  • I mean this is the obvious use case for AI, you know they have those digital price tags in supermarkets it’s perfect for this to combine with AI so depending who is looking at this price tag it changes, but in a way so you don’t see it changing. I’m not saying it’s already implemented but it’s the obvious thing to do.

    Online it’s already much easier to do because you’re logged in to Amazon with your purchase history, etc. and you are the only one looking at the price tag, so no real need for AI there, but in a physical shop it will also be introduced, just like McDonald is ‘pioneering’ here.

    They should never released Black Mirror, too many dystopian ideas there.

    Where in the world are you?

    I also need to find a job but I’m in the situation that I can’t choose because I’m in Korea and don’t speak Korean and I have a very narrow stream of companies I even can apply who don’t require Korean.

    I think in Europe it’s still not as crazy as in the US when it comes to AI stuff. Smaller companies probably let you choose more than big ones, as long as you can deliver in time.






  • This is also why alcohol, which is a way more harmful drug to others than all of the illegal drugs[1], is legal.

    [1] https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21036393/

    Findings: MCDA modelling showed that heroin, crack cocaine, and metamfetamine were the most harmful drugs to individuals (part scores 34, 37, and 32, respectively), whereas alcohol, heroin, and crack cocaine were the most harmful to others (46, 21, and 17, respectively). Overall, alcohol was the most harmful drug (overall harm score 72), with heroin (55) and crack cocaine (54) in second and third places.










  • I’m from Silesia which is now part of Poland after the WWII. All my grand parents were born in Germany and then the borders moved and the land became polish.

    But it’s more complicated, because my ancestors were fighting against both the polish and the Germans to make Silesia an independent nation, but they failed. Two of my great grandfathers ended up in concentration camps because of that, one in Auschwitz and another one in Dachau.

    When my dad started going to achool he spoke Silesian, a mix of polish and German which was usual there. His parents were called to the principal countless times that they have to do something about it because German was not allowed in school.

    When my grandfathers sister who lived in Germany because she fled there - came to visit him they spoke German at the bus station because she didn’t speak polish. Someone called the police and my grandfather spent two weeks in jail for this.

    When I started to go to school, it was still forbidden to learn German, so I was supposed to learn Russian instead.

    My parents finally had the possibility to flee to Germany and only there 1989 we all started to learn the language of our ancestors, two generations later.

    Still to this day the polish government is afraid of the separatistst movement in Silesia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silesian_independence

    China has the exact same problem as Poland. Before Xi they have been quite relaxed with it. My wife was born into a Korean family in north east China, she didn’t speak Chinese until middle school. They had their own identity, Korean schools, Shops, etc, no integration needed.

    But separatism is dangerous for countries, it brings a lot of problems, fighting, security concerns, etc. It’s just easier and more harmonic if everyone pulls to the same direction. Poland crushed the German identity by constantly putting people into jail and making it impossible to live a normal life and by mixing the rest of the german population who for whatever reason couldn’t flee to Germany after WWII. And they did so very successfully I might add. Now Xi is learning from this success and doing the same with their minorities.
