It should be the other way around. AI should be reviewing code. AI should be debugging code. Instead, it is allegedly doing the opposite. It’s creating code that requires human review and is generating code that requires humans to debug. This is the opposite of useful.

Having a huge existing codebase and having an AI that scan the entire codebase and find actual bugs would be a godsend. Giving humans more drudgework is the opposite of helpful.

After your internet is shut, you’ll be forced to buy Google Prison Internet, where you’re surveiled 24/7 and you’re only allowed to download ads.

The key is to tell your audience something they wish would be true.

“Honey, you know what would really tie this room together? A giant electronic advertising billboard!”

Yes, but my lame “It’s a glitch in the Matrix” jokes might make one person laugh.

AI-generated waterfall.

Goddammit! Is there anything that US corporations won’t fuck up?

Just looking at the thumbnail, I assumed the person was going to have 6 finger and thumbs on the outside.

Perhaps keeping an old phone for purposes of doing this scanning thing might be ideal.
That’s an excellent idea!

all grocers have a ‘cashier’ desk where you get lottery tickets.
Ha! Great observation. There’s no way in hell stores are going to give up on gambling cash. :-)

I would actually install the vendor’s phone app if they built in this functionality instead of having these terminals.
I think you’re right, but I dread it. I avoid installing apps. The thought of installing even more tracking for multiple vendors annoys me.
Although I am resistant, your point about bagging once is a true benefit.
One downside, that system doesn’t seem to support cash.

Good point. A US department store chain – Kohl’s – has been using electronic shelf labels that change several times per day. Not sure how they handle the discrepancies. How do I prove the product was prices $1 when I picked it up if the label now says $2? Is it my responsibility to notice the register price was different?

I more or less avoided Kohl’s, so I’m not sure how that was handled.

I saw demos online where they could also determine heart rate through video. The example I saw was a video of a newborn’s face.

I’ve heard of similar, but how exactly does this work? Does it say $0.99 on the shelf and the receipt winds up being $1.50?

Shoes. Bought a pair of Bass shoes from the Bass online store. The shoes that arrived were completely different from the ones I ordered. The picture on the shoebox were what I wanted, but not what was in the box. Explained the issue and returned the shoes. The replacement shoes were exactly the same. I returned and gave up.

Capitalism’s goal is profits. Not helping the customer, selling more, or anything else. We’re in late-stage capitalism, so it is ‘Profits Uber Alles’.

The elites own the media. We’re conditioned from birth to hate SoCiAlIsm/CoMmUnIsm/TaXes/ThEft/Etc. Repeat those terms 100 times a day over a lifespan and it becomes religion for 30% of the population.

If the government spends money on the little people, there’s less money to bail out the Too Big to Fails.

Privatize the gains, socialize the losses. The United States isn’t a country, it’s a corporation with a military.

Follow the money. Find out which politicians resist healthcare and you’ll find who’s getting paid to resist it.

Would everybody feel better if we just said that AI redesigned the logo?
