> The practice — supported by artificial intelligence and known as dynamic pricing or surveillance pricing — can lead to two consumers paying different amounts for the same item from the same retailer, at roughly the same time.

Is an if-statement considered AI?

So membership discounts should be banned?

> Scientists who might have come to the US three years ago have little reason to do so now.

Been saying that about EU and China for decades now.

Yet the top European and Chinese still come to the US. Even in April 2026.

> Let's see how long it takes before the big US AI companies start lobbying to outright ban use of Chinese AI, even the open source / local models. For "national security" reasons, of course.

> The US supports the genocide in Gaza, it supports the bombing of Lebanon. The US itself has now started (another) war and bombed Iran.

> With Trump they are now openly hostile to European democracies, and ICE and doing their best at repression within the US.

> Better this than slinging Tomahawks at school children.

I’d rather the one be slinging tomahawks, than the one receiving tomahawks because my country decided to reduce military spending.

You don’t need profit to offset the losses.

You can simply reduce spending / expenses.

> When it becomes a bigger problem, other indices with higher quality controls will out compete the current ones and be used by asset managers seeking safety

> Hi Nick, your software is a horrendous encroachment on users' privacy and its quality is subpar to those of us who know what we're working with. We don't use your product here.

It’s ok, OpenAI is cooked.

Feel bad for anyone who joined OAI in the past 12 months. Their RSU ain’t going to be worth much later this year. IPO is too late.
