I was thinking about NFTs yesterday and how AIs have probably scrapped them all and will happily copy all the monkeys and such.

Think I could sell AI generated NFTs?

[–] Bytemeister@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Eh. Use an AI to make smaller AI models that have different combinations of personalities (this one acts like Elvis singing opera, this one mimics Einstein with a cowboy accent) and the create NFTs for the ownership of those personalities. Each one comes with it's own bot-created twitter account, and it posts. The holder of the NFT gets any revenue the account generates.

Anyway, if you build this, send me a cut, I'd like to get rich from stupid people who would actually go nuts over this.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

If you were this stupid and had a billion dollars and funded this idea then you would surely become a millionaire.

[–] tyo_ukko@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

Not necessarily. If you donated a few millions to Diaper Don, it would soon be clear that this product is needed in the government, and those contracts would make you at least another billion. This is how you do business in our current era.

Isn't that exactly what Donald Trump did with his electronic trading cards or whatever they were supposed to be?

[–] cloudshouter@lemmy.zip 1 points 11 hours ago

Yes! I forgot about that. Too much interesting times to remember it all.

What's very dumb about this is that the rings themselves are probably already non-fungible, so even then, it's dumb to store an NFT inside of them 😬

[–] tyo_ukko@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 hour ago

As I understand it, they just exchanged the NFTs, nothing mentioned about having them inside the rings. Nevertheless, it's just mind-bogglingly stupid.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 33 points 17 hours ago (5 children)

It's funny, when NFT's started I said it was the dumbest thing ever and everyone online jumped all over me and down voted me into oblivion.

[–] ReluctantZen@feddit.nl 2 points 1 hour ago

Not sure what internet circles you were in, but I've hardly ever seen people be positive about NFTs in mine

[–] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I think digitally verifiable ownership could be cool for, like, a digital TCG or something. But you'd need an actual use case for why this 'ownership' matters, which just isn't true of the most noteworthy use of nfts.

[–] KernelTale@programming.dev 7 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago) (2 children)

I've never understood TCGs. Why not just print out the cards. Why not to use a randomizer from which one should make up a deck for one duel. Is the fun gambling and consumerism?

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

what you describe is called using "proxies" and different houses have different rules.

[–] musubibreakfast@lemmy.world 3 points 14 hours ago

The store where I play allows for 10 proxies per deck. In the olden days they'd take a finger for every proxy but now they just take a finger nail.

[–] SuperNovaStar@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 15 hours ago

I mean, yes, gambling is part of the fun XD

I don't actually think gambling is the problem, capitalism is. A healthy amount of low-stakes risk taking is a perfectly good activity.

The dangers of using reddit

[–] AstroLightz@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

See, you forgot the important rule of the Internet: Being first is the same as being wrong.

Yeah...NFTs were stupid AF.

[–] mrmisses@lemmy.world 126 points 1 day ago (5 children)

Well, who raised that idiot?

[–] SailorFuzz@lemmy.world 106 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

At some point you have to take responsibility for yourself. You cant just blame every failing on your parents.

[–] Funkt4st1c@lemmy.world 47 points 22 hours ago (4 children)

Its the first step in therapy.

Blame parents, forgive parents, realize you now control your future, realize youve controlled your actions and future the entire time, forgive yourself.

Most people are hovering step 1 and 2, or skip over step 2

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 15 points 21 hours ago (4 children)

Without going through steps 1 and 2 it's impossible to get to steps 3, 4, and 5 without feeling gaslit and invalidated just like you always were growing up, which can rehash and reinforce the trauma, perpetuating the cycle.

That's what society in general, and people who had healthy parents, don't understand. They want us all to skip to the end of the process, ignoring the fact that not everyone was so fortunate to be raised by emotionally intelligent people.

A very basic understanding of developmental psychology is all it takes to see how significantly the influences of one's formative years can impact their social and emotional development long into adulthood.

[–] cheers_queers@lemmy.zip 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

and in severe cases, lifelong health issues, such as autoimmnue disorders, suicidal ideation, etc. thanks mom and dad!

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 5 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Yes. You deserved better than what you got. Unfortunately the only requirement for becoming parents is a pair of working genitals.

I hope you've found or are finding the healing and support that you need.

I think you can kind of fork this path:

  • blame parents
  • realise they did what they thought was best
  • still be messed up
  • wallow in misery continually making the same mistakes every day
  • accept your mediocrity

My parents did a lot to model being smart with money and only one of their kids (me) picked up on it. Kids often love being the opposite of what they're taught, no matter how much it hurts them.

[–] im_fine_sandy@nord.pub 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

IDK how much parents "modelling" things really helps.

My parents fell for every scheme they encountered their entire lives.

Watching them taught me to be very critical of that kind of thing. I guess they did model what not to do.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago

Heh, I mean modeling can work in the intended way or by accident in the opposite way you'd expect. So yeah I'd say it worked for you :)

Sometimes no matter how much parents try their kid will still end a dumbass.

"How's the timeshare doing, dad?"

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

My uncle used to go to timeshare sales pitches 2-3 times a week. Never bought a timeshare, just went for the free dinners. He was so bored with life that he didn't even mind sitting there listening to them babble. The only other thing he had to do was to call up my dad and discuss how gas prices were slightly different at different filling stations.

[–] CanadianCarl@sh.itjust.works 4 points 15 hours ago

A free supper is a free supper.

[–] Nerdulous@lemmy.zip 14 points 19 hours ago (5 children)

At least Dad got to touch something for his money. NFTs don't even deliver on their sole mission statement

I still hold an "NFT". A tank i won on a challenge in War thunder. Grinding motherfuckers, but... it was a nice tank

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 48 points 1 day ago (6 children)

this seems like something my dad would do, deservingly to be fair. I've gotten up to some pretty stupid shit

for example I currently have a sprained wrist from falling off my unicycle during my break at work.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

You're in second place

[–] Peasley@lemmy.world 19 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago) (4 children)

I always tell people "you can't fall off a unicycle". I've actually fallen once and nobody was around to see.

99.9% of the time you can easily dismount and let the cycle drop, but once in a while you can actually fall

The amount of money spent is the deciding factor. If it was like $10, people waste money all the time. If it was more? Gets stupider by the dollar.
