It's better for me not to go insane. Gambling at least makes this sounds like greed, and greedy companies fit in my world view.
Does it disgust me? Sure. In the same way casinos disgust me because they know how to reprogram people and they do it. They're the reason my dad became estranged from his father and I never met my grandfather.
I think software is a tool to emplower people. These youngsters are selling the idea that it can be a tool to enslave.
But here's the thing. They have to go against me and I still believe in empowering people with software and I spend all my time working on IDEs, not as a joke but to free people from, well, the kind of betting-illiteracy slavery this startup proposes to foster
