Yeah I'm going say it sounds like user error, didn't install the tummy rumble module in time so now it rejects all input on that port. Nothing to be done.

Stexils posted:yeah, and its also not going to be solved by magically incanting 'everyone needs to accept their life is going to be worse' when the vast majority of the problems are being caused by a tiny minority. any transition is going to have winners and losers, but most people do not have to be the losers because they are not the ones personally invested in the wasteful industries and pollution causing the problems. thats a political choice, not a necessity. Stexils posted:in your example handing the locals a fat bill to get rid of fossil fuel infrastructure is lovely policy I think I've identified the disconnect here: you're not comprehending the scope of the problem. It's not about one natural gas plant, it's about all of them. Natural gas and coal plants make up the majority of base load generation in the United States, so any attempt to replace them on a time scale that actually matters means replacing pretty much all of them more or less simultaneously. Regardless of whether the costs are being paid by "the locals" or the country as a whole, it's still a multi trillion dollar endeavor.

It still leaves them out a car, even if they have replacement everything that's going to sting a little. Now they have to buy another replacement car and outfit with all the sensors and nonsense. Probably a drop in the bucket of their venture capital funding but somebody's not getting an end of fiscal year end bonus because of this.

To be fair, I don't think a group of drunk people setting off fireworks for Chinese New Year were necessarily making some stand on driverless cars any more than the good people of Philadelphia are making anti-streetlamp and windshield statements anytime a Philly sports team wins a championship.

dr_rat posted:Has anyone actually ask Philly sports fans if they do harbor some grievances against windshields and streetlamps? For all we know they could have legitimate reasons for their apparent hatred of them. Philly Sports fans booed and hurled batteries at Santa Claus... twice. The city also has an official policy of greasing up streetlamps when any Philadelphia sports team is playing in a championship game. I think the good people of Philadelphia may have general grievances against parked car windshields and streetlamps, but they seem to mostly be taking their issues on whatever targets happen to be close by.

dr_rat posted:Look the second time, that's on Santa. Actually, I just looked it up to confirm the details and I have to apologize for slandering the good people of Philadelphia. Eagles fans threw beer bottles and snowballs at Santa Claus. They did not throw batteries at Santa. My apologies to Philly. They threw batteries at players from other baseball teams in a different incident. I love the quote from the Philly Sports talk radio host insisting to this day that Santa deserved it. Just an amazing series of paragraphs: quote:The night before the game at Franklin Field there was a substantial snowstorm that left most of the stadium, including the seats, covered in snow. At kickoff, temperatures were in the low 20 degrees (Fahrenheit) and wind gusts reached 30 miles per hour.[4] The snow storm prevented the Santa Claus that the Eagles had booked for the halftime Christmas pageant from arriving at the game.[1][5] Bill "Moon" Mullen, who was the Eagles' entertainment director, needing someone to play Santa Claus during the halftime Christmas pageant, picked out Frank Olivo, a 20-year-old fan who was dressed as Santa Claus, to play the role.[1][3] Olivo, who regularly attended Eagles games, would always dress as Santa Claus for the last regular season game of the year.[5][6] And the cherry: quote:The Eagles gifted Olivo football-shaped cufflinks and a tie tack as a gift in appreciation of his services.

Now, the airline has to pay for the mistake TLDR the person used the airline’s ai powered chatbot on their website to ask about bereavement fare policies, and the chatbot told the person it could apply for it retroactively. The actual policy does not allow this, so the person’s application was denied. When the airline was showed proof via screenshot, they admitted it was wrong. quote:Air Canada, for its part, argued that it could not be held liable for information provided by the bot. lol lmao quote:"While Air Canada argues Mr. Moffatt could find the correct information on another part of its website, it does not explain why the webpage titled 'Bereavement travel' was inherently more trustworthy than its chatbot. It also does not explain why customers should have to double-check information found in one part of its website on another part of its website," he wrote. This judge is amazing.

For all we know they could have legitimate reasons for their apparent hatred of them. It's more of a general air of hooliganism. E.g. Morrow posted:Philadelphia also destroyed the hitchhiking robot That said, the city is pretty self aware. Bill Burr had a famous 15(?) minutes bit where he came out and started his regular routine, but the audience was not appreciative and started heckling. So, he proceeded to insult Philadelphia for the next 12 minutes, because he needed to be up there for 15 minutes and gently caress all of you if you're going to act that way. Like 5 minutes in, he had half the crowd cheering as be kept going with his long, continuous steam of insults to Philadelphia. Absolutely incredible listen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_H_Suj7SEs quote:Fans then soon started throwing other projectiles including beer bottles and hoagies at him.

Philly has the municipal version of middle child syndrome. They were almost the capitol, but now they are kind of the major city that most people forget. I honestly love Philly's weird mix of specific trashiness and incredible history, culture shaped by both diversity and racism, and combination of amazing food and terrible cheese. There is a self-awareness to it that it much more endearing than NYC and SF's sense of city pride. They really shouldn't have killed the hitchhiking robot, though. RIP Hitchbot.

At work, but this isa good one: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/02/air-canada-must-honor-refund-policy-invented-by-airlines-chatbot/ quote:According to Air Canada, Moffatt never should have trusted the chatbot and the airline should not be liable for the chatbot's misleading information because Air Canada essentially argued that "the chatbot is a separate legal entity that is responsible for its own actions," a court order said.

Probably because they've got tech guys saying the same thing to them, despite evidence to the contrary. But seriously, if you have an employee who makes as many actionable mistakes as these chatbots do you would fire them, so what is the incentive to keeping them around.
