It'd actually be this tbh. Crackkkers love their apple devices and companies charge more if they detect the user is on an iPhone or Mac

$$$$ - white/EA/Indian

$$$ - rest of POC

With facial recognition couldn't you do fico check and adjust prices accordingly?

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 11 points 21 hours ago

That would be insanely costly to do

Also credit scores don't correlate to income

Lots of high income people are in hella credit card debt and lots of low income people are very careful of their credit score because they need every little financial advantage they can get

My credit score is like 800 something and I have all of $500 to my name lmao

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 6 points 21 hours ago

Impressive, I only paid with credit cards, never missed any payments for years and hovered low 700s the entire time until I was late on one payment and I dropped almost 100 points when I checked 3 months later lmao

This is the true power of automation. Without the human element it is much easier to advance a racist agenda and enact racist policies.

there was fucking wild story i saw on science twitter ~~(can't find it again though, maybe it was revealed to me in a dream for now level of trustworthiness)~~, that some presenting woman image was enhanced with subtle horniness via ai upscale, so we get objectification for a price one as well

**Found it

If I have to sit through another whimsical, cheerful, ditsy ukulele advertisement from companies who in the end have ghoulish goals in mind I fucking swear vegeta-stare

life is beautiful. life is precious. here at Bthaghlmart we believe in pouring bleach on top of unsold yet still edible food. we pay our shop staff as low as legally possible and donate millions to the Holden Bloodfeast campaign and to the War Crimes foundation. the sun rises on a new day. the world is full of wonder.

The one I do tolerate is the soprano ad on life is too short. That was funny as hell. Someone described it as comforting to a blind man, terrifying to a deaf man. Yours just reminded me of that lmfao

With that high pitched ping ping ping sound in the background. agony-turbo I'm starting to understand what frieza went through in HFIL. Its still fuck him though. When I send him back there the only chance of release is xeno wiping out this reality.

i think its a toy xylophone that you're thinking of. It all sounds the fucking same and it causes me physical pain.

Glockenspiel, a serious name for a serious instrument.

Yes thank you I think that is the name. I'm too busy training to beat that idiot kakarot to remember the names

Is the near future going to involve "gig" work where someone that has the calipers-heeding ability to get lower prices buys things for other people, for a fee?

What do you mean in the near future? It already exists, https://welldeserved.me/. Watch the reveal video.

It's always the music. Shit seems eery to me. Just a soulless procedurally generated high.....

I'm pretty sure it's a comedy bit. They probably made the video like that intentionally.

[-] FunkYankkkees@hexbear.net 11 points 20 hours ago

It is, the end slate literally says "Winner of Comedy Hack Day San Francisco 2015"

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 7 points 20 hours ago

huey-lewis Ukuleles have such a humble low-tech mirthful and warm sound to them that applying them to the corporate surveillance state identity will surely hide the planet burning and life-crushing activities that we corpos enjoy so much!
