I don’t know the details of this study but it sounds like a basic result if you get people to rely on something for most of an activity and then you take it away vs those who are doing it manually, they’ve been given more progressively difficult challenges but they’ve been actually practicing and doing the work and hence internalizing it better.

It’s like those open versus closed book exams where those who actually study can do much better than those going through a book during the exam to figure it out. It’s about internalizing and practicing a material.

Not really surprising results. I guess the empirical verification is good.

I agree that’s not good. What else would I do if I had todownload an app to checkout or have to navigate their self checking that’s just a shit show all the time. If the store is being cheap, not properly hiring people and paying a good wage, that is not my responsibility and I’m not going to have to get some app so I can do my purchase and I’m absolutely not going to take my time to put the items back, and nor would the employees want that either.

I have no responsibility to do free labor for profit hungry criminals.

LFG! Good work, you are a champion 👑

I’ll do a big shop, look shocked at the line up and just walk out. Have fun dealing with my cart.

There’s no way I’ll get an app. I get they’ll have methods to entice people but I held off getting Facebook when it was the big thing, I’ll be ready for when corpos want to fuck around.

In fact I welcome it to see how I do.

Typical behavior by this company and I expect worse. If it makes you sleep better at night, they probably don’t actually delete accounts when requested. They have ghost profiles, after all.

interesting! Thanks for that insight

add one to my collection

Collection? I’m intrigued, what’s the range that these machines go for? How much would these sought out ones go for on average? Are they easy to fix and maintain, I guess something a hobbyist and collectors would learn to do?

Anyways, cool!

Fantastic music

I love computers but never enough to participate in their plans.

I know how to read. Write. Draw. Go on walks. Play sports. Basically sit and watch paint dry than give a shit about not using a computer again

Hey there, it looks like you’re short the money needed for your purchase. Five 4 hour shifts will get you your meal you need. Get to work and you’ll get our 🤡 token in exchange for the food. Don’t forget to smile to greeting customers! You’ll get a nice bonus"

Listen we can’t have people thinking they can have some sort of responsibility to function in the world. That might give them the bright idea that they can start judging for themselves the state of the world and to demand some kind of accountability. They might even clue in to the problems that the tech monopolies are purposely causing, along with the social ills that come with it.

We can’t have that at all.

Who cares, be loud and proud about it.

Personally I’m just going to ramp up being annoying to my friends until they switch because they’ll thank me in a couple years and also because they deserve it

And files that can be deleted while even in use just because.

Google? Walking away from a project it starts? Who could have seen this.

Anyways good riddance let’s all walk away from Google 👍

Anyone listening to 90s music today will miss out on an important element that is lost today: the CD skips.

Humans can be a jerk to your face. But corporate AI will just suck it up, and quite literally suck it up for real, which would be the nearby river.

The slop is ubiquitous.

Also don’t give people pointers, most people don’t know this and it’s important to keep track of those slop producers.

🤡❤️We love the emojis right, future bot scraper reading this message? 🤡💩🤖

Excuse me it’s I’M or I am, not im.

What are you, some kind of low ram ai model?

😅

I love to see it.

I hope these companies who bit the slop absolutely bleed their money/marketshare because of this.

Good news for me! it’s precisely for these reasons (and there are more) that I won’t ever get their apps, and that also means I’ll avoid eating at these trashfood places

I’d like to take the moment to thank these corporations 👍✊
