Enjoyed this paper “Does Uber Surge Pricing Decrease,
Not Increase, Ride Availability?” by
William H. Press. It’s possible for Uber, as market makers, to maximise their profit by restricting supply of vehicles at times of high demand. Suggested solution: display fare paid by passenger and fee paid to driver to both parties. numerical.recipes/whp/notes/Ub… @pluralistic #capitalism

What was predicted. AI action models. The next step is to link discounts to advertising consumption. And you can be sure that the adverts will also be viewed very attentively. Eyes and faces are tracked by AI. Inattention is not counted. Poor people only get discounts if they have watched the adverts attentively. Rich people can simply buy anything just like so.


cheaper, less power hungry AI option shaved $1.1 trillion off the stock market. lmao. lol.

“Microsoft to install facial-recognition technology in stores, which could be used to identify individual customers: When a shopper approaches the shelf, she would see a price calibrated specifically for her. The next shopper might pay a different amount based on their profile. Retailers could use shopper data to charge higher prices to those who can afford to pay more.”

Remember folks, you must give Meta/Facebook/Threads every benefit of the doubt.

Invite them to partner with you at the Social Web Foundation (socialwebfoundation.org) as you courageously fight to #FreeOurFeeds¹

Federate with them on mastodon.social. Because why not build an adjoining door to a Nazi bar?

You must do all this and more to ensure you legitimise them at every turn. After all, you wouldn’t want to prove Mark Zuckerberg wrong about you or anything, would you?²

Your reminder that while #Bluesky is all fun and games now, but that it won't last. This is also a reminder that #socialmedia becomes enshittified because of #capitalism, but non-profit social media exists, it's the #Fediverse and you really should start having a presence there too.
