also i don't know anybody who would willingly use an instant messaging service that was actively monitored by an algorithm or *anything* for that matter lol. nobody's asking AT&T to listen to all phone calls is an appropriate analogy, i think

you'd better sit down, i have some bad news about what's been going on the past 20 years

I mean they have paper bags but you don't "request" them you pick yourself what kind of bag you buy.

at my grocery store you can "request" paper bags by asking for paper instead of plastic

people around here just walk off with carts to get their groceries home and somebody picks them up, i think? they're usually not on the curb for more than a day or two

i think they put gps locators on the things these days

a lot of them have electronic brake things that stop one or more of the wheels if they get too far from the store

Sometimes they even fire off when you�re in the middle of the store, full of groceries, pushing them toward the register

I bet 90% of it worked fine and Amazon never bothered to brag about that, because they're humble

Subjunctive posted:

they wouldn�t brag about it because 90% is not really successful for that sort of system

i bet if they could say "it worked 90 percent of the time" instead of "if didn't work 70 percent of the time" they would have

im just pointing out that if the info they released was that bad, there's really no reason to assume "golly it probably worked way better than they even said"

Two different measurements.

I'm suggesting that 70% of trips needed manual checking, while probably less than 10% of items needed manual checking, because a trip has several items.

In that situation the computers are unacceptably bad but also the Indian employees are not doing a big fraction of the work.

i'm suggesting you're just making numbers up for some reason and i don't understand why

did they release the rate of human intervention, or did it leak?all the stuff I saw about it was �according to a person who has worked on the technology� and so forth. and then

where are you seeing Amazon release the numbers? that doesn�t sound like something they would do, but I haven�t been following the story closely. (note that the leak is talking about two years ago and the spokesperson is talking about �currently�, so it makes sense that they don�t line up)

do you really think information like this is a genuine leak and not a company doing pr

Hair (from above the eyes) touching shoulders? That's a woman. Shoulders untouched by head hair? That's a man.

they are members of SEA PATROL. It is a heavily militarized fascist organization with an unlimited budget for flamethrowers, jetpacks, and diver-eating submersibles.

The sole remit of SEA PATROL is to stop unauthorized recreational divers from doing amatuer SCUBA after it was outlawed, and they will deploy lethal force and summary executions to do so.

To be clear, the authorial voice tells us that this is a good thing and the hobbyist divers have it coming.

the worst job application i ever filled out was IT director for some NGO, and I did the usual bullshit of uploading your resume, then entering your information and work history into the next several form screens of what was already in the resume.

after that was a page with like 10 essay questions, dumb poo poo like "what do you believe the role of non-profits are in todays society" anyway i assumed i would definetly at least get an interview because no one in their right mind would spend the 4 hours it took to me apply for 1 job and there would probably be a limited candidate pool.

well you can guess how that went, a thank you form letter 6 months later letting me know the position had been filled. too bad this was before the days of chatGPT where i could have just copied and pasted an answer in in a couple minutes.

being a good boy and writing a lot didn't get you the job? That's a shock

*job advice voice* did you try saying in your cover letter that you really wanted the job
