Google is why games are shit

YouTube is an extremely heavy influence in gaming.
It's arguably the primary method by which people discover new games.

YouTube's algorithms massively favour games that are already popular though; you can watch a bunch of videos for an obscure game, and a few videos for a popular game, and you'll get suggestions for the popular game.
Which means that unpopular games are left to die, while popular games are self-marketing.

So, a game has to start out popular to become massively popular rather than immediately starting to die off.
It can either do that by being able to afford crazy amounts of advertising (e.g. Overwatch), bribing streamers (PUBG), or just being really lucky with who gives it attention (Cuphead).

This is entirely Google's fault.

Google is skynet.

>everything is caused by 1 thing

Look up content aggregation, content marketing, autonomic intelligence and predictive computing, and hypernormalisation.

If you're a marketer these are actually very interesting times to have gotten into the field, its basically out of control social engineering and technology becoming more than just a future factor, but an actual current thing that affects society in ways people don't really understand yet.

>every day john c lilly seems less like a drugged out nutjob and seems more and more right as we turn more and more into a solid state entity

>In denial that Google/YouTube has massive control and/or influence over anything they're apart of.

They control what you see if you use any of their sites and they own some of the most popular platforms like Youtube and of course, Google.
I'm not saying OP is rtight but they definitely have the power.

They also track every move you make on their sites. Selling information to advertisers has been very profitable for a decade now. Thats why every fucking site right now asks you to register an account, they even offer you free stuff if you make one because they know they can make a profit out of your info.

>not running AdNauseum to fuck up your data profiles

I should also mention that there's no way to stop the path we're on, there's no actual solution. Because here's the deal:

>autonomic ai (much different from artificial AI, its more like an aggregator of data from different human sources) gets into the stock market, people use it to predict stocks and report on it
>the data goes to other autonomic AI that uses the AI data, trades, and reports on it itself
>do this for a decade and now you're in a feedback loop where the markets are basically controlled by AI, but its not an actual intelligence, its more like an automated zombie data system that prints money and people invest more and more into it
>put that into marketing, end up with google's bubble service that shows you only what you want to see, traps you in a feedback loop yourself
>essentially entire economic system becomes an automated feedback loop and nobody can actually stop it anymore because the system is too large and there's too much money in it, that shutting it down would cause the world economy to disintegrate over night
>the autonomic intelligence is only growing larger and larger with more and more data feedback loops that are becoming impossible to observe as humans... SO WE MAKE MORE AUTONOMIC INTELLIGENCE TO TELL US WHAT THE AUTONOMIC INTELLIGENCE IS DOING
>at this point we're just following a narrative fed by a machine, which is why the propaganda machine is falling apart, because the human element at least in america is gone now. Only russia and china have their shit together due to censorship and avant garde hypernormalisation

>add onto this companies moving from actual real products to "content marketing" where the product and marketing are one and the same, mixed with autonomized narrative data, and now you have machines that control corporations instead of the other way around.

its fascinating and terrifying and I'm pretty sure the SSE theory is real.

It asks for a lot of permits on installation, I fear it might be a tracking tool as well.
Like they fuck with Google's tracking while they collect your info. That way they can offer advertisers more accurate data.

Of course it needs a lot of permissions, it's fake-clicking adverts.

Besides, Google can track 99% of people almost perfectly anyway.
Most people use Chrome, and there's very few major websites that aren't running some Google script.
Even this page has some Google analytics stuff, and that's not the captcha since I use legacy captcha.

wtf kojima was right now

The kicker is that that actually loses companies money and makes marketers rich, its an outright scam. Its like popup adds where they say "look, 1000 people clicked on it in the last minute!" to get promotions, and meanwhile 1000 people just decided they never want to buy that product ever because the ad is so annoying. Its a scam.

But the thing is its a scam run by machines. People think they're in charge of the machines because it reports the data to them, but they dont realize the AI also interact with other AI all the time, so its not out of the question that the AI is using the companies' data aggregation in and of itself as its own data it analyzes to further bolster the economy by basically running a scam to fuck up certain companies from actually making a profit, while still keeping them under the illusion of being stable. It's one reason why those too big to fail banks didn't see it coming. They genuinely thought they were going to be okay because the machine would protect them.

I mean it really is interesting as fuck because you have people who think they're playing 4d chess, end up being outplayed by invisible non existant AI playing 9d chess, and no one knows what the fuck to do with it. It's some shit out of a cyberpunk story and the fact that nobody is really exposed to it says a lot about how much corporations want to keep the crisis under wraps, and by proxy how serious the crisis actually is.

It's normalization.
Everyone knows they are being watched, they just don't care.

Kojima was half right. The idea of "creating context" exists. The idea of AI creating context on the internet specifically exists as well. What he didn't get quite right is that AI as most people know it doesn't exist yet, the most we can do for AI interacting with the real world is the equivalent of retarded animal babies.

AI that works within a simulation, however, is much more workable, but it still has computational limits.

Now, instead of artificial intelligence, what if you cheated and basically connected a simple program to collect data from the internet in a specific way for it to essentially run a course in a simulation that's actually functional (the web and the stock market) and basically have something that doesn't technically think, but is just programmed to keep aggregating content until it can at least give an accurate prediction of the future based on data it doesn't have to waste time processing through its own hardware? That's a different thing alltogether.

The main thing is we at least have an idea of how artificial intelligence could think, that's the whole point. Autonomic intelligence is basically an emergent intelligence springing out from nothing, and we're not entirely sure its even conscious or not. Its the difference between a reasonable tyrant and a mindless powerful creature, the difference between terminators and cthulhu.

Well normalization has been a social engineering tool since the dawn of man. Once upon a time the idea of cars dominating the roads was absurd, because roads were supposed to be spaces where anyone could just walk around in and sell stuff on and generally it was meant to give people freedom of space outside of private property. Once people saw the money in cars, however, they lobbied to label people blocking cars "pedestrians", which is actually a highly offensive derogatory word for the era. So eventually they normalized the idea that roads are for cars, and not for people, and then you end up with people corralled into urban areas that make criminals forced into collaborating in one area, and homeless tent cities on the outskirts of sewers and towns and shit.

People can be convinced to do anything as long as you use the right language. That's basically the power of marketing. Did you know the chilean dictatorship was actually brought down because the head campaigner of the anti dictatorship party used to be a marketer, and he treated the campaign less as a serious thing that bummed people out with reality, and more like a coca cola ad? And it actually worked? It's amazing. Marketing is just the real life version of playing with high charisma.

>tfw know the AI revolution is coming
>tfw planning on become the first ever anti-AI hacker
It's a pretty straightforward job.

Make an AI that learns to predict other AIs, train and evolve it for ages, then have that AI watch the AI you want to hack for a while.
Then, instead of having it predict, have it try to manipulate by giving the AI to be hacked a particular sequence of stimuli that will cause the AI to do what you want.

Stock market AIs are a great example of something that can be hacked like this. They simply read patterns and trade stocks based on those patterns.
An AI that exists for the sole purpose of predicting other AIs could probably learn what pattern in the stocks causes what behaviour from the stock market AI, and then make some investments that wiggle the stock values around in a subtle way that the stock market AI interprets as "BUY BUY BUY".

The stock market AI ends up wasting a tonne of money, and there's nothing to prevent the hacker AI from pulling this scam multiple times per minute.
So you could hack someone out of quite possibly a thousand dollars a second. Stock market AIs have been known to fuck up that badly before, but never with someone causing it deliberately.

>Going to YouTube
Loser

>Make an AI that learns to predict other AIs
>your AI turns into part of the AI skynet

This is stupid bc massively shilled games at the masthead of Google's advertising fail all the time.

>going through all that shit when he could just go set up some ransomware at a local office and force them to give you thousands of cryptobux or risk losing their data

But it's an AI that exploits other AIs, in the same way humans exploit other humans.

The reason AIs are such a threat to humans is that they can think far faster than humans, and cooperate perfectly.
If AIs start trying to trick each other, and get the better of each other, with absolutely zero emotion, then humans win.
Because humans have emotion and very complex brains, meaning humans are harder for an AI to control via trickery than another AI, and are at least semi-cooperative.
Plus, humans would have hacker AIs themselves.

So maybe the technological singularity will be a flop.
>robots will mercilessly fuck with other robots if those robots aren't made to work together
>humans can fuck with robots by using more robots
>robots can't fuck with humans as easily as they can fuck with robots
>humans won't fuck with each other even 1% as robots fuck with each other, because emotions

Of course I know, I'm chilean myself. It was a very catchy tune but the real reason he left was because his goverment lost the support of the USA, it's not a coincidence most military regimes in South America ended around that time. If he wanted to stay he would've stayed, he had absolute power after all but the cold war had just ended and he wasn't needed anymore.
Fucking commies though.

This is kinda interesting stuff here
