I thought clanker and slop was very clever, cogsucker is 🧑‍🍳 💋

A little unfair to Microslop, I’m pretty sure all tech companies have that goal now.

And then there is Facebook, who is sitting in the corner saying “amateurs”

The diversity of the human mind is truly the most wonderful and terrifying thing about our species.

That’s different though,

Both gotcha games and loot boxes start with the user wanting to use money to get items. The chance factor is just there to mask the cost since the user might just get a rare on their first try.

My point was gambling to win money isn’t like normal addiction cause you already start with what you want.

I guess it just taps into greed and the desire to always have more? Why spend the $1000 when that can become $2000? Wonder if gambling is more of a problem in our capitalistic system as we are all trained to be as greedy as possible.

I never understood how people can enjoy gambling or be addicted to it.

Yeah I get that it’s exciting, but spending money on actual goods and services can be exciting too.

If you find gambling using a $1000 exciting, wouldn’t using that $1000 on other things be even more exciting?

Winning money is only fun because said money can be used for fun. It wouldn’t really be a problem if it was points instead of currency. If what gives gambling its excitement is spending your winnings, just spend money from the get go.

Idk, I just don’t get it.

What I want to know, is that are they just charging closer to the real cost or the actual real cost.

Chances are they would want to slowly increase the price à la boiling frog method.

And once that happens, then they have to increase it again to make profit, AND that has to measure up against regular ways of making money so it can’t just be barely profitable.

It’s a long road ahead for them

Not only that, it’s basically eating all the resources that could go into making AGI.

There is nooooo way for companies to invest in actual innovation when they are throwing everything at this dead end.

What surprises me in all this is that multi billion dollar gaming companies never even considered intervening given how this can easily affect their bottom line.

We joke about companies being okay with everything being B2B but some industries will completely die if consumer spending collapses.

Would be nice if all their selfishness sometimes meant fighting for the consumer they make all their money from.

It really bugged me until I realize it basically means 919 euros AND 0 cents.

Whereas in North America we basically would say $919.99 meaning $919 dollars and 99% of a dollar.

Last week, the platform announced a new feature in which premium users will be allowed to create their own, AI-generated remixes and song covers using music from participating artists.

Can’t understand why anyone would want that.

If you want more music, then listen to new stuff, doesn’t Spotify have like almost all music ever created?

Also, ironically piracy doesn’t have this problem, torrents might end up being the most reliable way to get non slop content.

Tbf there is a solution to this and you can use it in Spider-Man 2 (the recent one).

He uses his web on the ground, pulls, then uses that to jump up with lots of horizontal speed.

He then uses a jump suite to glide long distances

This is a lesson I learned during COVID.

People’s stances are highly correlated with what makes them money.

That tells me that we will never have an honest society until you don’t have to constantly worry about making a living,

Whenever I see articles like this I think,

That’s awesome, man I wish I had time to do that.

Would this not make the dice much harder to have a balanced weight?

There is no way the internal battery is symmetrical in every direction.

I like how the shampoo stands out like a sore thumb

My point was that having a verifier means your not really training a model on another model’s data, it’s basically as if you get new raw data from a non AI source

Our key finding is that by injecting information through an external synthetic data verifier, whether a human or a better model, synthetic retraining will not cause model collapse.

Yeah if you have a source of truth then your model is basically getting trained on that.

It’s like already having the answer

Seriously, given how interconnected all these conflicts are, I’m convinced we are in WWIII,

No one said it has to have more deaths than the last one to be considered a world war

Uhhhh, does your couch have a rooster pattern?

No one is pointing out the other side of this that gets neglected and that is “the demand to live just outside the core but commute to the core daily”.

That just does not work, full stop. There was a time that it seemed to work but we already reached the capacity.

Even if we have great transportation, having people move so much on a daily basis is a bad idea.

We really need to move away from the one big city mindset, but it’s not easy to do
