“Do not comply in advance” includes giving in to despair before fighting. Stay strong and ask for support when you need it, everyone 🫶

Oh, I don’t even mean from lost sales, I mean because this service is fundamentally going to cost more than the “theft” (lol) it’s allegedly stopping. If any one employee (or even a team) is doing this at scale and a business needs AI tracking customers to pick up on it, there is something drastically wrong.

This service is basically pure AI hype. It’s not doing anything a minimally engaged manager couldn’t already do with the salary you’re having to pay them anyway. Except the AI is also doing it worse and at a higher cost. Yay!

About a month ago, Israel-based Corsight AI began offering its global clients access to a new service aimed at rooting out what the retail industry calls “sweethearting,”—instances of store employees giving people they know discounts or free items.

Lol, I hope stores that use this lose millions on this stupid ass privacy invasion. Anyone stupid enough to believe the savings of catching a 10% employee discount used occasionally for friends or whatever is going to offset whatever the fuck this most recent torment nexus is going to cost frankly deserves to be swindled.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Why would they need to credit a near 40 year old reference?

You sound overly anxious, it’s only nuclear war if the internet has gone down.

Does Mastodon have the blocking features that Bluesky has (like lists, blocks stopping quote reply chains, etc)?

Other than on Blahaj, I’ve never found a place more chill to be queer online once you apply a couple of well maintained block lists.

And I’m STILL seeing his content after leaving Reddit??

Normal person reading that: particle accelerator from TEMU

Me: oh god, there are TEMU particles??

Not sure I’d consider things like the ability to make your character trans a symptom of anything other than the game being made in the 21st century.

If the game is dog shit the people crying about it being woke will still be the idiots. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(snatch is a euphemism for vagina)

Another great one is seitan aka wheat meat, and it’s really cheap if you make it from flour rather than vital wheat gluten. Still pretty cheap if made from vital wheat gluten too.

Lmao, did the AI think the end of Trump’s gun was a burnt out cigarette?

It’s okay, the internet drought is over, we don’t have to ration posts anymore.

Even if you perfectly solve crashes (doubtful, definitely not something that exists right now), the problems of microplastic pollution from tires and emissions from electricity generation are non-trivial.

Why even lock it if the code is on the door?

This is someone moving furniture to sell I’m pretty sure, not homeless with their only furniture. Unless they have like 6 couches for some reason.

Poop will sink unless it has enough fiber, gas, or fat (all lighter than water) in it to make it buoyant. Sinking is the norm for me.
