Ticket Master has been using dynamic pricing for years at this point and while it is not exactly the same thing it's pretty close.

The airlines and travel industry has also dipped their toes in this before. It's why people used to say you should clear your cookies or use private browsing when checking prices because the presence of specific third party cookies could affect the prices you saw.

It won't, you can already see this happening in tons of industries and markets.

The glorious k shape economy means the middle of rapidly shrinking and all the money to be made is at the extremes of the spectrum. You can already see tons of brands increasing prices or pivoting away from non "luxury" offerings.

Soon there will only be Emirates and RyanAir and Delta doesn't want to be RyanAir.

People in software development who use AI to code don't realize how many white collar mid level admin people have started totally phoning it in using LLMs. I'm mildly curious to see how long they can ride this out.

I lot of these people just want a menu board. One of the things about being a designer is you have to have some taste and understanding of the field. This is just business owners who are trying to check a box and don't actually care. This is compounded by the fact that few small restaurant owners come at it from the 'restauranteur' side of the spectrum and usually come from the food side. This means design of anything is pretty far down the list.

Even if they were not recording from his perspective you have no idea what the stupid things are doing. You don't really control them, Meta does.

People hate when they identify AI slop.

When it's not in a context they are used to they don't even notice and are fine.

Currently I suspect this is greatest in restaurant menu board are art. At least that is where I notice it the most.

You joke but drunk drivers love those trucks.

Makes sense.

Hopefully the people cutting these down are not carrying their phones with them. Bluetooth and WiFi can be used to identify people.

If the Ukrainians can make a drone drop a grenade I'm sure someone can make one that can spray black paint at a lens or solar panel.

Software is easier because you can basically 'inspect the house' and the 'home inspector' via software.

Harder to do that with a house. Also a lot of different rules based on locality.
