The AI doesnt understand the former, only the latter.

Do you possibly mean “The AI evangelists” or something similar?

Like, I could totally understand it in the “software will also include the biases of those who wrote it” kind of way (a la Amazon’s failed attempt at automating job candidate search). If the only incentive you’re given as a programmer is “make it make money”, then yeah, your AI is going to bias towards that end.

Just couldn’t tell on first reading

Man, we’ve definitely improved the survivability of industrial accidents in recent times. I heard about another guy who fell into an upholstery machine, but he’s fully recovered now!

I mean, random NFC tags, I can understand. But, isn’t advising someone to avoid QR codes obsolete by now? It was a pretty worthwhile attack vector at one point, but nowadays most phones will ask “Do you want to <handle> <contents in full>?” before actually doing anything with it…

Although, now that I think about it, it is best practice to advise to the lowest common denominator… Sometimes I overestimate users’ ability to avoid doing stupid things…

Billionaire is turbo upsetti that they are forced to pay for something they don’t want to pay for, even if providing that something costs the provider money to provide it to them.

They get paid when the least amount of people they insure use their services. They’re not incentivized to help those they’ve insured. The less they have to pay out to providers, the better the executive bonuses. Thus, they are diligent in collecting premiums, but can just sit on their hands when it comes to paying out.

The more the system denies and delays a claim, the fewer insured people are willing or able to put themselves through the bureaucracy gauntlet, the fewer pay outs.

They’re not in the business of insurance, they’re in the business of making money from the business of insurance. It’s over-complicated on purpose.

For years, investigators and journalists working for Murdoch’s British tabloids had hacked into the voicemails and emails of royals, politicians and the stars of sports, music, movies and more.

Waaaaaiiiiittttt… I’ve seen this one [before…](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Newsroom_(American_TV_series\))

My favorite part of growing older is misusing slang to pain The Youths™

Ooh, we need a new WordAvalanches community , stat!

If you’re looking for a name drop, Joplin does nicely for my uses.

That and age-gated items like alcohol and [some] medicines. If the one human managing the self-checkout horde is busy, you’re just left waiting.

It’s not the website part that I find stupid. It’s the advertising for free.

I also think that those things are stupid. Whatever company owns the product isn’t going to be happy if you take it for free, so don’t give that company something for free.

Oh, good. So it’s not paid stupidity, it’s genuine stupidity.

As someone with ADHD, yes. Although stimulants work differently for me than for neurotypical people.
