There’s also voice user interfaces! I’m not sure if it goes by another name, but blind people have their own way of using a phone, plus there’s a lot of voice control when driving or using Alexa and the like

That just means the law in question is the Constitution, which can also be amended.

I’m a white guy who went to a wedding in rural India. That attention alone got to be a bit much after a few days.

Also, I would have to be stupidly careful about pretty much everything. Hackers would actually think to target me AND could have an incentive to do so knowing I’ve got money (gained by fraud or blackmail if I’m not careful). In my current life I go to clothing-optional places pretty regularly (not a sex club or anything) and that would pretty much have to stop.

Just let me be rich in a way that nobody knows it, preferably not even my own friends.

the dialogue sounds awful

The dialogue sounds truly, truly awful

the dialogue is unbelievably repetitive

repeat the same lines

🤔

Trying to overcome language barriers, probably.

I like humans. They’re pretty neat. My friends and family are particularly awesome. The site I’ve used to interact with them (rhymes with Schmacebook) has largely pivoted to content from “people” I’ve never heard of (usually about the same few topics) and yes, AI slop. Even groups where people ask for help will inevitably have people saying “oh, I talked with the clanker about this because clearly you can’t do that and here’s what it said…”

I’ve resisted posting on Reddit, but honestly I feel like Lemmy is sorely missing social posts about people’s day to day in factor of memes and stuff. It has its place, but I’m looking for a mix of things.

A perfect 8/13 (Spoilers for The Good Place)

tax revenue. People spend money, that money has sales tax, room tax, etc. Obviously the city does not own the hotels, restaurants, clothes and souvenir stores people will end up in, etc.

You figured it out! You win math! 😀

Which means more ridership (ticket revenue) and more tax revenue going into the area through other means, like hotels.

Surely whatever logistics they use for NFL games can also be used here? How much more of a crowd could they be expecting?

Isn’t that, like, all transit though? If the RV show is in town I wouldn’t expect them to pay for transit either.

But in other events they can figure out how to run it charging 90% less, or if you use Trump math 1000% less?

NJ Transit said this month that train tickets to MetLife Stadium for the World Cup would cost $150 — more than 10 times the normal price

That’s the infuriating part. WTF are they doing?

Let’s not build the torment nexus

Those are definitely words

Those are two very different things, and more than one ticket per month over the course of a year (and those are just the times you get caught) is more than generous.

But how should a singer who produces an album, or an author who writes a book, or whatever be compensated? Its popularity isn’t really known until after it’s published, it’s not really fair for a damn good writer to get paid the same as someone who produces slop.

I’m not dead yet!

Well, I’m not talking about cameras. I’m asking about my oven not because I think I shouldn’t care about it, but because I genuinely want to know why I should. Like, I can’t imagine some algorithm is saying “guys, this guy set his oven to 350 an hour before dinner, we got him!”

What time you usually cook, so the best time to show you other advertisements

I guess I can grant you that they would learn that I eat dinner around dinner time, maybe a little later than most but also not abnormally so.

or if you’re in the store once super targeted customer by customer pricing gets implemented (it’s already in place in many locations)

I’ve seen that stores want to be able to adjust prices based on time of day or whatever, and my store has mostly switched to eink price labels so it’s a matter of time… But per person? How are they supposed to offer one price to me and another to someone reaching for the gallon of milk at the same time?

Honest question though: what of real value can a company gain by knowing that I turned my oven to 350, or that I switched my air conditioning on? Assuming app permissions match what’s needed and I’m not giving up my contacts or whatever. Or is that a more common issue than I realize?
