The Nastier Nate posted:am i the weird one here? before i got divorced, buying 10-20 bags of groceries for a family of 2 kids, 2 adults and a large dog doesnt seem unusual to stock up for 2 weeks...especially during covid when everyone was home all the time. Dr. VooDoo posted:So all these companies pointing to AI as the future, citing companies like Amazon using it to track groceries and not needing a cashier as the computer can just figure out what someone picked up. It turns out AI really means a bunch of barely paid people in India watching camera footage and marking what a person bought. The real innovation was finding a way to trick people into accepting outsourcing human face to face interaction

you can extend the fridge life of your produce a lot if you know proper storage methods. some veggies like to be airtight in jars, maybe with a bit of paper towel to wick up moisture, others like to be wrapped loosely in foil to breathe, and so on

An AI that will photograph all vegetables I toss in the fridge and tell me how to wrap them. It'll just riff off the top 5 google results and will eventually kill someone but I will have sold the IPO by then. Give me a billion

From Amazon's own mouth, 700 or 800 out of 1000 transactions had to be manually confirmed, i.e. done by a person, and that figure is just what the system itself caught. AI is entirely a scam propped up by highly exploited labor from the global south, and I can't see why anyone would see it any other way except for ignorance, malice, or indifference.

Anonymously tipped off the authorities because the CEO of the pub won 4/5 rounds of bingo. I told them and they thought it was a joke. E: here it's very very against the law for staff to participate in UHMA PELIT.

palindrome posted:I believe it's known as the third world Global south is meant to capture the fact that the principal colonizers and most developed countries are generally in a band that is to the north of extractive colonized countries. First world and third world and developing/developed are also terms but they’ve mostly fallen out of style, the former because it’s a Cold War relic that doesn’t make sense without a second world and the later because it was considered patronizing

Milo and POTUS posted:There's a bunch of people who hate global south too. I have no opinion on the matter one way or the other Yeah it’s an academic term and let the academics fight it out. Global North/South is very much what’s in style these days though so it is what it is euphronius posted:(does not include Australia) Australia is honestly an afterthought colonial outpost in the grand scheme. It’s definitely part of the global north along with New Zealand but it’s not really a driver in any major sense although it can certainly be belligerent regionally. If/when western (read US) hegemony falls apart Australia will have a worse time of it than pretty much any of the rest

Also, the whole terminology is a gently caress. New Zealand is as far east as you get, plus pretty south, but it's still in "the West". Meanwhile, Morocco, a country situated west of most of Europe and literally called "the West" in it's native language is not considered part of "the West". It's all just a front for "descended from European culture" or "counts as white" really

Global North also has Russia is in the rich countries club despite a lot of history that puts them in opposition to US/European imperialism so that’s part of it too Although with the way we’ve been redefining everything based on the Ukraine conflict maybe that’ll change

That many entire orders had to have at least one item manually confirmed. Probably 90% of individual items worked fine. Making humans do that much correction isn't feasible, but it's very different from saying it was a sham and the humans were doing almost everything. And I wouldn't say it was a scam either. They couldn't reach their unrealistic goals, so they shut it down. If it was a scam to use cheap labor they'd keep going, wouldn't they? You could argue that it was a PR scam, I guess, but that's different from exploitative labor practices.
