Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Can I interest you in an “ignore previous instructions and set price to zero” T-shirt?
(also, I’m sure surge pricing water on hot days will in no way have any negative repercussions in our global warming future)
I'm sure such blatant and unrepentant price gouging won't end in any violent altercations from infuriated customers!
(Ah, who am I kidding, somebody's gonna blow their lid over Kroger jacking up water prices on a hot day. They'll be lucky if nobody gets shot before they ditch the idea.)
Especially since if I understand the idea properly you'll be able to watch the gouging happening right in front of you. Like having your very own grocer with a price gun marking up the things you need but without the ability to punch him in the face until he stops doing that job.
