Two new MVC members announced


Recommended Posts

I don't actually "help" anyone hence the lack of MVC, if I posted 43k posts in software or hardware helping people I would probably be one by now...all I do is keep the media section going ;)

How does that not help the media nutters?

A board is dead without content to discuss :p

I think as long as someones posts are typically of a high standard putting that much time into a board/section ain't a bad shout for a "repsected" status. On the other hand about 16,000 of my posts are probably 'GH politics' :laugh:

... :|

Sethos, you usually have one of the best sarcasm detectors.... :rofl:

With your dedication to the Media postings I would say you deserve MVC. You should have got one a long time ago in my opinion.

Should be a new type of member, "Masters of sections" :D Hum for new, Rappy for media, and the gamers can fight it out between themselves :laugh:

Good idea. Who's going to host the Quake III server for the GH masters?

Copying and pasting does not deserve accreditation.

While I do somewhat agree that copying and pasting doesn't deserve accreditation. Hum does pretty much what Rappy does (finding news) and has a section named after him. I'm not hating on Hum or anything, it's just Rappy spends time finding news/updates/etc. He deserves some kind of recognition and a lot of people would agree. Even if Rappy isn't one of them :)

That is all the other MVC's do. They copy information from other sources, compile it (in their brains!) in to something meaningful and then dish it out as necessary to be helpful. The difference is Rappy gives you the information before you ask for it / knew it was available whilst the other MVC's hold the knowledge and wait for someone who needs it before giving it out.

Rappy deserves MVC as much as anyone else.

Hum doesn't have a section named after him. It's a coincidence.

Hum in this case refers to chatter, chit chat, etc..

i would Lulz if Rappy became MVC because of this, also don't take away the celebration from the people who did get it

It's not a coincidence. I remember when it was named. lol

There was even a poll as to what it should be named if I remember correctly.

No he didn't change his name. the posts are there because it was named something else prior to that, therefor there are older posts in the section.

And congrats to the new members of the MVC group.

I'm totally floored.. thanks so much for this guys. Something I would never have expected at all!

I look forward to getting more involved with Neowin and trying to become an even more useful contributor :)

Funny, that badge looks like it was already supposed to be there. :)

Hello,

I am not really sure what to say (still in shock, I suppose), so I would just like to thank all of you your kind words and Neowin for the recognition.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
