Strong rizz in that second one

Not quite, I don't think. Enshittification is driven by profit motive, which means if there's no money at all involved, then there's no motive.

I guess you chose your words carefully though because the terms 'product' and 'service' pretty much imply that money is involved somewhere there.

Totally. There's really no point in using anything /except/ per capita!

The worrying truth is that we are all going to be subject to these sorts of false correlations and biases and there will be very little we can do about it.

You go to buy car insurance, and find that your premium has gone up 200% for no reason. Why? Because the AI said so. Maybe soneone with your name was in a crash. Maybe you parked overnight at the same GPS location where an accident happened. Who knows what data actually underlies that decision or how it was made, but it was. And even the insurance company themselves doesn't know how it ended up that way.

Yep.

I love tech, as long as it's tech that I have full control over.

What don't you like about Signal?

I've never been able to understand the mentality of individuals who find it "fun" to damage and destroy things. What about this is entertainment?

Can't get my head around it.

Yes, we've known this for ages already, it's nothing new. Return to office is about the office, not about the people.

Exactly.

If you have a workplace culture where you're emailing backwards and forwards calling the customers names and that's seen as totally acceptable workplace 'banter' then of course it's going to go wrong sooner or later.

The blame is equally as much on the management for allowing and normalising that behaviour, and the tribunal recognised that.

Kinda wild that you could patent a super basic mechanic that pretty much anyone could come up with

Not seen Nagato in a while

Although, these stats are people who would consider giving up cars, among those who currently own one.

People who don't need a car and already don't have one won't appear in these figures

If you imagine the perfect fictional country, then for that country the bar chart should theoretically be at 0% - because that would mean everyone who doesn't need a car doesn't have one, and anyone who does own a car needs it very strictly for jobs only a car can do, no matter how good the transport infrastructure and planning and zoning are.
