With Sony abandoning its chase of easy PC dollars, the megalithic Japanese company instead seems intent on maximizing its dollars at home, and reasonably so. While reporting indicates PlayStation's PC sales were stymied by staggered and unpredictable releases, that was already obvious. What's less clear is how Sony's pursuit of profit might affect the status quo, with a lawsuit in the UK over PSN monopolization and blatant A/B testing for dynamic digital pricing happening right before our eyes. What does the future hold as we begin to move towards next-gen? Plus: EA lays off members of the Battlefield team that created America's best-selling game in 2025, Nagoshi Studio and its Yakuza-like title Gang of Dragon are in big trouble, a LEGO PlayStation (1) console is seemingly en route for the holiday season, adventure classics Myst and Riven are PS5-bound, Crimson Desert finally emerges on PS5 Pro, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! With id finding so much success with the revived Doom trilogy, could Quake be next? What was the deal with that cryptic Bluepoint Tweet from 2019, anyway? Are physical-only players being hurt by the underproduction of copies of big games? Is Dustin intentionally making mistakes in his edits to sabotage our entire operation?

From Sony's dynamic pricing drama to Xbox's Project Helix and a heated console‑war showdown, The Game Deflators tackle the week's biggest gaming battles. This week on The Game Deflators, John and Ryan bring a mix of pickups, industry news, rumors, and retro gaming heat. The episode kicks off with recent game pickups and collectible finds, including some unexpected retro scores and additions to the shelf. From there, the guys dive into their current gaming sessions, sharing progress updates and the titles that have been dominating their playtime. The conversation shifts into Lego and gaming crossovers, including the newly surfaced Mario miniature and the rumored Lego PlayStation 1 set that has collectors buzzing. Whether it's legit or just another internet fever dream, the guys break down why this rumor has so much traction. Next, the crew turns to Microsoft's next‑generation Xbox initiative, Project Helix. Rather than dissecting technical specs, John and Ryan focus on the broader implications — how Helix fits into Microsoft's evolving ecosystem strategy, what it signals for the future of Xbox hardware, and why the industry is paying close attention. That naturally leads into a spirited discussion on the Console Wars, comparing the shifting dynamics between Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam. With each platform carving out a different identity, the guys explore where the competition is heating up and where the lines are starting to blur. The episode then pivots to Sony's newly uncovered dynamic pricing tests, where PlayStation Store users across multiple regions are seeing different prices for the same games. The hosts unpack what this A/B testing could mean for digital storefronts, consumer trust, and the future of game pricing. Finally, the Inflation Deflation Challenge returns with a look at Cool Spot, the 7UP mascot platformer that's equal parts nostalgia and oddity. John and Ryan revisit the game's charm, gameplay, and current market value to determine whether this retro collectible is inflating or deflating in today's market. 00:00 Intro 02:28 Recent Game Pickups and Collectibles 12:11 Current Gaming Sessions and Progress 17:52 Lego and Gaming Updates: Mario Miniature and LEgo PS1 27:15 Microsoft's Next Generation Xbox Insights 30:09 The Console Wars: Xbox vs. PlayStation vs. Steam 35:24 Sony Dynamic Pricing in Gaming: A New Approach 49:35 Inflation Deflation Challenge: Cool Spot Review Find us on TheGameDeflators.com Twitter - www.twitter.com/GameDeflators Facebook - www.facebook.com/TheGameDeflators Instagram - www.instagram.com/thegamedeflators The views and opinions expressed on this channel are solely those of the author.

There's kind of a mountain of hardware news from the last week, so we're rounding it up this week, starting with Microsoft's Project Helix (a.k.a. the next Xbox), interrogating what exactly that box is going to look like inside and out, how much machine learning is going to factor in, and more. There's also the tiny, cheap MacBook Neo (and a surprising theory about future tiny iPhones), Intel's refreshed Arrow Lake CPUs, upscaling improvements on PS5 Pro (and Sony's anything-goes history of system settings), DLSS 4.5, Valve's continued supply-chain struggles, and more. That's a lot of podcast!

On this episode of Latinos Out Loud, @RachelLaLoca chats with Jaine Lee Ortiz and Bevin Bru; the two Latina leads of the new ABC show RJ Decker. Jaina plays Emilia “Emi” Ochoa and Bevin plays Detective Melody “Mel” Abreu, and they discuss their unique characters, and what they'd like us the viewers to take away from their performances, and interesting insight on the state of representation in Hollywood. ABOUT JAINA Jaina recently wrapped the Sony action feature “Archangel,” opposite Jim Caviezel, Garret Dillahunt and Shea Wigham. Her breakout role was Detective Annalise Villa in the hit Fox series ”Rosewood.” She was later hand-picked by Shonda Rhimes to lead the ABC drama series, “Station 19” for an impressive seven-season run. Additional television credits include the USA series “Shooter” and Amazon's “The After.” Ortiz can most recently be seen in the independent feature, “The Long Game,” alongside Dennis Quaid and Jay Hernandez. It premiered at the SXSW Film Festival, where it received the Narrative Spotlight Audience Award. Cast and filmmakers were then invited by President Biden to screen the film at the White House in advance of its release. A proud Puerto Rican American from the Boogie Down Bronx, Ortiz devotes much of her time supporting the Latin community. She was asked personally by Chief Justice Sonia Sotomayor to voice her audiobook, “The Beloved World of Sonia Sotomayor.” ABOUT BEVIN Cuban American actress, writer and producer Bevin Bru continues to solidify her place as one of Hollywood's rising talents. Best known for her breakout role as Angelique Martin in Season 2 of The CW's hit series “Batwoman,” Bru is currently starring this season on ABC's highly anticipated drama “R.J. Decker” as Detective Melody “Mel” Abreu. Born and raised in Miami, Florida, Bru discovered her passion for acting at a young age. She later moved to New York City to study at AMDA before relocating to Los Angeles to pursue her career. ABOUT THE SHOW Written by Rob Doherty (“Elementary”) and starring Scott Speedman, RJ Decker is a former newspaper photographer and ex-con who starts over as a private investigator in the colorful-if-crime-filled world of South Florida. The series follows him tackling cases ranging from slightly odd to outright bizarre with the help of his journalist ex, her police detective wife and a shadowy woman from his past who could be his greatest ally … or his one-way ticket back to prison.Inspired by Carl Hiaasen's novel “Double Whammy,” “RJ Decker” is produced by 20th Television. Rob Doherty serves as showrunner, writer and executive producer. Carl Hiaasen, Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman are executive producers, Paul McGuigan directs and executive produces, and Scott Speedman is a producer. Release Date: March 3, 2026Network/Platform: ABC (Linear) and Hulu (Streaming)Showtime: 10:00 PM EST

Xbox may have just signaled the future of its next generation hardware. At GDC this week Microsoft confirmed Project Helix, a next-generation Xbox initiative built around a custom AMD chip and designed to support both console and PC gaming. But what exactly is Helix — a traditional console successor or something closer to a living-room gaming PC? This week on Xbox Expansion Pass, Luke Lohr (InsipidGhost) and Captain Logun break down everything currently confirmed about Project Helix and what it could mean for the future of the Xbox ecosystem. We also analyze the early player numbers behind Bungie's Marathon, including Steam concurrency and early ownership estimates, and discuss whether the launch trajectory raises questions for Sony's live-service strategy. Plus, Epic Games is changing Fortnite's V-Bucks economy, meaning players will soon receive fewer V-Bucks for the same money. Additional topics include Xbox Gaming Copilot coming to consoles, a major milestone for Silent Hill 2 Remake, and several notable announcements coming out of GDC 2026.

Wenn sie dabei Mammuts begegnen, dann nicht, weil die Maschine falsch kalibriert war, sondern weil sich Ubisoft in einem Open-World-Spiel weit in die Vergangenheit gewagt hatte (2016). Weiter zurück auf dem Heft-Zeitstrahl werden Strategen sowohl aus dem Tolkien- als auch aus dem Star-Wars-Lager glücklich gemacht (2006) – und apropos, wenig später (bzw. 10 Jahre früher) erwartet uns auch eine Begegnung mit Mark Hamill (1996). Im Bonus-Segment für Patreon-Unterstützer steuern wir zusätzlich das Jahr 1986 an und sinnieren da über alternative Lebensläufe. Doch zuvor wertschätzen die Veteranen, was die Gegenwart zu bieten hat: News, Hörerpost und aktuelle Spielerlebnisse, bei denen sich auch Stephan Freundorfer zu Wort meldet.

Twenty-five years of sworn defense. Testimony at the 2005 criminal trial. A memoir declaring innocence. Oprah appearances attacking other accusers. Now the Cascio family—all five siblings—has filed a federal lawsuit alleging Michael Jackson drugged, raped, and trafficked them starting when some were as young as seven. This Hidden Killers Week In Review breaks down the credibility collision that could reshape the Jackson legacy.The Jackson estate is calling it a $200 million extortion scheme. The Cascios already received a settlement reportedly worth over $3 million after "Leaving Neverland" aired—then allegedly came back demanding $213 million more. The estate's attorney Marty Singer points to emails where the Cascio legal team allegedly threatened to leak allegations right as Sony was finalizing a $600 million catalog deal.The Cascios say they were coerced into that 2019 settlement while still processing trauma. They claim watching Wade Robson and James Safechuck finally made them discuss their experiences and discover they had all been abused.Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to examine the legal landscape. How does 25 years of defense testimony affect credibility? What does it take to void a settlement you already collected on? Why does the estate want private arbitration so badly? What does the federal trafficking statute actually require?There's the fake tracks scandal—brother Eddie sold songs that the Jackson family says weren't Michael's voice. Sony removed them in 2022.And the attorney flip: Mark Geragos defended Jackson in 2003, called "Leaving Neverland" an "absolute travesty" in 2021, and now represents the Cascios arguing Jackson was guilty.Michael Jackson was acquitted in 2005 and denied all allegations. His estate continues to deny them.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
The Cascio family spent 25 years as Michael Jackson's most vocal defenders. They attacked other accusers. They called themselves his "second family." Frank Cascio declared on Oprah and in his memoir that Jackson's love for children was innocent. Now all five siblings claim Jackson trafficked and sexually abused them starting when some were as young as seven. This Hidden Killers Week In Review examines the legal collision that's testing the limits of credibility and timing.The Jackson estate calls this extortion. The Cascios signed a settlement in 2019—reportedly $690,000 per sibling per year for five years—that included confidentiality, non-disparagement, and mandatory arbitration clauses. They collected on it. Now they're trying to void that agreement, claiming it was signed under duress without proper legal counsel.A hearing will determine whether this case goes to public trial or disappears into private arbitration. The estate wants it sealed. The Cascio lawyers say that's "an illegal tactic to silence victims."Former felony prosecutor Eric Faddis joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to break down both sides. How devastating is decades of sworn defense testimony? What does it take to void a settlement you already collected? What does the federal trafficking statute actually require to prove?Then there's the fake tracks scandal. Brother Eddie sold songs to the estate that the Jackson family says weren't Michael's voice. Sony removed them in 2022. And the Cascios' attorney is Mark Geragos—who defended Jackson in 2003 and called "Leaving Neverland" an "absolute travesty" in 2021.

In this episode, Chris Cochrane dives into Apple’s $599 MacBook Neo – the cheapest Mac laptop ever made – and whether it spells trouble for Chromebook makers. He also covers Samsung’s CEO blaming AI for rising phone prices, Framework raising RAM prices for the third time in three months, Meta unveiling four custom AI chips, NVIDIA’s GTC 2026 conference preview, a billion-dollar bet against large language models, Microsoft’s game-changing Project Helix Xbox with native Steam support, Windows 11’s new Xbox Mode, and SpaceX gearing up for a critical Starship Flight 12 test. – Want to start a podcast?

Like and Follow Geek News Central’s Facebook Page. Support my Show Sponsor: Best Godaddy Promo Codes Get 1Password Apple MacBook Neo The lead story covers Apple’s MacBook Neo. It launched at $599 and marks the cheapest Mac laptop ever made. The device runs on the A18 Pro chip from the iPhone 16 Pro. Cochrane notes a solid market for students, casual users, and anyone who needs a reliable home laptop. However, he advises photographers and videographers to invest in a MacBook Air or Pro instead. The real question remains whether this kills Chromebook sales in education. Samsung CEO Blames AI for Price Hikes Cochrane tackles Samsung’s Galaxy S26 price increases. CEO TM Roh blamed AI infrastructure demand for the hikes. Meanwhile, DDR4 DRAM prices surged sevenfold in a single year. Cochrane points out the irony. Samsung manufactures memory chips, shifted production toward AI data centers, and now cites that same shortage to justify higher consumer prices. He calls the situation “a little shady” but appreciates the transparency. Framework RAM Prices Up Again The RAM crisis extends beyond phones. Framework raised RAM prices for the third consecutive time in three months. Cochrane reinforces advice from a recent episode. He urges listeners to buy now before prices climb further. Analysts project peak prices by mid-2026. The shortage could last through late 2027. Sponsor: GoDaddy Economy hosting $6.99/month, WordPress hosting $12.99/month, domains $11.99.

The company aims to reduce its dependence on NVIDIA by building custom silicon. The MTIA 300 is already in production. New generations will ship every six months through 2027. The chips are built on open-source RISC-V architecture and manufactured by TSMC. NVIDIA GTC 2026 Preview NVIDIA’s GTC conference starts Monday in San Jose. Jensen Huang promises “chips the world has never seen.” Rumored architectures include Rubin Ultra and Feynman. The keynote streams free at nvidia.com on Monday at 11am Pacific. Cochrane notes that while companies like Meta are building chips to escape NVIDIA, competition will eventually catch up. Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs Raises $1.03 Billion Former Meta AI chief Yann LeCun raised $1.03 billion for AMI Labs at a $3.5 billion valuation. It marks the largest European seed round in history for a company just four months old. LeCun is building “world models” that learn from physical reality rather than text. Backers include Jeff Bezos, NVIDIA, and Samsung. Cochrane notes both approaches to AI can coexist. Microsoft Project Helix Microsoft revealed Project Helix at GDC 2026. For the first time, an Xbox will natively support Steam and GOG. Cochrane sees it as both desperate and inevitable. The only reason to buy from the Xbox store would be exclusives. He notes this is a breath of fresh air after months of talk that the Xbox era was ending. Dev kits ship in 2027 with a consumer launch likely late 2027 or 2028. Windows 11 Xbox Mode Microsoft is rolling out Xbox Mode to all Windows 11 PCs in April. The full-screen controller-optimized interface works with Steam, Epic, and Battle.net. Cochrane sees it as the first half of Microsoft’s two-phase gaming strategy. Xbox Mode trains users now. Project Helix delivers dedicated hardware later. He asks whether Sony and Nintendo will follow in Xbox’s footsteps. SpaceX Starship Flight 12 SpaceX announced stacking complete for the next Super Heavy booster at Starbase. Flight 12 targets April and debuts V3 hardware with Raptor 3 engines. Orbital refueling remains the critical unknown for NASA’s Artemis III moon landing. SpaceX has a track record of delivering eventually, just never on Elon’s original timeline. The post Is the MacBook Neo a Chromebook Killer? #1860 appeared first on Geek News Central.

This week, the boys headed to 1970 to the new decade of the new wave of American independent cinema! Bob Rafelson's “Five Easy Pieces” established the behavior-driven, theme-over-plot indie movies that paved the way for the best era for indies. Jack Nicholson is a badass (asshole) prodigy-turned-roustabout looking to find himself in people he's willing to screw over in Bob Rafelson's seminal movie. After John fires off some mini-reviews and news, we set up the film year of 1970 before we drink beers and try to keep our conversation positive! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page!

This Day in Legal History: SCOTUS ImpeachmentOn March 12, 1804, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to impeach Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase. Chase, a Federalist appointed to the Court in 1796, had become a controversial figure during a period of intense political division between the Federalists and the Democratic-Republicans. Members of Congress accused him of allowing his political views to influence his conduct on the bench. Much of the criticism focused on Chase's behavior during trials brought under the Alien and Sedition Acts, where he was alleged to have treated defendants and their lawyers unfairly. The House approved several articles of impeachment claiming that Chase's courtroom conduct showed bias and undermined the impartial administration of justice.The impeachment moved to the Senate for trial in early 1805, with Vice President Aaron Burr presiding over the proceedings. After weeks of arguments and testimony, the Senate failed to reach the two-thirds majority required for conviction on any article. As a result, Chase was acquitted and remained on the Supreme Court until his death in 1811. The outcome established an important precedent about the limits of impeachment as a tool against federal judges. Although Congress has the constitutional authority to impeach judges, the Chase trial suggested that impeachment should not be used simply because legislators disagree with a judge's legal or political views.In the years that followed, the case came to symbolize a commitment to judicial independence within the federal system. By declining to remove Chase from office, the Senate reinforced the idea that judges should be protected from political retaliation for their rulings. The episode remains the only time a sitting Supreme Court justice has ever been impeached by the House of Representatives. Today, the Chase impeachment is often cited in discussions about the balance between judicial accountability and the need for an independent judiciary.A federal antitrust case against Live Nation Entertainment has stalled as negotiations over a proposed settlement continue and several states resist the deal. The lawsuit, brought by the U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division and numerous state attorneys general, alleges that Live Nation used monopolistic practices to dominate the live concert industry after acquiring Ticketmaster in 2010. During a recent court hearing, Arun Subramanian criticized both sides for failing to notify him earlier that settlement discussions were underway. He said the parties waited until just before trial to reveal that negotiations were close to completion, which he suggested was improper conduct.The proposed settlement would require Live Nation to allow competitors to sell tickets at some of its venues, limit certain ticket service fees to 15%, sell control of at least 13 amphitheaters, and loosen exclusivity arrangements. The company would also create a settlement fund exceeding $280 million to resolve state claims. However, attorneys general from many of the states involved have objected because the agreement does not require Live Nation to divest Ticketmaster. More than two dozen states have asked the court to declare a mistrial and restart proceedings later, though others support or are still evaluating the settlement.Judge Subramanian has not yet ruled on the mistrial request and instead urged the parties to continue negotiations immediately at the courthouse. He indicated that if a broader agreement cannot be reached soon, the court will determine the next procedural step. Live Nation maintains that the industry remains competitive and argues that the plaintiffs have selectively used data to support their allegations. The dispute highlights the complexity of resolving large antitrust cases involving both federal and state enforcement authorities.Judge Fumes As Live Nation Antitrust Trial Remains In Limbo - Law360ExxonMobil has announced plans to move its legal incorporation from New Jersey to Texas, citing the state's increasingly business-friendly legal environment. In a proxy statement to shareholders, the company explained that most of its senior leadership and corporate functions have already been located in Texas for decades, making the change largely formal rather than operational. Executives said Texas offers a more predictable, statute-based framework for corporate governance and regulation.A major factor behind the move is the creation of the Texas Business Court in 2024. Exxon also pointed to recent updates to the Texas Business Organizations Code that clarify standards for corporate decision-making and director conduct. Company leadership believes these reforms create a legal climate that supports economic growth and shareholder value.Exxon joins other companies that have relocated their corporate domicile to Texas, including Tesla and Coinbase. State officials have promoted these moves as evidence that Texas is becoming a strong alternative to traditional corporate hubs such as Delaware. Recent reforms include legislation codifying the Business Judgment Rule, which limits liability for corporate directors unless misconduct like fraud is proven.Texas has also launched broader initiatives to attract corporations, including approval for the upcoming Texas Stock Exchange, expected to begin operations in 2026. Supporters argue these efforts strengthen the state's reputation as a center for corporate formation and governance. Exxon's relocation reflects this broader trend of companies seeking jurisdictions with legal systems designed to favor corporate decision-making and reduce litigation risk.ExxonMobil Plans Move To Texas, Citing Biz-Friendly Milieu - Law360ExxonMobil Board unanimously recommends redomiciling the company from New Jersey to TexasMillions of PlayStation users have begun a major antitrust class action in the United Kingdom against Sony Interactive Entertainment, seeking about £5 billion in damages. The case is being heard before the Competition Appeal Tribunal and is expected to last around ten weeks. The lawsuit is led by consumer advocate Alex Neill, who represents millions of PlayStation customers.The claim alleges that Sony unlawfully controls the digital PlayStation ecosystem, limiting competition and forcing users to buy games and add-ons only through the company's online store. According to the plaintiffs, Sony pre-installs the PlayStation Store on its consoles and prevents users from installing alternative software or accessing other digital marketplaces. As a result, consumers allegedly become locked into Sony's platform and cannot shop for cheaper options. Lawyers for the consumers argue that these restrictions allow Sony to charge higher prices and maintain strong profit margins.A major issue in the case is how the relevant market should be defined. Sony plans to argue that its consoles and digital services operate as part of a single “systems market,” where hardware and software function as one integrated product. The plaintiffs disagree, claiming the console is only the initial purchase and that digital games and add-ons form separate “aftermarkets” where Sony exercises additional control. They argue consumers often cannot predict future costs for games or downloadable content when they buy the console, making them vulnerable to higher prices later.Sony is expected to argue that it simply created a platform that enables game publishers to sell products efficiently and that it is entitled to control access to its own storefront and intellectual property. The company maintains that these practices are legitimate business decisions rather than anticompetitive conduct. The tribunal will ultimately decide whether Sony's control of its platform amounts to unlawful market dominance under U.K. competition law.PlayStation Users Say Sony Made Them ‘Captives' In £5B Trial - Law360 UKPlayStation Officially Facing $2.7bn Lawsuit That Could Change It Forever This is a public episode.

Send a textPrices climb, hype fades, and the “console war” story we grew up with starts to feel like a rerun. We dig into why the battlefield is shifting from living rooms to ecosystems, and how a rumored Microsoft move—Project Helix—could reshape Xbox into something closer to a prebuilt PC with AI at its core. That sounds powerful, but not if the sticker reads four figures while Steam's handhelds and machines ship at a friendlier price and Sony keeps its place with focused hardware and polished franchises.We connect the dots from everyday tech frustration—the Nothing 4A skipping the U.S., Tubi feeling like the new UPN with too many ads—to the larger pattern: companies chasing margins, users chasing value. On the gaming side, Nvidia remains the engine under everything AI, which means RAM and GPU costs stay high and “consoles” start looking like workstations. If that's where Xbox heads, we see a future where Microsoft leans hard into software and services—Game Pass, cloud streaming, publishing across platforms—while hardware slowly steps off stage. Meanwhile, Steam's momentum and the rise of Linux-based gaming make PC-level flexibility feel easy enough for more players to try.We also talk practicality: parents won't buy $1,000 boxes, and many players are better off building a PC over time, owning their library, and keeping options open. Expect AI to become a built-in coach and tuner for players and a force-multiplier for developers. Expect more crossovers between handheld PCs, TVs, and laptops. And expect the winners to be the platforms that respect budgets, reduce friction, and make great games simple to play anywhere.If you care about where to put your money next—console, PC, or cloud—this breakdown helps you map the trade-offs and spot the real value. Subscribe, share with a friend who's weighing an upgrade, and drop your take: are you building a PC, sticking with a console, or going handheld next? https://www.carolinaotakus.com/

Kristian Harloff dives into the biggest entertainment headlines and what they mean for the future of movies, streaming, and the biggest franchises in pop culture. On today's episode, Kristian discusses new reports about Marvel Studios' Avengers: Doomsday and whether the highly anticipated MCU film will avoid becoming a massive cameo-fest. With fans expecting huge multiverse appearances and major character returns, the question is whether Marvel plans to keep the focus on story and core characters rather than endless surprise cameos. We also talk about James Cameron's Avatar franchise as the legendary filmmaker reveals that Avatar 4 is "very likely" as development continues on the future of the massive sci-fi saga. With Avatar 3 on the horizon and the long-term roadmap for Pandora expanding, Cameron's latest comments offer insight into how far the series could go. In classic action movie news, Sylvester Stallone is producing a new Rambo prequel, expanding the iconic action franchise that began with First Blood. What could this prequel explore about John Rambo's early life and military history, and how might Stallone remain involved with the project? Finally, we dive into the upcoming Spider-Noir live-action series, as the showrunner discusses the possible connection to the Spider-Verse and how the new show might fit into Sony's expanding Spider-Man universe. Could this series tie into the animated Spider-Verse films or stand as its own noir-inspired Marvel story?

On today's episode, Sam talks with Alice Xiang, global head of AI governance at Sony and lead research scientist for AI ethics at Sony AI, about what it actually takes to put responsible artificial intelligence into practice at scale. Alice shares how Sony moved early on AI ethics and why governance, not just principles, is now the real challenge as AI spreads across products and workflows. The conversation dives into FHIBE, Sony's publicly available and ethically sourced benchmark for evaluating bias in computer vision, and why measuring fairness is often harder than fixing it. Along the way, they tackle data consent, “data nihilism,” and the very real risks of deploying biased systems in everyday and high-stakes contexts. Read the episode transcript here. Guest bio: As the global head of AI governance at Sony, Alice Xiang leads the team guiding the establishment of AI governance policies and governance frameworks across the company's business units. She's also the lead research scientist for AI ethics at Sony AI, which is working on cutting-edge sociotechnical research to enable the development of more responsible AI solutions.

Reporting from this past week indicates Sony is abandoning its push to publish more games on PC, a reversal from a six-ish year old initiative that frankly bore little fruit outside of Helldivers 2. And let's be real: Though we were vocal advocates of this approach on the show, a vast majority of the PlayStation fanbase was decidedly not on board. Sony has apparently determined that it's a waste of time to further pursue this path, and that doing so could ultimately eat into their console ecosystem in unacceptable ways. Thus, it's time for many of you to celebrate, as we consider the reasons behind this dramatic course-correction. Plus: Rumors are circulating that Cory Barlog's next game is a God of War spin-off, Bluepoint was apparently eager to work on a Bloodborne remake before behing unceremoniously shut down, Starfield is finally coming to PlayStation 5 this April, Marathon has been mysteriously rated by the ESRB for launch on PlayStation 4, embattled free-to-play shooter Highguard is officially shutting down, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is Sony investing enough into games for kids? In such a hostile environment, could troubled products like No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 have launched and turned things around today? Why are some games' Trophies published, even if they go unreleased? Will Dustin continue to compile a collection of pictures of complete strangers on his refrigerator?
