But the logo is upside down and it’s purple which is the (basic) opposite of the colour/yellow which are rec room colours, and since every dev is posting it does that mean rec room is actually shutting down in June?

Wasn’t it 10m for first last time between the team?
main dust
Wasn’t it 10m for first last time between the team?
It was 40 million tokens spread out altogether. And that's like 20, 25 grand. You'd probably cost them about. 80k to do a contest. Who to be honest is not that much For a company that's worth three billion dollars That also got funded 100 million dollars 4 years ago.
But that's just my opinion.
Rec room has the money and the staff.
fervent tinsel
Regardless of the rewards, the people running the contest need to still get paid for their work, (and it is a lot of planning and management) adding to costs

It just takes a lot of time to put together.

It gets more people to create, usually brings more people to the platform. Also contests and how they run contests Make rec room more Unique

I agree with 2 of these, but it costs rec room more money than they get from it. It brings some players, but prize money alone last contact was at least $40,000. On top of that, they need to pay staff and stuff for the extra work.
I wish there would be a contest, but it’s not realistic for them to host one anytime soon.
main dust
I agree with 2 of these, but it costs rec room more money than they get from it....
I agree with what you're saying. But then on the other hand, is bringing more people to the platform. And encouraging people to create on the platform. My opinion Way more beneficial than losing 80 grand or so Also, It can encourage investors to either put in more money into rec room or attract more investors. Cuz having a bunch of unique ideas like Rec room does have I feel like it's really beneficial. To the long-term rec room.
But another thing is I think Rec Room should start focusing a bit more on their creators And adding more tools for builders because right now they're mainly focusing on cv2 on the creation aspect

I mean, on paper yeah, but it only brings people to contest; they don’t really stay afterwords, and if they do, they just don’t create.

Did you know that generating an image using AI consumes the same amount of energy as charging a phone to full power? AI requires a staggering amount of energy. According to Lead The Change, “training a single large AI model can generate as much carbon emissions as five cars in their lifetime.” One of the major contributing factors to the environmental impacts of generative AI is the electrical demands of data centers. This is concerning as large data centers already consume up to 5 million gallons of water per day to cool their systems. This is equivalent to a town that is populated by up to 50,000 people.
Artificial Intelligence has made one of the most vast technological achievements of the 21st century, that I cannot deny. Unfortunately, it is far more expensive, scary, and destructive than most believe. As stated by artificial intelligence company, OpenAI, users send about 2.5 billion prompts per day to ChatGPT. This simple fact may seem insignificant, but by no surprise, it isn’t. Reportedly, “each prompt uses an estimated 0.34 watts of electricity.” That is enough electricity to power a LED lightbulb for about two minutes. Daily, the number rises up to about 6.8 watt-hours per person. With over 100 million users per day, 680,800 kilowatt-hours are generated. This is comparable to the electricity consumption of more than 22,000 households.
Although AI is reportedly “stepping up to protect the environment,” it is also a part of the main problem. As stated by Clean Hub, “AI is a double-edged sword.” It has the capability of tracking and preventing deforestation, but is also the cause of toxic electronic waste. “But wait, AI is tracking air pollution!” The infrastructure for AI is one of the many causes of air pollution. It may help find certain solutions, but what is the point if AI itself is the issue? The development of AI has always had severe impacts on the environment, no matter the motive.
