I'd keep this a secret if I were them. Imagine how much fucking money you can make from sports betting.

No way, let someone use it to crush sports betting agencies. Gambling addiction is awful.

from the way people talk about crypto, nfts, and stocks, you can call them gambling addicts too.

Buying groceries, going for a walk, reading a book, talking to someone, doing a workout, solving math equations, cooking a meal, sleeping.

This is just a short list of examples to back up my next statement: wtf are you talking about!?

gambling is not really a way of making money, it's a way of losing it

traumfisch t1_is4w2ju wrote

you missed the point, please read again

if crypto (or investing in stocks) is just "fancy gambling" because of the risks involved, couldn't you say the same about any method of making money? there is always a risk involved.

Mr_Hu-Man t1_is4wjd0 wrote

No because the risk involved isn’t what makes it gambling. In traditional work you’re literally trading your time/effort/expertise for money, whilst in crypto, stocks and speculative assets like NFTs you’re just rolling the dice and hoping the outcome is positive. Can those hopes be calculated? Sure. But it’s still gambling.

traumfisch t1_is4wpwg wrote

I see. So it's just that investing = gambling 🤔

Rolling the dice? What is that an analogy for? I don't think most people invest at random. In fact I think very few do.

The point was that crypto investments or whatever share with gambling the fact that they're made appealing to a large number of people, used to lure in people who want to become millionaires (or are made to believe that), and are extremely dangerous, because realistically if you don't exactly know what you're doing (and even then, to be honest), it is way more probable you're gonna lose everything than having a positive result. They are both a trap to steal poor people's money.

The way they are presented to us in ads, or false corpo conferences from bullshit entrepreneurs, shares the same idea of "you can become a millionaire right now, yes, you, specifically" that is the very reason of being of gambling or sports bets and whatever.

traumfisch t1_is4wul5 wrote

I didn't know this was about ads.

But if that was the point, I'd like to point out that most of investing at large is not advertised at all.

You're absolutely right, though, about the probability of losing all your money if you don't know what you're doing. A lot like with enterpreneurship, for example...

LauraDourire t1_is4y4hf wrote

Not comparable in that regard imho. Investing in crypto is made available to anyone with an app on their phone. Everyone knows that building a business is not an easy way of becoming millionaire. Crypto bullshit is made and presented to people as exactly that : an easy way of becoming millionaire, and in reality, it is an easy way of losing everything you invest, because it's mostly a pyramid scheme.

traumfisch t1_is4yjkh wrote

I think you've made clear how you feel about cryptocurrency. I don't have any interest in trying to defend it. But that rap about building (an online) business in order to become a millionaire... you haven't seen the ads??

Anyway the comment I was responding to said "crypto, NFTs, stocks".

I think equalizing all investing with gambling is way over-simplified and inaccurate. The dynamics of it all as well as the skillsets required to succeed are way different.

Feel free to disagree, I don't mind.

This has nothing to do with gambling, it just is predicting the player’s position and role on the team along with their next possible action, such as bumping or setting. In volleyball this is pretty simple. It says nothing about being able to predict game or even point outcomes.

maskedpaki t1_is65ov6 wrote

I'm not familiar with sports betting

Can you keep changing the bets as the game goes on?

ThMogget t1_is3eda4 wrote

Me too - it’s a bump, then a set, then a spike 80% of the time.

“Artificial intelligence algorithms can predict the in-game actions of volleyball players with more than 80% accuracy.”

Tazmoto t1_is43ohx wrote

What happens when it can predict 100%? Does that mean we have no free will or live in a simulation?

mathtech t1_is48i7z wrote

80% is already pretty crazy and disruptive to the sports betting industry. Basically you can live off the model

thatsalovelyusername t1_is4szff wrote

Only if you can predict reasonably far in advance. If it's just seeing the ball heading towards the back of the court and guessing that the nearest players will move towards it, it's not that interesting or useful. But I'm too lazy to read the article to see what it's doing!

Shelfrock77 OP t1_is4asxo wrote

ASI will just read your thoughts to accurately guess your next move. So much for “never let them know your next move”. The schizophrenics were right on this one before anybody.

mootcat t1_is4gygz wrote

Hmm, that's an interesting framing. I'm already of the opinion that free will is an illusion and our decisions are simply a chain of reactions to the stimulus presented to us run through a biological algorithm.

Looked at in another way, provided every law of nature and knowledge of the positions of all aspects of existence, it would be possible to project with certainty certain all outcomes since the beginning of time.

triton100 t1_is4u8jr wrote

I used to think that but not so much anymore. The illusion of free will can only be extrapolated back to the big bang. But what happened before that. What were the rules in place then. What caused the Big Bang where did it come from etc. also the laws we know about now like gravity and forces like electricity, we didn’t know about until recently. There will certainly be other laws we are yet to discover. Quantum mechanics etc

I'm coming to realize most people write comments on Reddit after just reading the title. Why give your input on something you care so little about that you didn't even read the article?

No, the algorithm is not useful in predicting sports betting results, as comments here would suggest. This claim was never made by the researchers or the article. It can predict volleyball players' specific movements 44 frames ahead with 80% accuracy.

In this sub reddit there are biased moderators Who delete post according to their emotions: if you do not accept the fact that with the likely approval of the FDA Modernization Act 2.0 animal testing Is not going to be mandotory( still not banned) for toxicity and efficacy testing in favour of alternative methods, that's your problem!
