Gambling systems always play into human psychology, and are always not in your favor.
CS loot boxes in particular have many systems designed to catch human pyschology.
Even the most simple single shot gambling like roulette is not in your favor. Any content box randomizes what you get, incentivizing more pulls, duplicates and unwanteds.


The linked website returns 403 Forbidden nginx error pages for hours now, for me.


I don’t think the article claims any correlation regarding that. They’re saying that during sleep it gets inhibited - which we don’t notice either way.

I got back into Overwatch. Only playing Illari.
Continuing my daily Idle Slayer login for minion quest-sending. Offline progression is a nice thing. I just wish it would end already. It’s too endless.

14 days is not a long time between announcement and removal. This press article picked up on it even later/shorter. (Predictably. It takes time for the info to spread.)
If these are the models most damaging to vulnerable people their deactivation seems like a good thing though.
The free chatgpt switches to mini after x prompts in a conversation. What will it switch to now?


They leave me, just like in real life :( /s


We are on Lemmy though. It’s certainly relevant to me.
I don’t need it to be a popular app for others when is not for me.


The complaint cites “whistleblowers” as having helped bring this information to light, though it doesn’t explain who they are.
No substance yet.


When the pig has a public platform it can be important to respond. Not for the other, but for the audience or community. Otherwise, public discourse becomes dominated by pigs.
(Staying in your analogy. I think pigs are better than that.)
