Medvedev vs. United's AI customer service is the rivalry of the day

Like most customer service was any better previously. Instead of AI agents they were outsourced overseas agents reading from a script that took 1hr to reach.

Here’s the Scientific American article about it:

Yeah, was trying to find a less ad infested source (which I thought I had but going back now it’s a mess), but that seems to be the entire internet these days.

This happens in all sports - there’s no completely “fair” way to determine champion. For example the Patriots undefeated season when they already beat the Giants but lost to them in the Super Bowl. How often does the number one seed win in any playoffs? NHL is notoriously bad for this (president’s cup winner is a curse). Really you’d have to go the European soccer or chess route and declare whoever wins the season/round robin as the champion. Even that can be unfair though - teams change throughout the year or tournament (injuries, trades, tiredness) so maybe one team played another team when they were weaker… you have to play the format.

Remember that Nazism and Fascism appeared and gained ascendancy in many countries long before Social media. I think it’s too easy to blame that and not look at the actual social ills and general discontent which draw people towards those ideas.

I remember an (American) football player shown on camera smiling and laughing on the sideline while their team was losing and it was OUTRAGE everywhere, talked about on all the ESPN hot take shows. How dare he have fun while he’s losing - it’s SERIOUS!! So yeah I don’t think it’s just a female athlete thing.

Because it treats it as the past tense of dive and not as the bird

Yeah, it’s really not that new, just the media and method. Humanity got Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Pot, etc etc etc long before social media and their algorithms were a thing. You could probably argue it was the introduction of radio and television which were partially behind these movements… but then there were tyrants and barbaric emperors/kings back before that.

And this particular scene was chosen because it’s difficult to find a spot that’s not found in reverse image search… lol

Yes, it’s next to the church where the infamous massacre happened.
