Didn’t someone do a deep dive on those cursed cooking videoes and it turned that someone realized that horrible cooking videos actually drove greater numbers of people to it and they stuck with it longer, so it generates even more money than a well made meal video? Edit: I found it https://www.eater.com/2021/5/11/22430383/why-are-gross-viral-food-videos-popular-rick-lax-facebook-watch It’s a long read by the short of it is almost all these videos tie back to one guy (though I’m sure there’s a lot of copycats now) who’s some sort of magician turned quasi-grifter who has a production studio making videos that are just ideally formatted to exploit facebooks algorithm and drive a ton of engagement. It’s kind of hilarious because he, nor any of the white women doing the videos, will ever straight up admit that they’re creating these to be intentionally gross and upsetting, and so it’s just not clear someone hates food this much or the whole thing is just tongue in cheek. Either way, good in them for making money in the dumbest way possible I guess. Biohazard fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Nov 23, 2022 |

Android Apocalypse posted:Honestly I thought Pigsfeet on Rye misspelled Picatinny as in Picatinny rail and since I didn't know that spelling is an actual slur makes me wonder what the gently caress is up with the US Military*. This is not to defend the honor of the US Military, but I looked it up so: The Picatinny rail is named after the Picatinny Arsenal which is named after Picatinny Lake (which it surrounds) which is a Lenape name that combines the words for "body of water" and "hill." e. oh it's in that wiki article, nm

This is one of my favourite things about the modern age, like it's the most cyberpunk poo poo ever. Like, genuinely haunting manifestations of the singularity. I always imagined the singularity as being like Terminator, where it's like, 'Technology getting the better of us', but of course it isn't, of course it's more like 'Cyber-Lovecraft', because the whole point is that we don't understand it. It's us not understanding what technology is doing, and 'what it is doing to us'. This is a pretty funny version of it, there's some dude making videos of attractive white women cooking badly, and no one is entirely sure why. But along the same vector is "Weird Kids Youtube" which is actually horrifying. If you personified it, it would absolutely resemble a Lovecraft monster. I really like Roko's Basilisk too, and while it doesn't quite hold up, it's similarly cyberpunk in a kind of otherworldly way.

It actually predates modern hi-tech, someone on these boards made the point that large corporations are basically unknowable entities with godlike power and that has certainly been true for colonial companies as far as unfortunate native people could see.

Pangs of people sensoring innocuous curse words in images in their social media posts so they don't upset the mysterious algorithm. If the Computer Great, Old One doesn't like your image, it doesn't get shared. We live in weird times.

So you’re saying that instead of Skynet launching all the nukes to exterminate humanity, Laughing Kids Play Zone will launch them sequentially at various objects in cities that represent different colors while an Elsa face counts numbers?

Liquid Chicken posted:Slip a few in your lil' bastards stocking this season. I saw a picture of clam-flavoured ones the other day too. This sort of thing makes me really sad, it's another aspect of runaway capitalism that they're making and producing products - food products, no less - that nobody wants, except to prank your dumb kid on Christmas morning and then throw them right in the garbage.

hazardousmouse posted:I like how those shitfuck cryptobros came up with a philosophy based on the basilisk and now goons can't shut the gently caress up about it and have to shoehorn it into every topic ...what? HISS! BOO!! I think Crypto almost comes close. Like, no one really understands blockchain, and yet! What I wanna build, is a crypto currency, where the 'work' for mining coins is connected to fitbits and accelerometers and geolocations in peoples phones and loudness of their headphones etc etc, just any and all internet-of-thigs devices that people can have about their person. The "work" to begin with will be mundane stuff, like how far you've moved in a day, or how much audio you've listened to, etc etc. But it will have a built-in algorithm to tune such that it rewards fewer and fewer 'coins' for people doing 'the same thing'. Following any pattern. There will also be built-in an algorithm that rewards you with a special badge whenever you do a certain amount of 'something' that's on a path to earning coins, with a pleasing beep and an award that fills up a bar. The number of badges (dopamine hits) given out will be tuned by another algorithm to keep people using it to maximum capacity. The badges can be traded in for a coin, but the number needed will always be some number higher than whatever the top 20% of users have. There will also be a social media app, and you'll also score for people watching your videos, and score triple for people who mimic unique patterns that you've made that you display in the videos. So you'll just have people trying 'random' poo poo, and trying to convince everyone else to then do that same 'random' poo poo, which by definition will necessarily be different all the time. The internet will be flooded with people doing things you've never seen before, and some of them will die, and no one will really understand why. A cyber-curse. Once I've written it I'll destroy my computer and go live in the hills.

I'm not convinced they actually believe in EA but that it's another excuse to stay ahead of accountability.
