not sure it would be all that interesting.   

top leadership makes an obviously dumb-AF decision chasing trends.  all of the people that actually contribute to the world told them it was a dumb decision but leadership ignored them giving them condescending lectures about needing to "get with the team or get out".  years later when the dumb decision is a massive failure the leadership that drove the business into the ground is rewarded with golden parachute and actual contributors get fired.

pretty standard corporate business.

"Sony's Bend studio, which canceled a live-service game earlier this year, is laying off 30% of staff today (around 40 people), Bloomberg News has learned. The studio has been spinning up a new project following the cancellation."

Quote from: Legend on Jun 10, 2025, 04:27 PMI don't know specifically what my brother has, but he can't do stuff with his one shoulder either. But I think in his case it's more that the shoulder dislocates.



A one handed pull up would be pretty dang impressive.
i forget what my doctor's diagnosis was.   it was some stupidly obscure thing and he wasn't' certain i even had it.  the end result is:
- a shoulder socket is supposted to be round.   mine isn't.
- a collar bone i suppose to be "straight".  mine is hooked

the affect on my as a person is my shoulder molbility is about half what it is suppose to be.  if i lift my arm forward to be even with my shoulder my arm bone is touching my collar bone and thus i can't lift any higher.

the doctor said regardless of why there was only one treatment: shatter all of the bones in my shoulder and hope he can reform it in a better shape.  he gave 50/50 odds of getting better or worse.   i was 17 when i got diagnosted and i totally noped out of that.   i was like,.. if it took you guys 17 years to even realize i was malformed i think i'm doing okay thank you very much.

...but in retrospect it made a few things in my childhood make a lot of sense.   my middle school gym teacher had terrible things to say about me.   apparently the reason i couldn't manage even 1 pull-up was because i was a piece of shame kid.

Sweet, 1X is going for a similar approach as Tesla.

And it's just so sci fi to see their bot in homes.
