It‘s crazy what you can get away with if you‘re bold enough.
That’s the key to con(fidence) men. If you state anything confidently enough, some number of rubes will believe you.

might be complete garbage code or might work fine, total toss up.

Many state that the “AI hallucinates 30% of the time”. I really appreciate the observation of someone else online who observed, “No, it hallucinates 100% of the time, only sometimes the output happens to be useful.”

‘I don’t think we should have billionaires’

Half of America’s trailer-park residents pass out because he dared to attack our beloved billionaires. “But what about when we become billionaires!?!”

The reason we have had to deal with this over the centuries is half our population is authoritarian. The idea that someone can punch up as a violation of the laws of man.

Just ask ChatGPT when’s the best time to short your AI stocks. Sheesh. I can’t believe how dumb you non-AIs are!

Steal it. I did.

“If hard work made you rich, all donkeys would be millionaires.”

After your internet is shut, you’ll be forced to buy Google Prison Internet, where you’re surveiled 24/7 and you’re only allowed to download ads.

The key is to tell your audience something they wish would be true.

“Honey, you know what would really tie this room together? A giant electronic advertising billboard!”

Yes, but my lame “It’s a glitch in the Matrix” jokes might make one person laugh.

AI-generated waterfall.

In a down market, shift your focus towards a group that’s even more financially literate than the general public. Nice strategy.

Just looking at the thumbnail, I assumed the person was going to have 6 finger and thumbs on the outside.

We would all be better off replacing CEOs with AIs. They’re both simply confident bullshitters.
People keep thinking CEOs are leaders. They actually PR hucksters who get paid a lot of money to pump stock by lying.

Perhaps keeping an old phone for purposes of doing this scanning thing might be ideal.
That’s an excellent idea!

all grocers have a ‘cashier’ desk where you get lottery tickets.
Ha! Great observation. There’s no way in hell stores are going to give up on gambling cash. :-)

I would actually install the vendor’s phone app if they built in this functionality instead of having these terminals.
I think you’re right, but I dread it. I avoid installing apps. The thought of installing even more tracking for multiple vendors annoys me.
Although I am resistant, your point about bagging once is a true benefit.
One downside, that system doesn’t seem to support cash.

Good point. A US department store chain – Kohl’s – has been using electronic shelf labels that change several times per day. Not sure how they handle the discrepancies. How do I prove the product was prices $1 when I picked it up if the label now says $2? Is it my responsibility to notice the register price was different?

I more or less avoided Kohl’s, so I’m not sure how that was handled.

I saw demos online where they could also determine heart rate through video. The example I saw was a video of a newborn’s face.

I’ve heard of similar, but how exactly does this work? Does it say $0.99 on the shelf and the receipt winds up being $1.50?
