    Is the near future going to involve "gig" work where someone that has the calipers-heeding ability to get lower prices buys things for other people, for a fee?

      It'd actually be this tbh. Crackkkers love their apple devices and companies charge more if they detect the user is on an iPhone or Mac

      $$$$ - white/EA/Indian

      $$$ - rest of POC

        With facial recognition couldn't you do fico check and adjust prices accordingly?

          That would be insanely costly to do

          Also credit scores don't correlate to income

          Lots of high income people are in hella credit card debt and lots of low income people are very careful of their credit score because they need every little financial advantage they can get

              Impressive, I only paid with credit cards, never missed any payments for years and hovered low 700s the entire time until I was late on one payment and I dropped almost 100 points when I checked 3 months later lmao

          The one I do tolerate is the soprano ad on life is too short. That was funny as hell. Someone described it as comforting to a blind man, terrifying to a deaf man. Yours just reminded me of that lmfao

        With that high pitched ping ping ping sound in the background. agony-turbo I'm starting to understand what frieza went through in HFIL. Its still fuck him though. When I send him back there the only chance of release is xeno wiping out this reality.

    This is the true power of automation. Without the human element it is much easier to advance a racist agenda and enact racist policies.

      there was fucking wild story i saw on science twitter (can't find it again though, maybe it was revealed to me in a dream for now level of trustworthiness), that some presenting woman image was enhanced with subtle horniness via ai upscale, so we get objectification for a price one as well
