The science on it shows they are effectively useless. What they do is put messaging out that may have long term changes. But quick changes? They typically are worse for messaging. Know what works even better? Voting and participation in government.
Thats the model Walmart is already moving to. It works well for Amazon, more and more retailers are going to consider it.
Not sure if you have stayed in US hotels lately, now they don’t clean (except between people, COVID really took care of that) and more and more hotels are adding ‘Destination Fees’ that are supposed to provide benefits but don’t. Oh, we charge you an extra $40 a night, and here is a free voucher for $15 in food from our cafe where prices are 5x.
The capitalism greed speed run lately is exhausting.
Leaders actually listen to some.extent.
Do they? I haven’t seem a lot of meaningful changes in France due to protests in the last 10-20 years. Perhaps you have a list of them that a directly due to protests? It seems like the ruling class, leadership and in general regular people just ignore protests as ‘part of life’.
Nah, Amazon and the like already do it. Robot pickers are far cheaper than worrying about theft prevention.
Pretty smooth process , plus it helps keep someone employed and not me working for my own groceries I’m paying for.
Keeping someone employed for the sake of employment is the exact opposite thing that should happen. If you can pump your own gas, why should you be forced to have someone else do it for you?
This doesn’t make a lot of sense. Just because everyone can use Word doesn’t mean you can’t make a business using it. Oh no, everyone has calculators, guess you can’t have a business that uses calculators. Businesses and people in general use the best tools available for the job, which might be pencil and paper, or eventually an LLM.
But then aren’t there just different tasks to do? VisiCalc and Excel didn’t make accountants irrelevant.
I am thinking about installing Graphene OS, any thoughts so far on how it work, or rather what hasn’t worked on it? I am already using Brave and Proton and trying my best to get out of the AI overlord mess that is Google.
Seems super common in reporting as well, I am noting it with basically every NPR news story these days. LLM’s love outputting this format as well. Almost the same thing that is happening with most media, people are so unfocused that you have to repeat things 20 different ways for them to remember, and the lack of actual journalism means they need to fill time with the ‘big stories’.
