Kalshi: Let's not miss the forest for the trees....

 


Fact is, the "controversy" over an entirely AI-produced ad is of zero interest to me.  I couldn't care less if the people peddling this awful gambling app loophole are actual sad examples of American Idiots or AI-generated ones.

The point is still the same:  Kalshi is just gambling wearing regulation-proof clothing.  "Futures Markets" have a certain level of legitimacy because they've been around forever (although, as I posted the last time I looked at Kalshi, the bucket shops they originated in were banned in New York more than a hundred years ago.)  But whatever you call it, this is just making everything you can imagine an opportunity to lose your money to a life-destroying addiction.  That's what we should be talking about here.  Not AI.  Don't give a damn about the AI.

Don't give a damn about Disney's role in this, either.  The Mouse wrecked Star Wars, no real surprise it's in the process of helping to wreck the rest of society now.
