Have you guys ever read about the world's best beer: Westvleteren 12? I read that St. Bernardus Abt 12 should taste about the same.

I have been trying to find something meaningful to say about the Id Software layoffs. My “Microsoft will probably be a good steward of the brand” statement isn’t aging well, and this is certainly going to dampen the mood of the founder reunion at QuakeCon next month. I’m saddened, but I can’t muster anger or outrage over it. I don’t have access to the books, but I suspect that Id Software was a marginal business from Microsoft’s perspective. I believe the reports that Minecraft revenues have been carrying several other studios. To continue being produced long term, games need to succeed, not just be beloved. Games are competing with every other option for spending your leisure time and money, and the competition is brutal. You can’t rule out the possibility that executives are idiots, but that shouldn’t be your default belief. I don’t think there is any obvious path that would have doubled the revenue from Id games. Could they have gotten more with a different pricing strategy? Could they have created more things for fans to buy? Could they have cost effectively marketed in a way that reached more players that would have loved and bought the games? Could they have changed the game designs and broadened the appeal to more players without alienating existing ones? Could they have produced the games at a lower cost, faster or cheaper? I really don’t know. The game isn’t over yet, and I hope the studio rallies through.

@Sal_Camara Not for a while, no. I don't think they have a good way into autonomous driving market yet.

@Sal_Camara @nvidia My mistake, you were asking my thoughts on: "Once AI starts just writing byte code, and we accept that, what’s when we give it life." Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr computers are pretty cool!

@Sal_Camara @nvidia Oh, yeah, did you know that they used to have a thing for XR? nvidia.com/en-us/design-v… I guess they more or less abandoned it.

@Sal_Camara @nvidia Attending several talks by them at CVPR was humbling and terrifying. The talks reminded me of how behind I am when it comes to keeping up with where the tech is. Like, they are using simulated space to train models for autonomous driving.
