Sounds like another WeWork or Theranos in the making, except we already know the product doesn’t do what it promises.

So do I, and yes, that could happen.
However, according to the article, it’s been around six months now and is having a positive effect.
Realistically, with the robot having been around now almost six months, I’m more willing to consider that the locals have noticed a difference in their experience going shopping. That’s more than enough time to notice the kind of changes the locals appear to have experienced since they stopped relying on the police.
If I didn’t have friends who need so much financial help, I’d buy it too.
Good. Kick Nintendo in the dick.
Does kind of look like one, doesn’t it?
TBH, I trust a security robot way, way more than I trust the KCPD at this point.
Our police are state-controlled and don’t seem to give a damn about locals, and they’ve shown themselves to be completely inept to stem the stream of burglaries and theft that’s occurred in the city over the past year. My own car got ripped off less than a year ago, forcing me to have to replace a window, but that’s small potatoes compared to what many others are experiencing.
The Fediverse is as close as I’ve gotten to Internet the way it used to be, and I donate to the instances I use in order to keep it that way. I wish everyone would.
MASSIVELY infuriating.
I’d say it’s ironic, but given their history, it’s really not.
It wasn’t that long ago that Donald Trump ordered mail drops removed, and Louis DeJoy ordered post offices shut down, and sorting machines removed from USPS distribution centers.
That was objectively the biggest voter fraud ever committed.
I gave one example above, but the short answer is, people have tried to find it and haven’t succeeded.
Like Bigfoot.
Agreed. I can’t see undocumented people risking their lives trying to vote.
You’re right. They’re trying to gin up the specter of voter fraud in case they lose. No one voting Republican needs proof anyway.
Years ago the ACLU actually had Kris Kobach’s records on voter fraud cases from when he was KS Attorney General. I pored over them, and over fifteen years of reports he prosecuted something like ten cases affecting even fewer votes.
And that’s a guy who built his whole career around voter fraud. Even he couldn’t produce evidence that it actually existed.
Those records may still be on the ACLU’s website if any of you want to take a look.
You’re right about that.
I’d argue that Brave is the best way. The adblock is seamless and requires no add-ons, and you retain the full functionality of the site.
I’ve been reading a book about Elizabeth Holmes and the Theranos scam, and the parallels with Gen AI seem pretty astounding. Gen AI is known to be so buggy the industry even created a euphemistic term so they wouldn’t have to call it buggy: Hallucinations.

I canceled my Prime membership earlier this year because of that decline in quality. I wish everyone could, but thanks to the loss of retail throughout the country many can’t afford not to have it.
