  • Do you hold everything to such a standard?

    Stop lights are meant to direct traffic. If someone runs a red light, is the technology not working as it should?

    The technology here, using computer vision to automatically flag potential damage, needed to be implemented alongside human supervision - an employee should be able to walk by the car, see that the flagged damage doesn’t actually exist, and override the algorithm.

    The technology itself isn’t bad, it’s how hertz is using it that is.

    I believe the unfortunate miscommunication here is that when @Ulrich@feddit.org said the solution was brilliant, they were referring to the technology as the “solution”, and others are referring to the implementation as a whole as the “solution”


  • I legitimately think this is a thing.

    I suspect folks who grew up with door dash see it as a normalized service. I grew up poor before it was a thing, and even though I’m financially better now it’s only used when we’re absolutely pooped.

    There are just… So many more entrenched predatory services now that only serve to extract money more efficiently. All that klarna “buy now pay later” stuff? Absolutely deadly if someone doesn’t know how to budget.
