Technology@beehaw.org•Meta and YouTube found liable in social media addiction trialEnglish
2·17 days agoI don’t get why it feels like doing it for money in the absence of a unique situation. Should they not sue because many others suffer the same way?
Even if they sue for money, before court it becomes neutral. The negative implication from your assumption seems unwarranted.

2·19 days agoThat doesn’t read/seem very novel. Seems like a pretty obvious iteration or implementation if you wanted to implement something like that.

1·24 days agoGambling systems always play into human psychology, and are always not in your favor.
CS loot boxes in particular have many systems designed to catch human pyschology.
Even the most simple single shot gambling like roulette is not in your favor. Any content box randomizes what you get, incentivizing more pulls, duplicates and unwanteds.

2·1 month agoUnfortunately, it falls right into the whole authoritarian taking control, surveillance, and manipulation push that became not only pretty open in activities but also pretty transparent through published findings and contextualized previously published materials. Seems likely that it’s all connected.

1·2 months agoI got back into Overwatch. Only playing Illari.
Continuing my daily Idle Slayer login for minion quest-sending. Offline progression is a nice thing. I just wish it would end already. It’s too endless.
I’ve bought a shooter bundle, so I may play Selaco soon. There are a few other games to play and clear out from installed, a demo, another small game.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Austrian Supreme Court rules that FIFA loot boxes are not gamblingEnglish
2·2 months ago“In this video game, despite the random allocation of individual digital content from the Packs, the human player can use their own skills to control the course of the game with a probability suitable for success, thus establishing a rational expectation of winning,” the court concluded.
Apparently it’s not about the loot box itself but that what you get out of it is used in a game that involves skill.

Technology@beehaw.org•OpenAI is discontinuing GPT-4o, GPT-4.1 and o4-mini in ChatGPTEnglish
2·2 months ago14 days is not a long time between announcement and removal. This press article picked up on it even later/shorter. (Predictably. It takes time for the info to spread.)
If these are the models most damaging to vulnerable people their deactivation seems like a good thing though.
The free chatgpt switches to mini after x prompts in a conversation. What will it switch to now?

1·3 months agoWhen the pig has a public platform it can be important to respond. Not for the other, but for the audience or community. Otherwise, public discourse becomes dominated by pigs.
(Staying in your analogy. I think pigs are better than that.)

I don’t see anything that would warrant blaming her here.
This is literally how all of law, terms, regulations, and moderation work. The collective or defining party defines a set of rules.
The rules obviously don’t prevent lying or ignoring the rules, but they set the baseline to moderate and act with. Without the rule, Bandcamp would not remove such content, and people could not reclaim their money, and nobody could sue the publishers.
