  • The best system I’ve tried works by an app. You scan the items with your phone as you pick them up and put them in your bag while still in the app store. Pay in the app and then just leave. They can check your bag if they want to, and there’s camera surveillance.

    The self-check out systems don’t really do anything better than that anyway. It a waste of time in my opinion and only encourages people to cheat. They still need to do random checks and camera surveillance.


  • They also saves us from hearing the privileged “can you open a line more” idiots and playing the game where old people pretend that they never learned how to queue.

    If I want human interaction, I will go to a human, not a grocery store.

    I’d actually be happy if they can remove the cashier job completely, so nobody has to waste their life ringing up other people 's shit, while getting abused by same people. Hardly anyone takes pride in doing that job anyway.

    Despite machines and AI we don’t really see increasing unemployment. People simply do more interesting things.

    I’m all for protecting workers, but we don’t do that by keeping them in dead end jobs.









  • I have no idea what it’s about, but they do have great memes.

    I got a new phone recently, and it started from fresh with all the cookies being unrelated to my accounts and such. The pushed content started out with random shit, but a few days in it started revolving around things that involves anti-social women.

    I embrace it. I think it’s wonderful content, so it keeps feeding me strange stuff that women do when they’re not just showing boobs for likes on YouTube. It’s nerdy types doing nerdy stuff.

    I find it interesting to see what young women actually do. Mostly because I’m not a young woman. I do have daughters though. I’m waiting for them to revolt on me, but they aren’t. They somehow know that we are in this together and that I will support them in every step.

    You’re right, but even if everyone hates AI it’s just not possible to put the cat back in the sack and shut it down.

    Someone will want to use it or at least have the technology available.

    It should however be banned from being applied automatically. It’s such as waste of money and resources. I sure hope it’s not sentient. I’d feel sorry for it to have to carefully consider all my queries when I accidentally mistype the url for a porn site three times in a row.



  • I think it’s an update from January. The first produced R5s doesn’t seem to have the camera on the A-pillar. It’s part of the media system which is used in other models as well.

    I can’t imagine that rentals or fleet cars will throw a warning every time someone new uses the car, so I want to bet that the warnings can be disabled somehow with the right access to the ECU.

    Renault uses their own ECU computers, which are quite expensive, but previous versions have been accessible using an OSB dongle with other software.

    I’m sure someone will eventually figure out how to get into the system once these cars get old enough to reach the used market.
