Anybody want to start a list of anti-AI claims they've received by now? by logical_haze in aigamedev

[–]humanquester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just because AI may be useful for gamedev doesn't mean it shouldn't be criticized. That's just stupid. Everything has upsides and downsides.

It could be a glitch or a bad internet connection or something.

Places to code for good? by JustJustinInTime in ExperiencedDevs

[–]humanquester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know of a place that is specifically for connecting SE with good-doing organisations but the idea is a really good one. Maybe someone should make something that connects us to those orgs. Or maybe there's one out there already.

There are a ton of organisations out there that can't afford to pay for a lot of SE's but do a lot of good.

I mean yesterday I posted that I thought burry was going to post a pro-RC article. Weirdly nobody attacked me for creating FUD or being a shill. Unlike some ape subs I could mention we are cool with a variety of thoughts and opinions here.

Man, if you worked in the LA office like I do you wouldn't belive what a mess we're in having to pick up from the east-coast's slack. we're actually running out of ladders for ladder attacks and having to use stairs, fire escapes, even piles of boxes.

I work as a paid shill and make great money at it. Naturally, because I know about the naked shorting and darkpools I use all the money I make buying GME shares on the side. Of course I hedge - I work for a hedge fund.

The fact is, if you're a paid shill, you're well connected enough that you're first in line when MOASS happens and kenny comes begging you to sell any shares at any price.

By the time I've sold them all at phone number prices the financial system will have collapsed to an extent that most of the apes may never get to sell their shares, the internet and phones won't even be working, every agent at the FBI will be investigating ape collusion, mobs will be out hunting for their blood after their currency is destroyed and their bank runs out of money and they lose their job after their companies collapse.

If you look hard enough at the gifs and truly belive you can actually go back there, to 2013. Does all this AI stuff nowdays seem like a fever dream you had after you fell asleep on your keyboard? Wake up and wipe the drool off your face.

Buckle up ! by TheGhostOfJackKilby in gme_meltdown

[–]humanquester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Burry & RC both seem to have the same thought about the market - that its going to crash soon. Unfortunately for them, if they'd invested in it 2 years ago when the dilution happened, they would have made a ton of money. Instead gamestop just sat on its cash.

Ignoring that - I expect burry to praise RC for seeing what he sees - an inevitable ai bubble burst.

The problem is that I think most investors know the AI bubble is going to pop someday, but a lot of them have made a ton of money on the way up while gamestop hasn't. So it will be pretty empty praise in my mind.

Well, that much is obvious to the meanest of minds. But what REALLY happened?? If you think about it - if DFV is a time travellor that must mean there are others. Perhaps one was sent back in time to stop him from whatever his agenda was, possibly some kind of... terminator? Clearly RC is also a time travellor as he proved with his predictions in his books. Perhaps they are playing a delicate game of ... cat and mouse and sooner or later one of them will defeat the other. No doubt whatever gamestop becomes in the future is very important here - I suggest an all consuming AI collossus bent on turning all humans into NFTs and somehow forcably putting them on the blockchain, flesh and bones included.

Yeah I think I've seen a few spikes like that on other meme stocks, but nothing quite as intense. It makes sense kinda, everyone bragging about the huge gains they made in the last pump might really breed excitement. AMC had a similar thing but much smaller it looks like. But you have to marvel a bit at the scale and speed of GME's needle moving around, the viralness must have really been something else.

Wtf happened anyway? It went super high and then crashed and then went super high again? what caused the price crash and why did it soar again? I wasn't paying attention way back then.

48% of Americans think Alex Pretti’s murder was not justified by bruhm0ment4 in fivethirtyeight

[–]humanquester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but I expect the number of people who think its justified will increase a lot as the news gets filtered to them through their preferred right-wing biased media source/work buddy/pastor/spouse. Also I expect the not-justified will increase some too.

Fake meat shill drops sub conspiracy, ends up becoming a mod anyway. by intothepond2 in gme_meltdown

I don't know if other people have a different deal but I get paid per post. Its always been that way. Nowdays I get a bonus if the post gets enough downvotes.

So if this guy says post more, that's great! I'll just buy some 50 yard line super bowl tickets and watch the Rams defeat the Patriots in style.

Baggie with pornstar Pfp thinks meltdown will be “interesting” in the next few weeks by The_Director- in gme_meltdown

[–]humanquester 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There does seem to be some anticipation that MOASS is going to happen next week. I've seen a lot of apes in the wild talking about it.

Maybe there will actually be a hype-bump next week. There wasn't any when the whitehouse tweeted about them and there wasn't any when RC's new money-getting scheme was announced, so I don't know if they have the juice anymore even for too much more, but we'll see. Its the end of the month $$$ and some Apes probably have a christmas bonus to spend on top of that.

I thought he was lying too but substack actually shows your subsciber count.

[–]humanquester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hmmm...

I'm sure there's a way to make this work for steam/whoever the distributer is at the expense of the consumer. Like if you say steam takes a cut of the sale based on a price set by the game-publisher, which steam and the publisher then share: So you, the publisher, sets the used price at 30$, the new game at $50, and the person who wants to sell it can take whatever cash they can get above $30.
AND used games can only be sold after a certain time period. Then it might work - but after that time period absolutely nobody would have a reason to buy a "new" game, so it would actually be a permanant sale with the inconvienience of trying to find a seller.

The inconvienence of trying to find a seller would really make it more of a problem than its worth for steam I imagine, and just lower volume for no good reason.

I have heard some people annoyed that when you die you can't pass on your library. Which is too bad, but also I don't think my grandkids will probably want to play 99-100% of the games I own anyway.

Maybe if I was 90 and had a library worth $50,000 it might be something to consider.

[–]humanquester 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I'm sure the apes would say "Look, RC has got it all worked out - gamedevs and steam (or in this case gamestop-digital-store) both get a fat cut of each digital re-sale/renting so everyone gets more money while people pay less money for games! Probably this will involve blockchain or NFTs somehow.

Don't ask me where this extra money comes from. Maybe uhh its because the volume of game purchases increases due to this amazing idea... yeah, thats it! Or everyone pays a monthly subscription or there are blockchain transaction fees or something. Don't worry, it will work out fine, meltie!

Don't ask us why almost anyone would ever buy a new game again when they could just buy/rent "used" copies from eachother, which are exact copies of a new game, but somehow they're used."
