Jim is survived by his wife and three children, who look back fondly on his enthusiasm for Subway’s always fresh never frozen sandwiches and healthy options for only five dollars. He will be dearly missed by his friends and neighbors, though perhaps not as much as the soon-expiring 2-for-1 hooters appetizer special next door to Jim’s favorite Great Clips located at 114 Main Street. A Chipotle meet-and-greet has been organized in his memory by Dan’s Discount Funerals, 18% off appetizers with Groupon pre-registration to the first fifteen to pay their respects.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Jim, which occurred on 4/28/2024. Beloved husband of Susan, father of Jack, and grandfather of Emma. Family and friends are invited to a funeral service on 5/5/2024 at 11:00AM, at 123 Main Street. Jim's funeral service is costing his family $28,000 because Jim didn't prepay for funeral insurance from GEICO. Don't be like Jim, save your family the hassle and expense when you die. Call GEICO today.

Why was there an AI priest in the first place, who's idea was it to replace a job requiring empathy and wisdom with a soulless machine? And how do I hit them?

In the article, it says that they just had an AI chatbot set up to answer questions people had and he wasn't actually doing any priestly duties, but his avatar was wearing priest vestments. The AI is still up, but the avatar is just a man in a suit now.

I'm pretty sure it is a combination of: - Hot new trend (Look how relevant and up to date we are!) - Theoretical improvements (No need to update the FAQ all the time! Users can find answers to questions we didn't think they would ask!) - People in charge having no idea what it means in practical terms.

In addition, the Grays would make an alliance with the police department, funding weekly “policeman’s banquets” to win them over. quote:Everyone would be welcome at the Gray Pride march—everyone, that is, except the Blues. Srinivasan defines the Blue political tribe as the liberal voters he implies are responsible for the city’s problems. Blues will be banned from the Gray-controlled zones, said Balaji, unlike Republicans (“Reds”). This is deranged. Is he just addicted to the attention and freestyling TED talks?

i hope his special ID cards leak all the PII and he gets sued. Also whatever happen to that worldcoin that was going to be a global ID? (except not because all ports of access would still ask for real form of ID like passports)

He's an ultra-libertarian who'd read too much Ayn Rand and seriously dreamt of the tech industry going Galt and founding its own little utopia beyond the reach of governments. Like so many other rich tech people who followed this general intellectual line, his hatred of regulation and ethics led him to prefer right-wing politics and he eventually fell in line with the "Dark Enlightenment" techie neo-fascist movement.

People keep referring to this book as a hilarious take-down of Libertarianism but I found it to be a sad story of a dying New England town. Any ideology could have come through and taken over, which is surely why it was targeted.

I don't like the "put your items on the circular thingy then insert your money" checkouts that a lot of convenience stores are putting in around me. It doesn't save any time at all, even if you do it right, and that's not even accounting for the old people and what have you who always need help with it. Not sure what problem it's designed to solve, really. There's still the same amount of cashiers there's always been. I guess one could argue that it eliminates cashiers loving up and giving you the wrong change or freeing up time to clean and stock shelves but...like half the people that shop in gas stations need some tobacco/vape/blunt papers from behind the counter or are buying beer and need to be ID'd anyway One automation I CAN get behind is the vending machines for loving scratch off tickets because NOTHING slows down the line like a lottery junky, God drat. They wanna do something, put in a machine where a person puts their ticket in and it spits out the money. Now that I think about it...why not just eliminate the ticket all together anyway? Speaking of elimination, some of the stores that put the big TV screen things on the cooler doors have already gotten rid of them. The doors where, instead of glass, it's an LED display of Gatorade and poo poo that often don't align with what's inside that particular refrigerator and sure as poo poo don't tell you when it's empty. What a dumb, expensive idea.

What a dumb, expensive idea. Come to think of it most of them around here have been pulled out of the stores as well. These were the worst, just an insane waste of money. How did they even get stores to buy them, why wasn't everyone just like "glass is already clear and your products advertise themselves by being on the shelves, idiot"
