luckily gencon this week in Indianapolis is requiring both vaccination and indoor masking.

"Masks are encouraged but not required" is a phrasing that really upsets me, because it ends up encouraging people to not wear a mask if they don't want to. If you want to encourage but not require masks, the way to do it is to say "please wear a mask".

My employer changed it to "strongly encouraged" after nobody wore any masks and it worked as well as you would expect.

You either demand masks are worn or accept that the majority of western society don't want to and won't wear them.

A little EQ, a touch of reverb, slap on some compression and there. That'll get your dickbutt jiggling.
Throw in the AI buzzword to look more respectable to marks. There's got to be a regular old human data analyst who could collect info on how the garbage gets managed, where they dump and how, how that changes over time, the compaction rates etc, that'd do the job far better than an AI. But "hire competent human" doesn't look as good as "waste money on ai".

I wonder what kind of compensation he was offering if he polluted an entire town and didn't find a drive with £200 million in bitcoin on it

Lol everything about that article is serious delusion:

"Mr Howells has now pledged about 10% of the proceeds of the drive, should it be recovered, to fund a range of crypto-based projects"
"We'd like to set up a community owned (Bitcoin) mining facility which is using that clean electricity to create Bitcoin for the people of Newport."
"Among his other plans are proposals to give £50 worth of Bitcoin to every person in the city and install crypto-based terminals in all shops"

He's obviously completely broken, they should just tell him to gently caress off and never come back or get prosecuted for harassment

A pretty consistently large group of the crypto/trader contingent I have seen are usually believers in Rogan, call Biden Sleepy Joe, gargle propaganda and recite it all day, and believe the covid vaccine is poison. Oh and sometimes carnivore diet surfaces or other loving nonsense. Don't forget they're heavily interested in gun ownership too. It's more than a trifecta usually.
I previously made this to explain this people-trope in the Jordan Peterson thread, but I screwed up and got the "paleo" and "carnivore" segments mixed up. I think "Crossfit" could be replaced with "crypto" and "keto" with "libertarian," and it would work for a majority of the crypto bros.



Edit: fixed the "paleo" mistake, again.

pretty sure the AI they're referring to is for image object recognition. everything is called AI but should probably be renamed to machine learning or just advanced magic tricks.

It turns out that app game where you pick two matching objects out of a pile and try to clear the stack before the time limit is just creating labeled data for this project.

I think you'd capture easily 75-90%, so I firmly agree. Replace punisher sticker with anti government sentiment/tax evasion and you'd hit 95% of em, replace (maybe cop worship maybe not) for compulsive gamblers and you'd snag the rest.

I like wearing a mask because I've always been at least mildly germphobic and going more than 2 years without a cold or flu absolutely rocks.

I think I'll make a new version later specifically for crypto bros, so when someone asks "what kind of person is into crypto?" or "what's a crypto bro?" the diagram can summarize it for them immediately.

There was a saying about how if crypto were useful then the porn industry would've jumped on it, similar to how if NFTs helped artists then furries would've adopted it immediately.

While all that may be true, I’m pretty sure the circles barely intersect in the Venn diagram of crypto-lunatics and human women. A la that crypto dating website that shutdown due to the ape-clientele being almost entirely male.

Pretty much every time women are mentioned in a crypto context it’s something extremely cringe and horny like the NFT girlfriends with NSFW features.

lol at the very begining of the first NFT wave in 2021 spring.

some of the first NFT grifers : "what the gently caress is a furry?"

like some secret furries/computer touchers said that the upper echelons of fin/banking are still super white and sheltered, but come on, 2022 and they still dont know what a furry is?

Can someone post that video of the "millionaires" on the yacht bragging about their wealth and then shifting into a "Hey what's hot this year?" and they all said CRYPTO? I'd like to know who they all are too, I'm thinking about using it for something to teach about how social media and marketing blend in dishonest ways
