I’d appreciate it if everyone could just stop burning fossil fuels, please. Thank you for your cooperation.
As I understand it, the psychology of other participants does come into it in much the same way it does in a poker game or the stock market. One doesn’t strictly bet on the outcome of events — in all such markets that I heard about positions can be taken up and then sold for profit as opinion shifts, before the predictions are ever constrained by actual outcomes.
The goal of “prediction” markets is to make money for the people who operate them. But sometimes they’re right anyway.
Because it’s AI, haven’t you heard? Does it make sense for the business? Who cares, it’s AI. Is it financially sustainable? Dude, it’s AI though. Will there be any customers for any of it? The AI says there will be. You’ve got to understand, this is AI we’re talking about. It’s the AI revolution that will transform the world. We’ve got to bet everything on the AI, or we’ll be left out of the AI future. I asked the AI and it was very clear about that.
The type of RAM that they use is different in that it takes up even more of all the things that would otherwise be used to produce the RAM that you use.
In the good old days of Usenet you could’ve found like-minded people on alt.destroy.the.multiverse.
Philosophers have reasoned that if the universe is infinite, as it appears to some that it might be, then every permutation of all possible configurations of matter and energy will occur infinitely many times. Therefore, everything that happens now will have happened before, and will happen again.
Snack. A salty one please.
Don’t laugh.
Oh I’m not laughing. They’re really pulling out all the stops to try and lose, and it’s appalling.
Much as people would like them to, both upvotes and downvotes mean very little. I learned this on reddit but it seems equally true here.
Sure, sure, and what if Asmodeus is sitting behind you and he bonks you with a trident if you reach for the lever? You could add all kinds of stupid complications to divert the audience if you really want to.
Yeah, I get that. To me the fears about “screen time” seem more akin to past worries about the dangers of technologies like “books” and “bicycles” rather than more direct threats to human health such as asbestos or coal.
I’m ready with this tricky moral dilemma: You’re tied to your seat in a trolley bound for hell, but you can reach the brake lever. Do you try to slow down the trolley, or do you smash the mechanism so that nobody will have a hope of stopping it?
But your post will be deleted in a moment I expect.
My guess would be screen time.
You guess is in the wrong ballpark. It’s unlikely that “screen time” will be found to cause cancer and kill people in painful ways years after they were exposed to it.
I’d bet on PFAS.
I’ve seen some French movies with English subtitles getting things wrong. As well as whatever other problems happen, sometimes it seems obvious that they’re going by what was written in the script and not what was said in the film.
They’re not always blocked, but this video was for me. Watched the whole episode on a handy pirate tv streaming site instead.
yeah, blocked in Canada.
On my fediverse accounts:
And yet somehow it is addictive enough, whereas Facebook and Reddit made me angry enough to quit them forever.
Tier list:
I don’t give a damn how fast you drive, if you’re burning fossil fuels while you do it then you’re doing it wrong.
It’s gambling all the way through, but sure enough there’s some amount of information to be found in the way people are betting.
