    Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it’s wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up

    That’s not true. For starters you can evaluate it on its own merits to see if it makes logical sense - the AI can help solve a maths equation for you and you can see that it checks out without needing something else to back it up.

    Second, agentic or multiple-step AI:s will dig out the sources for you so you can check them. It’s just a smarter search engine with no ads and better focus on the question asked.

    I gamble very rarely and am fully aware of its expectation value. But when I do gamble I still enjoy it, in the same way I might enjoy an amusement ride. Sure I part with some of my money but it’s just the fee for some thrill and entertainment. Roulette can actually be fairly cheap and a nice way of socializing with others.

    If you start thinking of it as a way to earn rather than waste your money, you’re lost.





  • The key feature is that there’s a mechanism that limits supply. Other than that, value only exists because enough people agree that it has value. Fiat currency is exactly the same in this regard.

    I think your questions indicate that you don’t have sufficient understanding of how “ordinary” money works. It’s just a promise of being able to exchange it for goods & services in the future, and its value hinges on people trusting that promise.



  • Long cutscenes that don’t let you save or pause when anything comes up that forces you to leave the keyboard or just focus elsewhere.

    “Control” was the worst wrt this (or was it Quantum Break? Maybe both). I was just about to go to bed when it showed me a “cutscene” that went on for more than 30 minutes. Turned out later that you could actually go back to watch it again afterwards, but there was no indication of that at the time.
