Generative AI runs on gambling addiction — just one more prompt, bro! in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

In my experience, stimulants mean more self-control!

ADHD is a broad church, but most of us generally show reduced dopaminergic activity around the frontal lobe, which can manifest, as an example, executive dysfunction. The right stimulant medication at the proper dosage helps balance that out. My unmedicated brother can drink a latte and go to sleep immediately.

Gambling, browsing, etc feel good for the same reason, and I will never touch casinos, cocaine or street meth because I suspect that it'd ruin me.

Curious what a study on relative AI uptake by Parkinson's patients and my fellow adhd'ers looks like. The same dopaminergic systems whose underperformance drives symptoms also makes us more likely to get hooked on gambling than average.

Edit: also, AI-to-cocaine is the new cloud-to-butt

Ha, glad to hear that the Onion is making it!

Sorry about my poorly specified post! My complaint was aimed more at Jeff Bezo's bizzare idea that people who go out of their way to pay money to to a legacy media newspaper want ai slop rather than human-curated investigative journalism.

Google gives out slop for free. Why pay for it?

Curtis Yarvin is just an internet age Julius Evola for the type of people who are somehow also impressed by Julius Evola.

Quality sneer!

This is peak laziness. It seems that the reading list's author used autoplag to extrude the entire 60 page supplemental insert. The author also super-promises this has never happened before.

Looks like a local boy did good.

I linked the /r/nashville post since it has a good description of the website. Users can see a history of rent prices for a given property and its neighbors, which gives some leverage in negotiations. For more context, local rent prices are down 6% from highs.

I'm curious to see if it takes off, and how robust it is against adversarial tactics like bogus reports and nuisance lawsuits.

EDIT: Fixed "Blocked" issue by linking to archive

EDIT2: Also linked to the correct archive page

John Mulaney gets paid by prompt fondlers to tell jokes at a party. He spends 45 minutes telling them that they are idiots, which is nice.
