Can you put capitalism in there too as this describes the same thing?
Find it hilarious that this study is like: “Telling people yes makes them addicted to hearing it”
When it’s literally the reason every billionaire is a sociopath. Everyone tells them yes, because they have all the money, and it makes them think they’re great. So they aquire more money.
So of course they invented AI to work the same way.
Incredibly well said. And couldn’t agree more!
Especially after working as a game dev for Apple Arcade. We spent months proving to them their saving architecture was faulty and would lead to people losing their save file for each Apple Arcade game they play.
We were ignored, and then told it was a dev problem.
Cut to the launch of Arcade: every single game has several 1 star reviews about players losing their save files.
This cannot be fixed by devs as it’s an Apple problem, so devs have to figure out novel ways to prevent the issue from happening using their own time and resources.
1.5 years later, Apple finishes restructuring the entire backend of Arcade, fixing the problem. They tell all their devs to reimplement the saving architecture of their games to be compliant with Apples new backend or get booted from Arcade. This costs devs months of time to complete for literally zero return (Apple Arcade deals are upfront - little to no revenue is seen after launch).
Apple used their trillions of dollars to ignore a massive backend issue that affected every player and developer on Apple Arcade. They then forced every dev to make an update to their game at their own expense just to keep it listed on Arcade. All while directing user frustration over the issue towards developers instead of taking accountability for launching a faulty product.
Literally, these companies are run by sociopaths that have egos bigger than their paychecks. Issues like this are ignored as it’s easier to place the blame on someone down the line. People like your manager end up getting promoted to the top of an office heirachy of bullshit, and everything the company makes just gets worse until whatever corpse is left is sold for parts to whatever bigger dumb company hasn’t collapsed yet.
It’s really painful to watch, and even more painful to work with these idiots.
meteotsunamis… are much smaller.
While traditional tsunamis are caused by seafloor movement like earthquakes, meteotsunamis are linked to fast-moving weather conditions such as thunderstorms and are much smaller.
I mean. Not many. At least in the entertainment industry. This fuck gets 250 mil a year, and pulls movies from distribution to save 40 mil instead of take a pay cut. He’s single handedly fucked Hollywood into the ground so hard, that large American studios are likely never going to recover.
Warner Brothers has already been fed into the wood chipper for parts, and not much is left. They literally sold the rights to their own theme music (As time goes by 1962) in an accidental bulk sale of their own properties. This idiot sold so much of what made Warner Bros, he now has the company paying someone else to use their own jingle.
That GQ article didn’t go hard enough, and was pulled because billionaires have thin skin from the complete lack of skills their money has insulated them from developing.
Critical of sources? Okay, in that case the US isn’t the country that banned the phrase “Tianaman square 1989” from being spoken online. Nor are they the country that will prevent you from owning a house if you say it enough.
That’s China.
And it exists to silence criticism of them killing a bunch of protestors with tanks:
Then running them over with those tanks until their bodies became a bunch of organic paste, so they could wash their remains into the sewers:

(NSFW pictures: mascr014.gif to see what a human body looks like after being crushed by a tank)
There’s more pictures of the dead in that last link - go ahead and be critical of them, seeing as they died fighting for the Democracy you’re now critical of.
Want to be critical? Alright, why do you think the US is the only country that’s capable of bullshit propaganda? It’s so you don’t consider Democracy as viable, rather you’re raised from birth and educated to believe it’s ineffecient. Something I’m sure you fully believe with absolutely zero critical thought. (Despite most of Europe being a dang good example of its effectiveness).
