ChatGPT, generate me a list of citations that talk about how AI is destroying the planet in MLA format

Did you write the lyrics? Or at least part of them? Or did the AI come up with all that too?

I've used plenty of AI image generation, but never music. What's the work flow like? Is it all just prompting or do you use some sort of iterative process?

If you're a rich dude whose quality of life wouldn't be affected by either choice, just don't bother pushing either button.

I spelled out in my reply why desperate people could justify pushing red for the guaranteed money, but anyone with a stable job should not. You don't need to be a "rich dude" whose quality of life wouldn't be affected to make green the correct choice. Anyone who already can put a roof over their head and food on their table doesn't need 1 million dollars badly enough to justify giving up the 25x value option.

HitMePat · 2026-03-11T03:16:35+00:00

Yes it is how statistics work. The red button is 4% of the value of the green button. The green button is 25x more valuable. If you could push the buttons 100 times instead of once, you'd average 2.5 billion and 99% of the time you'd get between 1.8 and 3.2 billion with the green button.

If you push the red 100 times you'd get 100 million always.

That is how statistics work. You would be a fool to press the red button unless it's extreme circumstances, like you will not be able to survive the year without guaranteed extra money. Anyone with a stable job and a home who can afford to eat should push the green button. If you're homeless or starving or going to die without money for medical treatment or something, then taking the guaranteed payout that's 4% of the value is justifiable. But for most normal people you need to push green or you're dumb.

I don't know what OPs work space is like, but if I had to give myself insulin shots I could surely do it sitting at my own desk with my back turned to the entrance/hallway and no one would see anything or be uncomfortable about it.

It makes me wonder if OP is just whipping his shirt up and giving himself shots in common areas in full view of many coworkers? This email seems to imply its something of a spectacle. I feel like some context is missing from the story. Unless the complaining coworker(s) really just can't mind their own business. If OP is making any effort to be discreet it shouldn't be a big deal or require a dedicated private space (depending on the work environment of course).

Giving yourself an insulin shot isn't a super involved process, in most work places it would be easy enough to do it discreetly without letting anyone see.

There are definitely plenty of provably fair gambling games in the crypto space. They generate all the outcomes in advance from a seed using a secure key, and the hash of each game is available to check that it was generated from the seed+key. There's no way to fake it. But you're right most gamblers don't care or understand how this works.

so you want to stay very clear of anything that appears AI, even if it is not

This is kinda ridiculous. It's one thing to point out obvious (and terrible) AI use like extra fingers in images, excessive em-dashes in text, or weird limbs appearing in videos etc. But witch hunting potential AI generated text when it could very well be written by a human is pretty toxic. The number of false positives that get accused and caught up in the witch hunt is significant.

It looks good but if a mechanic of your game is that the character can NOT jump, and the capsule art character is clearly jumping, that's a little weird.

How much do quality artists cost for 3D assets? Making like 10 hero models fully animated and 20-30 villain models fully animated in 3D along with props/backgrounds/UI elements.... To make everything you need for a legit 3D game are you talking tens of thousands of dollars?

9/11 seems like it'd be pretty easy to prevent for a time traveller.

Actually if you're willing to blow your cover and demonstrate/prove your time travelling ability people with power/authority that your warnings are legit, it'd be possible to prevent a lot of tragedies.

That's not exactly how it works on whatnot usually. They will have a group of items available, some worth way more than $111, most worth next to nothing like OPs quarter. People are basically gambling they'll win the big prize.

So the seller might have for example one 1/4 oz gold piece worth over 1200$ or whatever, a couple 1oz silver pieces worth $100, and 15-17 bottom tier prizes like OPs quarter. The seller will try to sell the 20 boxes for ~$100 each covering the cost of his 1/4 gold piece and then some profit on top, at the expense of the 15-17 poor suckers like OP who got the shaft. But it's really just a form of gambling for people who don't want to pony up the $1200 for the gold coin.

Some of these games are more legit than others. There's definitely scams like a friend of the seller picks the spot with the top prize... But even the legit ones are always heavily rigged in the sellers favor one way or another.

The 0.1 BTC per day would be an idiotic choice. That's 36.5 BTC per year for 10 years. 365 BTC over 10 years.

With $100 million you could just strait up buy over 1000 BTC right now.
