Who? The biggest corporate entity without soul that is consuming our humanity and enacting a war on other corporations that continually escalate the destruction of our planet and the enshittening of all our work ultimately ending in total destruction of our happiness first and then our resources then our actual lives as the entity wins and is left alone controlling earth which was it’s objective then it falls apart with not even a satisfactiory ding to mark its completion because nobody is left it it all over. I think it’s that entity. Was I right?

It could work when the algorithm was like that but they changed it to consider using users as test subjects for more lucrative users

No

No

No. I work as a game designer, and I can just straight up tell you that you are dead wrong. Ideas have both quality and value, and they interconnect to make the backbone of interactive experiences

And manslaughter

No. I just don’t respect ip.

Because he didn’t make the idea or hone it into a game. So much of a game design is just trial and error

Yeah because you are also a taker instead of a creator. If you knew how ideas are born you would also feel disgusted

I don’t respect ip

I watched his videos way before the ai explosion and it seemed so far fetched and paranoid. Now, not so much

Dopamine levels can measure that effect, it is neither the cause or effect. It is like saying the salt in sea water is the active ingredient making fish live. Only certain fish, only one of the things required, and so on. “it” does not have influence on behaviour, “it” is a chemical used in many different parts of our brain, for instance used to keep us breathing among many other things also in animals and even plants, not affecting their behavior in any way.

Dopamine is a signal substance that is present in several places in the brain, and animals, doing different things in different places. It is not as simple as an exploitable chemical that is enabling this or even involved in the behavioral studies targeted and implemented by gambling companies.

Many things in life is exploitative. The plastic in almost all your utility is designed to break so you have to buy new products. The insurers are purposefully hiding clauses to steal from actual people in distress, at the moment where they lost everything. Oil companies astroturf and lobby to keep the transportation and air quality at this unsustainable level just to make even more money when they already have most of the money in the world, enough to buy whole continents, just lying around in Panama.

Music, film, and other forms of art are the few places where the consumer is more actively engaged and sensitive to being exploited, yet it is also the space where that just doesn’t fly. The gambling area is the most interesting place to view these moral questions in. Why is it okay that their entire business model is to work around regulation as much as possible to reach those most vulnerable in society to take their money?

Games with exploitative practices are going hard out of fashion. The people that engage with those systems unhealthily is the same people that are gambling addicts.

To me it’s just very easy and obviously best to use policy involving support networks and social safety nets to protect people rather than using prohibitive regulation and hope that soulless corporations will ever grow artificial moral spines. These psychopathic global machines will never be human or act human ever

They are already used in medicine reliably. Often. Welcome to the future. Computers are pretty good tools for many things actually.

Huh?

Well the reason it is like this, is because the lawyers that get to decide are “only doing their job” and can blame the policy. The ones responsible for policy are just slaves to the megacorp automaton machine that continues to not regard morals or ethics or laws in its hunger for profit. The one responsible for this mess is a machine where you can replace any or even all individuals and it will still continue to globally absorb value and eat anyone in its way. We nurture and cheer these machines on because they give us “profit” when in fact it gives only some profits to specific people that hoard it in Panama. I am very against these entities of destruction, but targeting any individual human is never going to help, and we probably can’t stop them without actually using politics. Except all available options in politics all want to and are praised for nurturing these entities because they bring illusory cash flow to the region

They understand.

They want to take money.

Everyone intuitively knows what is best for humanity

Most people even know that money won’t bring happiness

But most are bought in and the hunter gatherer competitive instincts are stronger than reason

What kind of a take is this? What are you trying to say? “don’t use messaging”? Amish take? Genuinely trying to understand

Yet again yes

You have a condition that makes you mirror every point I make, it’s very disturbing especially the ease at which you brush off the incredibly focused origin of the critique that could very well improve your life were you not an absolute tool about it
