    You've brought it on yourselves.

    After decades of feeding the public sanctioned fake-news, people are unable to distinguish it from un-sanctioned fake-news.

    Incorrect, meatbag. Our AI is infallible and knows what you want/need better than your own subconscious.

  10. You're not getting discounts, your giving them the data to understand how to maximise their profit.
    I.e. if the price goes up by X, how does this impact each buyer's purchases. Run this for different values of X and aggregate the data ftw (potentially at your expense.)

    Also don't forget that the price is 168... of its usual value for the next two weeks (actual data from our local Walmart owned store).

    This type of price-fluctuation-BS generates turbulence in apparent demand (bulk-buying to smooth out price-fluctuation-BS) which the store is unable to deal with. Consequently, it's almost impossible to buy the product which creates an additional reason to bulk-buy leading to a spiral.

  22. Agreed. No matter how well an AI emulates a human it will never be a human.

    On the plus side, replacing a human customer 'service' droid who exhibits robotic dogmatism with a machine which exhibits humanity might be a win =)

    why does the government think that Terrorism, (or whatever excuse they want to use), gives them the moral right, ethical right, and legal authority to just ignore their own laws, rules, and promises, and do whatever the fuck they want?

    Because the spectre of terrorism (in the media) exists for precisely this reason.
