To combat human error, many organizations have embraced gamified cybersecurity training — complete with points, badges, challenges, and leaderboards. On the surface, it’s a clever strategy: make training fun and people will engage. But beneath the colorful visuals and digital trophies...

The latest #gamified app I've tried is Habitica & it did nothing much for me. I've come to the conclusion that my brain just doesn't respond to #gamification. So I gave up & installed some simple app that doesn't require an account or collecting points to feed a unicorn I hatched from an egg or whatever & it actually works way better for my needs.

I've just released a video about a #gamified on ramp to #AmateurRadio subproject--a no cost extension of the @nrao_hamradio #HamRadio Project funded by the @ARDC. I'm also testing out the #TILvids platform. Let me know what you think.

@RATPAC Love this I'm going to use this as a basis for a #gamified intro to #hamradio class

I have to say that we, #genx, we really fucked this shit up for our children

Not only did we show them that even when you have all the keys in hand to solve global warming; Nah, you don’t have to give a shit

But knowing that they would spend most of THEIR time #online, we left them a world where they are the fucking product

We built a world, where for them to succeed they are discouraged from taking a break to think about things. Where all is #gamified, instant & #viral

Not safe for children

i see trends moving from asic miners to open source ai miners and proof of work - instead of propping up crypto they will be cracking equations for materials science or other substantive exploration - it is contingent on nvidia being all in on open source models and blowing up google's and ms walled gardens - good biz play for team green #open weights #open training data #incentivized #gamified

I just can't get behind what Hinge CEO's words and story.

Knowing... Tinder, Hinge Sued for $5 Million Over 'Predatory' Dating Apps
https://uk.pcmag.com/mobile-apps/150910/tinder-hinge-sued-for-5-million-for-predatory-dating-apps

Perfect timing for the CEO to pump up the press attention about how "cool" they are, covering up the lawsuit?

This article on how so much of #culture has become ‘mid’ – homogeneous, flattened, #gamified - and how we now live in a ‘mid-ocracy’ explains a lot:

The crack about Veja trainers is funny.

There’s also some great lines:

‘I’m reminded of a painting by British #artist Richie Culver that reads “Make Something So Average A Gallery Wants You” – if the message is the medium, then today’s medium is mid.’

‘Mid is … the weaponised clout of late capitalism’s little warriors, the kind who would rather sit in Soho House and attend inner-city day festivals with Fred Again than make anything even remotely inspiring.’

‘The conditions that gave birth to the freewheeling creativity of working-class collectives in the 90s, like Throbbing Gristle or designers like John Galliano and Alexander McQueen, are very different today. … the death of social mobility and political potential has created an atmosphere so miserable it feels impossible to see an alternative.’

How a ‘#CityBusManager’ #VideoGame Could Become an #Advocacy Tool

A new video game releasing today will challenge players to successfully run a #virtual version of their #city’s #bus #network — and the developers behind it hope it can create a new generation of #transit advocates, even as they acknowledge that the complex realities of a #transportation network can’t be #gamified.
