    Beginning as early as 2025, we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing and daypart offerings, along with AI-enabled menu changes and suggestive selling,” he said. “As we continue to show the benefit of this technology in our company-operated restaurants, franchisee interest in digital menu boards should increase, further supporting sales and profit growth across the system.

    Here’s the Oxford English Definition of “dynamic pricing” since 1929:

    the practice of varying the price for a product or service to reflect changing market conditions, in particular the charging of a higher price at a time of greater demand.

    Referring to reporters, investors, and consumers as “shitty” for taking a company at their word is just silly.



  • The people who make up the 2% market share using Firefox overlaps with the people tired of AI - specifically LLMs - being shoved into everything.

    Mozilla just released a LLM-driven website generator a few months ago. Why are we assuming they won’t add something similar to Firefox?

    If Mozilla wants to use machine learning, awesome. But how about we treat the techies who support them like adults and say “machine learning” instead of using the AI buzzword which is overloaded.
