in the reddit S1 they state unequivocally that their holdings are so small that they aren't worth enumerating.

Cryptocurrency
The net carrying value of our cryptocurrencies, which consisted primarily of Bitcoin and Ether, as well as all related cryptocurrency activity, was immaterial for the periods presented.

tho this sure does grab headlines, its exposed a tremendous amount of lazy writing and reporting.

Comment distributed local superposition of content with ad (Score 3, Interesting) 70

The only thing i can think of that distributed generative AI will accomplish is enabling local devices to re-write or superposition content over other content in real-time and dynamically. basically, real-time ad content. today that has to be done on the content distributor side, or with pre-prepared ad content of a specific form factor. with distributed generative AI, ad content distributors will be able to "take advantage of" every single pixel of "empty" real estate to sell ads.

what a horrific future

Comment Numbers game (Score 1) 31

That's a nice comment and all, but sales figures are subject to some funny accounting practices.

For example, im not even sure how you measure sales these days. Minecraft on android and iphone remains a $7 purchase, so how many of those 300 million sales are mobile edition purchases?

Another thing that's interesting to consider is the revenue flows from the market place content. At this point, i wonder when they are going to make Minecraft free to play and sales figures become irrelevant. It would be interesting to know the true accounting breakdown of the Minecraft franchise, certainly they have revenues coming in from all over; lego, toys, market place, and so on, i wonder how much it even matters their sales vs installed base at this point?

Comment Actively harmful policy (Score 4, Insightful) 174

Jokes on them, everyone i know with anxiety avoids Doctors for this very reason. It is beyond foolish to think that the answer to helping more people is to increase the rate of/method of screening. people who suffer from anxiety are fundamentally running away. i don't have a solution to this, social anxiety is a tough nut to crack because of its self reinforcing nature. its wise to recognize it as an issue, but this is the dumbest way anyone could've ever come up with to help persons with anxiety. if anything this will cause more people to AVOID the doctor since its going to be more GUARANTEED that a potential anxiety issue is part of a screening.

the methods of screening for, identifying, and treating anxiety is highly complex. this method does less than nothing to help, infact id argue its actively harmful.
