Why are food brands doing so much work to push people to their apps? Collecting panel data on user preferences will allow AI to drive price discrimination through the roof. We will soon be (already are) in a world where two users picking up orders at McDonald’s are facing completely different offers
AI explodes the scope for price discrimination.

Just look at this quote.

if i've learned one thing from doing union stuff while also doing other forms of organizing, it's that you're better off with people you disagree with who are nevertheless trying to do the same thing as you than with people you agree with who aren't trying to do anything

Alabama’s infant mortality rate rises to seven-year high • Alabama Reflector
The increase was driven by a jump in the white infant mortality rate, which remains less than half the number for Black Alabamians.

Chilling.

Internal email that led to identifying Pete Hegseth as potential "Insider Threat" in National Guard.⬇️

It was clearly due to his tattoo "associated with Supremacist groups."

On air, Hegseth has FALSELY claimed the reason was for a different (religious) tattoo.

Wow, that's crazy. Has anyone noticed how gun violence has increased dramatically since RFK Jr. was born in the 1950s? Can't just be a coincidence.
