You can absolutely depend on a publicly traded corporation that’s legally obligated to make decisions in the monetary interest of its shareholders—to behave in an altruistic fashion for the benefit of mankind.

No it's okay they're using an AI model, so inevitably they can point to the huge jumble of math and say "computer did it" when asked to defend the gouging. That's basically transparency, right?

If it is true, they just admitted to security fraud for not maximizing profits. I doubt it is true but would be interesting to see it in court if they decide to admit to lying in a public press release or security fraud not acting in the interest of shareholders...

Disney is working on that with their streaming terms of service defence to poisoning a restaurant customer.

Just take a page from Musk and sue everyone who isn't purchasing your products.

whoops! that was our error! It's actually "Enhanced Display for Grocery Environment" which is at least an acronym. Fixed.

The more we disrupt them, the harder time they’re gonna have

Oh no, now they're going to be wirelessly connected. The problem I foresee is the price changing between when I see it and when I check out. Also, if that's solved and I see a bunch of people grabbing an item I may just hang out for another 40 minutes and ask for a price check at the register. See if it's come back down yet.

Either that or shop with a jamming device. Oops, nothing works.

I'll bet a little, pocket-sized center punch would kill them right quick.

not just no, but Makhno

Ned Ludd told me to do it.

What's even more fucked up is we are overproducing food on a scale that is destroying the soil and a huge portion of food goes to waste well before it is even processed for sale (don't feel upset for tossing away leftovers... all of our leftovers combined are a drop in the waste bucket).

Yet despite this they insist on cutting more and more corners. In the 19th they did this and produced highly toxic results... and it was not only outlawed, but American food production made the prices so cheap that it was not needed anymore.

Yet we have shit being done today that would still shock people back then.

What else would they use? Sawdust?

I have never experienced that there.

@o7___o7 (Checks …) you may like "A Conventional Boy" (coming next January 7th)? And if I ever get "Ghost Engine" (the space opera) done, that has a happy ending.

about as likely as getting Charlie Brooker to write a good ending
