"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Tech service companies don't give a shit about your responsibility or your consent. They just take what they want, add extra fees, pocket the difference, make themselves indispensable whether you liked it or not, and pretend you asked them to be the middleman when they threaten to blacklist you and take away all your business. This is not a consensual business relationship, they are parasites devouring customers and small businesses alike.

Bullshit. Someone can’t just set up a service using your products without your say.

They can and they will. I worked at a restaurant where this happened without the owners knowledge or consent. She had to get her lawyer to send a cease and decist letter before they took it down.

Why do you say that? They're saying what they'll have delivered to you.

Anyway,you can just Google it.

That was one of the first results.

[DoorDash spokesperson] McCormack says that DoorDash has recently stopped listing businesses without permission and offered an official DoorDash statement. “While the majority of the merchants on our platform have partnerships with us, we will occasionally offer to act as a courier service for customers to restaurants in their neighborhood,” the statement reads. “For those not interested in being on DoorDash for any reason, we remove them from the platform upon their request.”

I honestly thought that it was common knowledge that they did that.
