Most likely they will turn the 1.5% into cost so that corporate can still reap the extra revenue without giving the division any revenue credit. So not just screwing the customer but also their own internal business and employees that get bonuses from sales.

…wait out the president before making any long term decisions…

My employer just raised the price of everything thing it sales by 1.5% regardless of it was affected by tariffs or not, I mean everything. They basically said “f it spread it out to everyone” and moved on.

They aren’t going to move a multi billion dollar factory for a temporary president on his second term. They plan to sit and wait.

AI way is my indoor plant growing towards the window? Doesn’t it love me?

Real AI ad.

About 10 years

I outwardly goaned. I hate Mustard 6:7, like what even does that mean?

We do get sandwich 6:9 enough, but it has so many layers

Then give up and don’t have kids and ensure that their similarly thinking offspring have a better chance of continuing the cycle.

And let them win?

This is the line of thinking that leads to Idiocracy

Because dish and cable still operate in the same way they have for 70 years and a lot of people like it that way. They like that their favorite show comes on at 6pm every Thursday and dish/cable see no reason to offer anything different. It does cost money to create and maintain a system for you to do that and the people who still use dish/cable would most likely not use it.

Unless there have been some changes, dish technology hasn’t changed a lot in 30 years because it costs a lot of money to send up new satellites. For the most part the business for cable hasn’t changed a lot because cable just provides the service not the content.

Streaming on the other hand could do this easily and I think Amazon or Netflix experimented with it but no one really used it.

Not really any different than just leaving the TV on if that’s what you mean.

You motherboard will come with AI and will have to be connected to the Internet like game consoles so they can mine your data and push ads to you!

Laughs in evil corporate AI!

Thanks everyone I got it to stop going to sleep when the TV is turned off by changing the main display back to the laptop screen and just mirroring the laptop to the TV.

I read, “If they don’t comply I’m going to hurt the American people again”

Tech #1 - Do you see the wire I’m wiggling?

Tech #2 - The blue one?

Tech #1 - Yes try tugging on it

Tech #2 - Ok…anything?

Tech #1 - Nope try the other blue one

This goes on until they found the right blue wire…for another 20min

Just wait until a luxury cruise liner hits it and and gets shit everywhere then they might clean it up.

Like Titanic except they will wish that the ship went down when they are covered in literal months old rancid fat.

I think the Jan 6 attack was a better case to justify the Insurrection Act, since you know they actually violently forced their way into a government building with malice intent.

Minneapolis is mostly protesting and peaceful noncompliance. I haven’t heard anything about riots or attacks carried out on law enforcement.

Well because mica will get on the robot. Duh

It’s AI rot. Simply put, it’s a lot like any software tool, if AI is doing the work and is doing the thinking then you are conforming to the tool instead of using the tool.

I deal with it a lot, even now when AI is just starting to poke it’s nose into our toolset. The person uses the tool without thinking but at the end of the day they don’t have a clue why they did any of it. So now our tools are being redesigned with that in mind so that the operator doesn’t have to think and can intentionally operate on autopilot. It’s the difference between an operator and an engineer, but it’s hard for most people to see the difference, they see it as gained efficiency or getting the operator to produce the same level of work. I foresee AI replacing the operators and the experts being lost due to attrition, then the experts that put the work in will become super valuable and scarce.

In my opinion their Chalupa or Gordita are the best things on the menu. PSA - they don’t resemble true Mexican food of the same name at all.

But I never feel good about going to Taco Bell afterwards. I only sometimes stop there if I’m traveling and my choice is limited to McDonald’s or Taco Bell

My wife and I call it decompressing, it’s not about relaxing the body, it’s about spacing out and doing something that requires zero brain power. I’m pretty sure almost everyone does it in some form or another, some just get to start earlier in the day, others just seem to already be on autopilot all day anyway and it extends to their bed time. It’s not a neuro divergent thing
