Only a certain percentage of people are addicted to gambling. For many, it's a simple calculus of the entertainment value. If 45 minutes of playing penny slots is worth the 10 bucks or whatever then they do it. I do agree with your general thesis though, there's definitely some areas where our logical abilities short circuit.
- wlesieutre 11y agoWhat if the video game AI decides that losing a boss fight by getting stabbed repeatedly by a player who glitched through a wall is totally hilarious and more fun that fighting? Bug? Or just an AI doing AI things? We have squishier heuristics for what "winning" is compared to AlphaGo, and that seems likely to stay true for the foreseeable future of specialized AIs. But someday it might not.
