It has helped to improve on those issues though.
- Comment on Sony is testing dynamic pricing: one game - different prices on the PlayStation Store 1 week ago:
Next up: highly personalised dynamic pricing by analyzing your bank account, payment behaviour, your age, gender, location, your app and website interaction patterns, the color of your shit, the time spend on digital media and breathing, your credit score, your biometric data, whether you are white or a terrorist, your political voting behaviour, the number of hairs you have, your likely age of death, your medical and mental health history, your probability of being captivated by addictive patterns anf gambling mechanics, and maybe even your game collection, to maximize squeezing each and every last penny of your barely or even non-existent disposable income.

And now bring artificial neural networks, i.e., AI, into the picture to make it even more spicy.
- Comment on Dear Faith II 2 weeks ago:
Not using colors in scientific writing is discarding a valuable information channel and therefore inefficient. When you are already limited in the allowed word count, this can speed up conveying information and reduce cognitive strain on readers (and possibly yourself). So it’s a win-win.
This should not end in chaos though, where colours are more confusing than helpful.
The times when we had to print out each and every single page on a crappy black/white office printer are luckily becoming more and more a thing of the past. So even this is no longer a good reason to not use colours.

- Comment on really makes you think 2 months ago:
Different waters taste differently. Tap water taste differs from region to region. Bottled water tastes differently between brands and also compared to tap water. This is also caused by varying amounts of minerals.
If you think your sense of taste works fine, but can not tell taste differences in water, try making direct comparisons. Take some bottled water and some tap water (if it is safe for drinking whereever you live). Then take a sip, focus on the taste. Try making out differences. Repeat a couple of times.
If you still can’t make out any differences and you weren’t impatient, it might be worth training your sense of taste first, because water does have a flavour. - Comment on I love science 2 months ago:

Is your resume clearly AI generated? (Yes means I pass) If I can’t tell it’s AI, I don’t care.
What are your criteria to judge whether a resume was “clearly AI generated”?
Have you been at prior jobs for more than a year. One job less than a year is fine, more is a trend
How is that relevant? Especially if you do not know the reasons. Maybe someone had a bad luck streak and was very unhappy at the prior employers. Someone does not necessarily know things like these beforehand. That’s what probation periods are there for. Speaking of: there are multiple companies who hire people just for a short amount of time and fire them before the end of the probation. Basically exploiting the system. You will never be able to infer the real reasons just by looking at a piece of paper with a list of previous work experiences. You would need to talk to those people. Otherwise this selection criterion seems arbitrary.

- Comment on The Sensory Biology of Plants 3 months ago:
Just a little nitpick: vegans are omnivores too. Afaik, being omnivorous describes the biological ability to digest plant matter and meat (and fungi ). Voluntarily restricting ones diet for whatever reason does not remove this ability.

And use corporal punishment executed arbitrarily by everyone, because that’s what civilised people do and which has proven in various studies to be the most effective way of treating criminals. /s

- Comment on If A.I. is so fast and efficient, and CEOs are paid so much, why not replace CEOs with A.I.? 5 months ago:
This is possible and much easier than with the people who usually do the actual work that makes a company sucessfull.
For example, this chinese company has done it and performs very well: independent.co.uk/…/ai-ceo-artificial-intelligenc…

I’ve got a rejection notice after I was hired by the very same company. The reason was that someone forgot to mark the application as accepted, so the system automatically sent the rejection mail. That was confusing at first, but also funny.
- Comment on Efficiency! 5 months ago:
You seldomly do get the reason. Even if you’re asking. Because companies don’t want to provide ground for lawsuits. The reasons for rejection can be highly arbitrary and therefore not be justified. Even on a legal basis. So they won’t tell.
These application process dances are usually a highly defect and outdated approach to hiring anyway.
