Re: Telegram Open Network (TON): Павел Дуров выходит на ICO

Честно говоря, не совсем ясно, какую в итоге цель преследовала команда тона, публикуя фейковый анонс.

Поскольку "царство Дурова" - модель России, то вброс могли сделать внутренние силы, купленные врагами Дурова, но убрать из своего "царства ТГ-ТОН" он их не может, не хватает власти. Это была явная провокация, чтобы поставить Дурова в неудобное положение перед его арабскими друзьями, принцами, шейхами. Ведь оправдаться может и можно, но осадочек останется. Ну это одно из предположений.

Re: Can AI really predict the outcome of a sports match?

I don't know how much this corresponds to reality, but the news says that Grok 4, recently introduced to the public, is able to predict sports events by analyzing data from Polymarket (although the data from there is essentially a generalized opinion of bettors, which is formed, including indirectly, by bookmakers' data). I will wait for a normal resume from specialists, not from journalists, but for now I am skeptical about this statement in the news.

Re: If you had infinite money, would you still gamble?

Gambling includes plethora of games, various sports to bet on but doesn't it all boil down to money in the end? More the money involved, more the thrill.

Suppose, as title says — you had infinite amount of money, would you still gamble?

Personally, I can't see myself giving two fucks when I don't care for money in first place. Would you?

If I had an infinite amount of money, I would most likely stop getting strong emotions from gambling. I wouldn't care about the outcome, whether it was a win or a loss. That is, gambling would cease to be interesting. Such a rare event as winning would lose its significance.
Well, then why would you keep playing if it wouldn't bring any emotions? After all, gambling is not a form of earning money; it is more of an emotional experience, but it is strongly associated with an economic incentive in the form of winning or losing ("reward" or "punishment").

Re: Changing strategy to win !

If the strategy needs to be changed, especially repeatedly, it means that none of these strategies are working. This is because there is no strategy that can manage random events. After all, then random events would cease to be random. So it's useless to look for a winning gambling strategy based on luck. A gambler's strategy may be to manage the bankroll in order to gamble responsibly. However, in some games where skill is required, or in sports betting, different strategies can be successful.

Re: 11 more countries just joined BRICS this week
by

on 09/07/2025, 06:29:35 UTC
Trump will try to threaten anyone who dares to even think about joining BRICS and going against USA. Now, he has only implemented tariffs but later on... who knows what else will he do to maintain the us dollar's position. What I think, though is his illogical decisions regarding the tariffs may only drive the countries further and further away from him. If this continues, USA might be onto some humbling.
Quote

Import tariffs will not be paid by the seller (for example, China), but by the buyer, that is, the population of the United States. If it is not possible to include the tariff amount in the final price, the seller will simply stop the delivery (redirect the sale to other countries). Meanwhile, many goods cannot be replaced because in a post-industrial society there is simply no production of these goods. It is very difficult to quickly recreate the production.

The tariff is a clumsy attempt to reduce the national debt, in theory at the expense of importers, but in fact it will turn out to be at the expense of citizens of the United States. But most of the population lives on benefits from the state. Then what is the meaning of this fuss is unclear.

Re: Content creation
by

on 09/07/2025, 06:11:05 UTC
To paraphrase a well-known Latin phrase, we can say that there are only two goods: bread and circuses. In other words, material assets and the sphere of content as a service. There are theories that predict a new social media society where influence is the main currency and influencers are the ruling class. However, such a scheme implies the mass stupefaction of all others to the state of sheep (which is hard to believe), as well as the premise that all material assets will be produced by robots. But how else? A worker doesn't have time to surf social media. And without this (without the public), the capital of influence has a value equal to 0. But who will create, support, and develop these robots? Sheep or influencers who are only capable of producing content?

Creating content as a way to earn money has always been the case. For example, a traveling circus in the Middle Ages. Now it has become widespread, and rather because of the policies of social networks that are interested in users. In fact, there are few successful influencers. Therefore, it is not entirely correct to count on this as the main way of earning money. People are encouraged to hope for easy earnings (in fact, for making faces in front of the camera, because shooting short videos is not the same as working as a loader). This is similar to how people were lured into forex trading by the promise of easy earnings. In fact, only Soros and his associates earned money there. According to statistics, even on OnlyFans, only 1-2% of "bloggers" really earn, while the rest are content with a few dozen dollars at best, the majority do not receive anything at all.

Re: Proof that gambling may ruin any career when greed takes over

If a basketball player of this level bets on his own games, it's just a form of match-fixing, result manipulation, or in other words, it can be regarded as a scam. The most amazing thing is that this man is far from poor, and he was willing to do it out of greed. Greed has already acquired some kind of painful form here.

Perhaps, to some extent, his action explains the fact that he has debts of several million dollars (the press indicates the figure of $8 million), but this does not justify him. However, such cases are not uncommon among athletes. The most annoying thing is that such people essentially spit on their fans who place bets based on fair play.

Re: Betting on the impossible

I like to place such bets, but for small amounts. Moreover, it is in Formula 1 that the most unexpected wins occur. A lot depends on what happens to the favorites (an accident, a broken racing car, a long tire change, etc.), so the underdogs have a chance. Then even a small bet gives a big win. It is impractical to place a large bet based on such a combination of circumstances, because in most cases bets on the "dark horse" lose.

Re: Can Your Name Become an Economy? Why Building Your Own Personal Brand Matters
by

Well, just as financial capitalism has replaced classical producer capitalism, so now the "digital" capitalism of social networks is replacing financial capitalism. Influence becomes a value. People are starting to sell themselves as a commodity with influence. But only a media personality created in the space of a social network is not a real person. I immediately think of something similar to Jean Baudrillard's simulacrum.

By the way, there is already a theory of post-capitalism on this topic, built around the concepts of personalitet/impersonalitet.
There, influential individuals act as the "new aristocracy," while everyone else is an impersonal crowd. At the same time, the reputational position of the simulacra is too precarious (any event can reset the "capital of influence"), as evidenced by the Kanye West example you gave.

So this is a well-known fact. By the way, obsessive shopping as a habit also has such origins. The problem is that every new thing or service or something else brings less and less joy. But in case of loss of the achieved standard of living and social status, on the contrary, prolonged depression occurs, which can even lead to serious consequences.

Re: Which is more addicting?

Now, what is more addicting? Slots or sports betting?

I would have phrased it differently. Not a more or less pronounced gambling addiction (in the sense of the severity of the disease), but a faster or slower addiction. Of course, slot machines become addictive faster due to the fact that you don't have to think about them, the wide variety of games, and the bright, attractive design. Mental efforts, interpretation of statistics in sports betting can prevent the rapid emergence of addiction. Betting can be perceived as a kind of task that needs to be solved. Or as a semi-gambling game against a bookmaker.

Re: Cockfighting led to a horrible case

If this has not been brought up here, I will do it. In the Philippines, this news is what everyone is talking about. Several gamblers were abducted and have been missing since. It has been only revealed that those missing gamblers were really killed after they were caught cheating in cockfighting.

A whistleblower says there were more than 100 that were killed. The prime suspect is Atong Ang, a businessman and a major player in the gambling industry. His team denies all accusations and says to be filing a case against the one accusing the businessman. It has even been said that some corrupt police men were involved in the abduction and killing of gamblers.

Anyway, whoever is behind all this should be punished and I hope the victims get the justice they deserve. I do not condone cheating in gambling but is killing really the way? Let us pray for the victims.


If I understood correctly, the article says that these gambling games were illegal. Such illegal business is always run by criminal gangs. Well, that's why the inevitable result was a crime. It is unknown whether the victims were scammers. Blaming the victims and killing them is not at all equivalent to an investigation and a trial... But that's how criminal structures operate. That's why you shouldn't participate in illegal sweepstakes or other gambling when there are legal casinos.

Re: AI for sports prediction.

on 07/07/2025, 10:13:57 UTC
We all know how good AI is with a lot of things however when it comes to sports prediction I don't think is something we should put how hope's on because it will never give you a correct prediction.
I decided to try it out one day and I lost, now when you ask AI for prediction about the outcome of a football match it will give you the statistics and analysis the current form of each of the teams and then give you it's prediction, now one thing we must understand when it comes to football is that there are teams that can be inform today because they had some set of players on ground or just one player on ground it may not actually be a striker and when the player is not or will not play on the next match everything will be different for them they won't be that inform and strong like the last match.
And AI won't be able to spot all this things out, and that is why if you know about a particular sport very well you will win more than you lose gambling on that sport.

Indeed, there is such a problem. Predictive AI simply won't have time to get up-to-date information in order to adjust the forecast (for example, if such AI works on the principle of something like RAG). In addition, there is another big problem, which is the reliability of information sources, in terms of how reliable the information is.

Let me give you some feedback. In Telegram, when launching the bot, it is immediately suggested to create an account. But if you already have an account, then you need to skip everything to open the casino's homepage, from where you can log in to an existing account. It is clear that this is done for the convenience of new gamblers, but it might be more convenient for the login button to be available immediately so that you do not have to skip. And even more so, in order not to create a new account by mistake if there is an existing one.

Re: Am I a bad father for letting my daughter gamble?

Now, I’m a father, and my 17-year-old daughter is starting to gamble too playing slots and even doing some sports betting. I don’t know how to feel, part of me feels oddly proud of what she’s doing.

What does that make me?

It is not clear what the reason is that your daughter is addicted to gambling. Because it's a bit of a strange hobby for a 17-year-old girl. Either you've trained her, or she doesn't have enough money. In any case, it is important that she does not develop gambling addiction, and gambling would remain only as one of the types of pastimes. By the way, if she doesn't have enough money, it might make sense to suggest some kind of activity for her to earn money...

Re: Deposit threshold can minimize gambling addiction from poor sector?!

Do you believe that the Deposit threshold can minimize gambling addiction in the poor sector?!


Increasing the minimum deposit amount is unlikely to help in the fight against gambling addiction. This will only embitter the poor and will be perceived as another mockery of the rich against the poor. At the same time, addicted gamblers will come up with ways to circumvent the restrictions. Up to the point that, for example, they can make a collective deposit and then choose one who will press the button in the slot while the others are watching the game... Such a restrictive measure as the deposit threshold can reduce the influx of newcomers to the casino, but in general, prohibitive measures do not work well if the root cause is not eliminated. Especially if the population was previously accustomed to gambling.

Re: The Role of AI in Gambling
by
viljy
on 06/07/2025, 05:58:30 UTC
I believe that AI can be a virtual buddy for a gambler when he is gambling. This friend can empathize with losses or winnings, and most importantly, at the right moment, independently withdraw the money won and throw the gambler out of the online game if the boundary conditions set for bankroll management are reached.

If you lose, the AI will do the same, and will not allow you to re-enter the casino for several hours. Such a role of AI as a "babysitter" who manages the bankroll according to certain rules would be useful. At the same time, the AI can still be a psychologist and have a soothing conversation.

One of the many reasons where artificial intelligence could become useful, your mentality is the right one!
You gave a really nice idea, a babysitter role able to understand when it's time to stop.
I would really like this function, it would reduce the risks a lot, but I think it would reduce the earnings of a casino.
Limiting is certainly less invoicing, there is no doubt about it.

I'm glad you liked the idea. I would also be interested in trying out such AI in an online casino. Of course, casino profits may decrease at first, but it is possible that such a service may subsequently attract more gamblers who will feel more relaxed if they know that they will not go "beyond" their financial capabilities.

In any case, AI will inevitably penetrate into all areas of business, including the gambling business. And it will be important for every casino to be among the first to understand the potential of AI. It will be like with online commerce. Those retailers who didn't realize the potential of online commerce a couple of decades ago have been left out of history with their empty shopping malls...

Re: Is it Ideal for parents to demand rent from their child who stays with them?
by
viljy
on 06/07/2025, 05:43:12 UTC
If the child is making money then that child should want to help pay the bills, especially after experiencing what work is like. Otherwise that child is simply spoiled rotten. On the other hand, forcing a child that does not want to pay rent to hand over cash will not teach them the value of money, as many parents hope it will, and I think it is a misguided attempt at parenting.



I agree with this opinion. But if we think generically, apart from this particular case from the article, then it is of great importance in which country a similar life situation occurs. Since the local mentality towards the family is of overwhelming importance for assessing such a situation, and it can be completely different from one nation to another, even to the contrary in some aspects. So if we keep an open mind, then there can be no definite answer to this situation (in general, the financial relationship between parents and children), since all opinions are based on local customs and mentality.
