And maximize how they're fed in the last months of their lives in feedlots.

They were certainly not killing 30 million bison each year.

The only answer here is less meat production, especially feedlot-finished, no matter how people try to twist it.

At the time, they had a real person handling their support. The real person told me this was just a glitch and that my correct address was on file and everything is fine.

That wasn't actually true. A new debit card to replace my expiring one ended up being sent to the old address a couple of months ago.

So I go back to the website to try to edit it one last time. Same problem.

I call them and get their fucking stupid AI slopbot.

Still, I explain the whole situation:

> I'm trying to update my address on the website. When I click the edit link next to the old address, it shows my new address instead. I need to remove the old address.

What did the slopbot decide to say? Oh well, I should go on the website and edit my address of course! I gave it two more chances by trying to explain it a different way and how this didn't work.

Did it accept that and escalate the issue to a human? No. It kept telling me to go to the website.

I had to say

> Hey you fucking bitch, how many times do I have to tell you that doesn't fucking work? Escalate this to a fucking human before I get the attorney general involved.

to finally get a live person to fix it (I actually had to do this twice, the first set of fucks, the slopbot forgot what problem I was having and needed a refresher!). Suffice it to say, I will never trust any large amount of money with this bank again. I'm highly skeptical of any company using AI CS now, because this is one of my many experiences where the slopbot is incapable of recognizing a complex situation outside of its capabilities.

I mean look at this situation: their AI slopbot turned this one mistake into 5 mistakes instead of just allowing it to be one that another human corrects.

It's gotten to the point where whenever I see someone lauding AI customer support, I just assume they have an investment/job that hinges on people liking it and/or their only experiences are using it as a glorified refund button.

Which isn't really a negative to me, but I think people should be honest about what is actually necessary to get the benefits of this form of beef production.

I'm skeptical that they're actually surrounded by American prairie. What are the addresses of some of the data centers you're talking about?

Edit: I just see traditional American landscaping surrounding the CyrusOne data center in Aurora. I don't really see any native forbs or native grasses and it has a bunch of trees... where's the prairie?

The most recent one is detention-unit.com, which probably does trick a lot of the people getting these phishing emails since the targets don't seem to speak English as a first language.

As an aside, an alarming number of server admins don't check SPF so these emails are actually getting into people's inboxes.

If you're seeing this violent sentiment spill over to HN, just imagine how the general population is starting to feel about billionaires.

And idk how people don't understand how "politeness" gets weaponized.

This video is an example

https://youtu.be/amSIcL3V5C4?is=hmlOx2t7dHg5j-lJ

Here, the only way this guy could've had a "good attitude" is if he had let the lady do whatever she wants with his service dog. This behavior is very common in situations where people feel entitled to something, but know the counterparty has the absolute right to refuse to cooperate. No matter how politely that information is conveyed, it's "rude" because they're being denied something they want.

The police don't like my attitude when I firmly say "no, sorry, I won't be unlocking my phone. I will only do what I am legally required to do."

People have a hard time understanding this because they are under the impression that they know how to be polite because they do what they think is polite. They are unaware that politeness is subjective and slippery and that people can and do use it to manipulate others into doing things they're uncomfortable with.

It's way past my bedtime, so I will have to read it in the morning, but it already seems to address several of your questions.

I made a single presumption: that the PCP's use of AI for this situation is not mandatory. Is it mandatory or is it not?

In 2024 when the AI empathy snakeoil machine was inflicted on the nurses, the nurses had no choice in the matter. And management has already established that they may do something like this again.

Your situation is completely different. It's a doctor overseeing their own tool. If the AI makes a mistake, the doctor is responsible and would presumably take responsibility. Who is responsible if an AI tool makes a mistake in a performance evaluation of an employee? The employee! The employee is guilty until proven innocent. But the employee gets no choice in whether that AI tool is used against them (absent a union agreement which dictates how AI tools can be used).

The reason I fear the misuse of AI is because it is so useful.
