Any new appointments would have to go through congressional approval. Of course they could potentially get rubber stamped by the Republican controlled Senate, but they are losing support of some of the Republicans in the Senate so it’s not a guarantee right now. I believe Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) have both stated publicly that they will block any appointments to the Federal Reserve so I can see them or others potentially doing the same for other appointments. This being an election year probably has a lot of them considering how they can save face for what they’ve let occur over the last year. I’m still making a lot of assumptions so who knows what would happen.










While we don’t do game development, my company has investigated using gen ai for code and we found that it doesn’t reliably assist us in anything other than boilerplate code. I personally found that it hallucinates APIs on the regular which made it a massive waste for me as I basically had to go back and rewrite most of the code myself. Using gen ai for code reminded me of every time I’ve worked at a company that outsourced code; we rarely ever got what we asked for and by the time we got something usable it still wouldn’t be up to our standards, which generally resulted in scrapping what was delivered and having to rewrite the whole thing internally.
