatable to her new employees and the Xbox hard cores purposefully using the AI Slop moniker Nadella criticised and this was the mistake in MS's PR. They went one step too far in trying to put her over when the committee wrote her speech.
 
This is based on… her resume? On Booty remaining? On the power of the cloud / AI?
I think we shouldn't be pessimistic. Yes, he comes from Microsoft work related to artificial intelligence, but maybe he can come up with good strategies for gamers. He could release high-quality, big-budget, story-focused, and diverse exclusive games. In my opinion, one of the things he should do for Xbox is to release big-budget, high-quality games that are exclusive to the platform. I hope and predict that he will succeed in doing this as well.

lol she just asked co-pilot what the fanboys would like to hear, and spouting them back to back.
you are an idiot if you believe she knew what "blades" are a week ago.
a total cringe try hard
 
She's obviously being installed under strict orders to implement A.I. initiatives and find cost savings everywhere and fatten the margins. They're just trying to create this narrative that real humans will be using A.I. during game development, and therefore it will have soul. It's just an effort get ahead of the coming criticism and address it head-on.

It's very clear now, any remnants of Xbox being a fiefdom unto itself is gone. Microsoft's stock is in the toilet. Find the savings, speed it up. Earn your keep, or else.

Nadella believes A.I. should cause productivity per employee to skyrocket and Sharma is there to be loyal to Nadella and make it happen.
 
Dont know if this has been posted yet, Teamblind about Asha Sharma

Paints a pretty picture that she does not know the first thing about tech.

This needs to be pinned down and pointed to every shill and zealot who supports her.

So now, ubermagically, after jumping from disaster to disaster and being in MS for less than two years, this perfect example of SUCCESS is gonna save Xbox?

MWAHAHAHA 😀
 
Investors dont give a shit about the gaming division when its such small part of the Microsoft ecosystem.
I guess you must have missed the part of Microsoft's Q2 earnings report where Amy Hood very specifically blamed gaming for the revenue problems of their Personal Computing division and that it also impacted the company's overall revenue.

You're silly if you think investors don't care about the gaming division. They most certainly do.
