The food is likely to avoid the public humiliation of getting booed at or thrown out of a local restaurant.

I definitely used to love their fried clam platters as a kid. Not sure if I ever ordered anything else.

I've wondered! I was following but thought about unfollowing multiple times because at times the account seemed "off" and non-responsive. They were at times informative but your post caused me to unfollow.

Raphael Cruz is pushing for a "no state can gerrymander more than Texas" ruling, per his whining post about Virginia posted yesterday afternoon.

This video is from the CBC, the Canadian Broadcasting Company. Will be very interesting to see if NBC plays this in prime time tonight and acknowledges the enormous anti-Vance reaction...

from reddit 
Small business in England.

Website has a chat AI to help customers navigate the website and it can be used to log orders/take contact details from customers.

A customer was chatting with it and managed to convince the AI to give them a 25% discount, then he negotiated with the AI up to an 80% discount.

He then placed an order for thousands of pounds worth of stuff. Like, I'm going to be losing thousands on my material costs alone.

I've written to my customer to cancel it and they responded that they will be taking me to small claims court if I fail to honour the order. They've given me 3 days to respond.

Can I ignore this?

Already refunded.

Chatbot isn't supposed to be making financial decisions. It's supposed to be answering customer questions between 6pm and 9am when I'm not around.

It's worked fine for 6+ months, then this guy spent an hour chatting with it, talked it into showing how good it was at maths and percentages, diverted the conversation to percentage discounts off a theoretical order, then acted impressed by it.

The chatbot then generated him a completely fake discount code and an offer for 25% off, later rising to 80% off as it tried to impress him.

fwiw, for the description of how easily a nefarious user easily tricked a chatbot

That is amazing! And thank you for the info! My friend was also diagnosed stage IV. As I understand, it's very rare to get a clean colonoscopy and then 10 years later get diagnosed with stage IV.

Ohhh f this makes me so sad. A friend was just diagnosed last month. She had a colonoscopy at 50 and they told her she was clean and see ya in 10 years. I previously looked up 5-year survivor rates. I didn't see anything about the pain and I feel about to burst into tears.

Wow that's amazing info, at least to me. Sounds like crypto is teetering on the edge maybe esp due to increased processor, memory and electricity prices?

He means, "They were not Trump-Republicans." They were against pedophelia until they learned -- for sure -- that Trump was pro-pedophelia. Both now and in the 1970s.

I've not heard my wife say the "c" word in 25 years, literally it's never happened, but it all ended when we were force fed a melania promo on prime tv the other night.
