And as soon as all the other cats enter the parking lot, their dumb cat brains shut off and they can’t park, have no spatial awareness, and leave carts all over the place because they’re too fucking lazy to bring them to the cart corral.

But… the ad money from you hearing the ads can fund genocide. What’s the difference between giving them your money or your attention? The money is all the same to them.

[Rant] "Use AI to make this better" (sh.itjust.works)

My wife's job is to do data analysis for a truck fleet maintenance company. She gathers statistics about repair location performance, truck age, that sort of stuff. She reports these distilled results to customers, to inform them about the work being done and any trends they need to investigate. It's all pretty straightforward and they use a software package to collate the data and chart it. It works well.

As you would expect, one of their biggest customers has demanded that they "use AI" to give them better "insights" and "optimize what they are spending". How should they "use AI", you may ask? No idea, just do it. Naturally, the software package she uses has a shitty "AI agent" bolted onto it in the last few months, but it's utter garbage and does a worse job.

No matter. She has been tasked to "use AI" and the customer isn't happy that it hasn't happened yet. It's clear that this customer had their CEO/CTO/whatever decree that everybody "use AI" in their work to "improve outcomes".

She's really stressed about this and doesn't know what to do. I told her to say she "optimized the algorithm for data collection and reporting"; after all, "AI" such a nebulous term that normal computer processes can technically be called that. Maybe claim that she used the shitty software package's "AI agent" and not reveal that it's garbage and was discarded. This will tickle their balls until all this bullshit goes away. That day can't come soon enough.

None of those trucks has ever done “truck things”. They’re just unnecessary penis extensions; gotta get a bigger truck than the next guy and never use it for anything.

What is your income and do you feel wealthy or poor? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

This is what I tell my wife when she calls us “wealthy”. We make great money, but we still need to work. I’m not complaining, I have a great situation. “Wealth” implies generational wealth. “Rich”? Maybe, since we can afford things. No second house, a nice trip or two a year. I have some money working for me but not enough to live off it exclusively. That’s the goal though.
