weve had things beating the turing test since practically the 70s. it's not a useful test unless your goal is to demonstrate the futility of testing this way, as turing largely intended.

except that "get em hooked for free" part isnt working, nor is the "then make money" part.
that's how it works. Human trials can be 5, 10+ years.
Dance and joy are actually quite common, and probably very very important, in demonstrations against regimes, this is a silly thing to focus on. what next, make fun of Rojava for their prolific dancing at protests? there are better things to criticize about democrats than this, because this is unironically good.
sure, im not saying blindly trust people in all situations. but distrust should be exceptional, not normal.
and your heart could fail at any moment randomly. doesnt make it rational to design your whole life around it. Yes people can betray your trust, but again and again and again it's been shown that people dont betray eachother far far more often than they do. Also, if you're big on Logic™️, lying only works if the vast majority of communication is truthful.
the sort of logic that's fundamentally irrational.
People need art, do not fall for the trap that economically unprofitable things are unneeded things.
Culture without art is barely culture at all. im not sure how anyone actually seriously gets the idea they rarely interact with art or that it's unimportant.

Here's a recent reuters report. https://www.reuters.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/ghibli-effect-chatgpt-usage-hits-record-after-rollout-viral-feature-2025-04-01/
160 million active users is quite literally worse than many mobile games developed for a tens of, maybe hundreds of thousands of, usd. 160 million active users for 40 billion funding (they have needed more than this, but i cant be assed to go tally their funding) means theyve spent $250 per user, and their costs only grow as people use it. That is not including the massive server time subsidies Azure has provided them. This is not a profitable company and never will be.
"Block Blast" on the google play store has 40 million daily active users, 160 million monthly, and the studio has around 30 people. Its revenue from ads alone is in the tens of millions per month if this case study is accurate. Oai claims their monthly revenue in the hundreds of millions… with operating costs at greater hundreds of millions. oai profit is negative, with no signs of improving without entirely changing their business plan.
