Surely nothing can go wrong by outsourcing all of our information to random people. I used to live near a convenience store that was adjacent to a red light, and so many people used the parking lot to skip the light that Google listed it as a street on maps.

Heck, when I'm driving on the highway sometimes I'll put down a fake alert about speed traps or objects in the road, gotta do my part to make people use less gas.

I asked Google what the tallest kind of oak was, and it told me that it was the Hyperion tree, a member of the species Quercus lobata which grows in the Sierra Nevada.

Hyperion is not an oak, and it does not grow in the Sierra Nevada. The tallest oaks don’t grow in the mountains, either.

My favourite wrong answers are where it quotes an article about something, but it's quoting an intentionally-wrong counterexample or something

I don't see any American dream; I see an American nightmare.

I'm not sure regular folks grasp the level of omniscient surveillance many truck drivers have been put under in recent years. I work for a large transport company everyone has heard of (not Amazon). There is an eye tracking camera that faces inward in my truck cab, and it is always recording as long as the truck is running, and for a few minutes after it's turned off. If I'm ever not looking out the windshield for more than a few seconds at a time it'll start beeping and a lady's voice will say 'distracted driving distracted driving.' When I'm on the freeway and a car cuts me off it's immediately like 'beep beep increase following distance.' We get weekly scores out of 100 that are entirely based on the feedback this system gives about our driving. So far, the bar is low enough so the false positives don't matter, but something tells me we are at the beginning and not the end of this process...

Extreme micromanagement of an employee's every physical gesture was explored in productivity research in the 50s and 60s.

It was abandoned almost immediately for being obviously insane.

I was talking to a UPS driver I know whose route overlaps mine just today. He said management is completely intractable, the rank and file is fired up as hell, so the strike will be on in just a few weeks. Near 14 billion in profits UPS made last year, and the drivers are in serious gently caress you pay me mode. I am excited for them. Our standards of living rise and fall together!
