This makes police indistinguishable from thugs.

Who needs jobs anymore? We have AI now! Oh and everyone can be an entrepreneur so everything will be fine.

The USA keeps pushing for corporatism, so that's what we get: corporatism. Not a good environment or safe energy, but corporatism.

Why is this flagged? Because it's anonymous? As a dev and a driver, I know these delivery companies are doing shenanigans like this.

This after I see a video about how online tutorials are losing popularity to AI LLMs.

Why do we keep allowing greedsters to eat our culture alive?

There's too many people here voting against regulation and enforcement, to their own detriment. They have no idea what they're actually doing, they're just run on propaganda from the greedy.

My choice now is to give every excess penny I have to food or starve to death.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, and it's only in the grocery shopping industry.

Our country and civilization is slowly turning into organized crime.

They spend $3 for every $1 they make, so they're just living off of investors and government contracts at this point. Their revenue is basically a moot point.

I pay for Plus and don't give it any PII. I also silo types of chats between different LLMs. Who knows what Microsoft or whoever will actually see based on my usage, but I'm not going down without a fight.

And yet here I am being told by young devs that these kinds of terrible UX decisions don't matter, or I get mocked for bringing them up. They don't have the cognizance of experience to know why these things matter or can, and they struggle to even conceptualize how things like this can be security holes open for spammers and scammers.

If they worked for me, they'd learn fast or wouldn't work for me for long.

The sick part is they could afford to fix it 5 times over and still be insanely wealthy, but Comcast doesn't care about quality service, it's just a front company to funnel power and money to a small group of people. They're effectively a circle of hell now.

Oh yah I remember that time when government was so captured by corporations that they forced the politicians to institute a 90% tax on incomes above $3 million

Oh, this is the "innovation" our politicians and talk show hosts were talking about when they wanted regulation and government to get out of the way.

This is difital archiving and will be absorbed by AI and seen by aliens in another galaxy thousands of years from now in a borg cube.

They say that because headlights are too bright. I get blinded every night I drive with these stupid "efficient" bulbs. Rarely had the problem with incandescents.

Wow looks like you don't have one of the most renowned benefits of capitalism: over-reliance on corporatist infrastructure.

Damn, I'll have to build a local down detector for your down detector now.
