Amazing that we trained kids to be addicted to slot machines in video games, which companies like nzynga and other companies invested a lot of money in dark patterns and manipulating people into making purchased in games. The whole industry was going into that for a while. Raid shadow ledgends was made by some dude in Israel and has connections to a slot machine manufacturer, who is also on the American gaming commission which helped nudge regulators in the right direction. That was years ago and now we have apps that are “ai prediction markets” that let you take bets on California wild fires. Insanity is a world where the most vulnerable people are incentivised to commit arson so they can become a millionaire for 4 months before they blow it all on a home that’s too big for them, with a car and a truck thats too much for them, and no plan to keep up this life style other than more sports betting apps, or paying for “secret” insider knowledge for kalshi. Or these idiots think that because they’re listening to the right podcasts by some CEO loser that they’re going to make the right calls, not knowing they’re the ones getting scammed.
