How quickly generrative AI crawls in every part of our lives while being an unfinished concept which generates gibberish or white noise makes me feel sad

I hate videogames, me and a mate call it "dopamine stunlocked" when we play bad auto-clicker games for like 6 hours, nice to know gamblers have the similar "machine zone"
the explanation for gourmands lore is that his story is told through the legends of the slugcats in the outer expanse, i think this explanation can be fitted to a couple of other slugcats as well

Season 4 is great and player numbers are higher than ever. Not sure why you are ass blasted about paid cosmetics that offer no in game power/advantage, as that has been normal in gaming for decades now.
What really sucks about this creative AI stuff is, I'm a writer and director, I like Sci-Fi stuff about AI but now I feel I can't use AI as a tool because of this shit. These peice of shit companies have taken what could've been a very interesting tool for creative works and turned any creative effort with them into something as "tacitly approving" of their work. It's like what happening with LGBT+ rep in films, hollywood has spent the last decade associating LGBT+ characters with garbage writing so now any LGBT+ character is seen as a political message and a sign of bad film, these companies are the fucking worst.
I did not expect this video to turn into a union endorsement at the end. I approve 1000% and you are awesome for doing it.
A thought experment, an impractical device that is easy to check for mechanical workability. Its parts are large enough to act as everyday mechanisms but small enough to work well with the nanometer scale thermal motions of gas molecules. This device hypothetically creates self powered thermal diversification: Sketch made with keyboard characters: COLD ())--:PARTITION:-->> HOT Key ()) = Paddlewheel. -- = Axle. (Continuous from end to end) : : = Axle tunnel going through a wall. >> = Lumped friction element Please visualize two chambers full of inert gas separated by a very thin partition. The partition is thin to delicately support billions of separate nanometer scale short axles running straight through loosely enough to rotate freely but not leak very much heat so the chambers can hold separate temperatures. On the left side, a very small paddlewheel is mounted at the left end of each axle. On the right side, lumped friction elements are mounted stationary in place on the partition, one for each axle, for the right end of each axle to run through. The lumped friction elements convert the mechanical rotation of their axle into heat. The lumped friction elements do not impart Brownian motion to their axle. Brownian motion (a nanometer scale effect) turns the paddlewheels at random speeds randomly clockwise or counterclockwise. This random rotation is turned into heat by the lumped friction elements. The committed, linked, and functional roles of the walls, paddlewheels, axles, and lumped friction elements in differnt places should systemically produce a divergence in the thermal energy in the two chambers without adding external energy.

Makes a video about how shit AI is and uses AI generated voice over. lol gtfoh
Damn dude, I love your videos. I may not always agree with your opinions on some things, but that's genuinely cool, you have a very unique voice and viewpoint on what you want from games and what personally affects you, and I love hearing you talk about it and what these games do for you. It makes me appreciate a lot of games more than I may have initially. Your talk about other reviewers at the end, the difference between critiquing from a place of love, and critiquing from a place of hate, and how so many people trap themselves into that immature worry of ever being genuine and opening up about the things you care about is something I also strongly agree with, I hope you keep making awesome videos dude, I really loved this one.

This video summed up everything I've been thinking about (and much more!) for the past year or so as I saw the AI bubble grow into oblivion and people getting CONSUMED by it. Watching every company on gods green earth implement some kind of AI no matter how useless just because of the completely artificial hype made by OpenAI and the likes to sell more of their linear algebra minimization techniques masked as intelligence. And this video is one of the most terrifying videos I've ever seen. And that's exactly why it's so important. This video is the exact opposite of what the AI curated algorithms that have taken over our lives since TikTok want us to see. It's >1h long and it's absolutely BRUTAL. No punches held back, just cold hard truth. So far from comforting and yet so important to see. I applaud the countless DAYS you must have put into this. Because in the end it's effort, creativity, decisions, actual research and life experience that make this kind of quality content. I applaud your cynicism and yet your hopefulness that we can still get some of our future back by fighting. Honestly I needed to hear that because the only future I could imagine for us is the one you initially described, completely submitted to an unintelligent AI, and by our own will. Movies portray AI disasters as a superintelligence weaponizing itself and physically destroying humanity, but honestly the future we're headed towards is far more terrifying. Eating our brains from the inside and giving up our will and critical thinking to be easily milked and manipulated by the maniac billionaires that are willing to do anything to live forever. It feels so sad studying computer science when it's been turned into the most evil industry in the world. And it's somehow aiming to replace its own people. Programmers and digital artists and everybody that you can save a buck on. When we were kids we were promised we'd have robots that will take care of the most boring and menial tasks in our lives and jobs that nobody wants to do, so we can focus on something smarter, more interesting, creative and fulfilling. And instead the AI is taking the artists jobs first... And I'm so glad you pointed out the irony, because it's so so sad. I probably sound like a paranoid doomer conspiracy theorist with this wall of text that is probably contributing very little but I assure you I think about other things in life as well xD. I just had a very human need to say all of this, express my thoughts, especially after this video... Humans have psychological needs and it's sad to see them exploited. Actually the most disgusting thing in this video are those AI girlfriends. I don't even care how weird it is... it can't be healthy. We are social creatures that need real connections with real people. And our solution to loneliness is isolating people further?? Giving them an AI to talk to and get emotionally attached to? I can only imagine the mental health issues this will cause in the future... I really wish people stood up to stop this shit.
I live in Las vegas. 3rd gen. I have a lot of addiction problems but gambling literally nothing for me. I get why on a deep level but... it's not fun lol. like at all.

Great video.
Is that why I'm not easily addicted? Because I play the machine, so ever loving slow.
I'm old enough to remember when corporations went absolutely ape shit over torrent sites. The site itself didn't host the pirated software, only links. Now we've come full circle, where corporations are championing "it's only a link bro, not the actual copyright material". I can die laughing now.
Just this sentence from your video sums it up for me: "The dream of the internet; All the world's information at your fingertips, has been completely swallowed by companies like Google. The world's information is at their fingertips. And you can maybe get some of it, through an automated chatbot. Which is free for now but they can charge you if the stock price ever goes down." Very interesting watch/listen. Thank you for making this (mostly) without AI, hahahaha!
Great ending to this video that really highlights how regular people are hurt by the trend-chasing tech superfans who push these fads. What really fills me with a deep uneasiness and dread is how blatantly the owners and promoters of these scam applications lie and mislead people. Pretending these are actual games, pretending there is a long term future here, pretending the average person will make a lot of money if they play now. Pages of videos and text just deliberately misleading people into falling for a scam. It's easy to just laugh at the people and games as stupid in retrospect (and at the time, too), but I do think all of these horrible trends are signs of a broken society. The system is broken and unfair, we're advertised to and manipulated every day by large companies, we know we are, and that's kind of just how it is. Thankfully now we have AI, which is guaranteed to fix all our problems and make me rich :)
Best informative video on gambling ive ever watched so honest and real information to understand the futility of the endeavour but we still play...Jimmy McGee how smart are thee

Looks like im not the only one returning to watch this video more than once. A few spots are worded so profoundly that it borders on spiritual existentialism. Great job, you got me back into tetris by the way

The key point is this: In Silicon Valley, companies often develop their products in secrecy. By the time they launch with full force, it's too late for the rest of us to even raise questions.
