  • AI, tool for enshittification...

    From poindexter FORTRAN@21:4/122 to All on Thu Jul 31 16:25:24 2025

    A couple of new stories struck me --

    Delta Airlines is using AI, fed from your personal data harvested by data brokers and credit bureaus, to figure out the maximum you're willing to pay, and adjust their prices per-customer.

    Shiftkey, a gig app for nursing help, bases awarding hours by how many hours you don't work waiting for them to call. And, the pay scale is based on unregulated data and credit scores. The more of a risk you are, the lower they pay.

    Then, add on junk fees and the value to the worker drops even further.



    I want to move to a village and barter with my local villagers.

    Meh.. I don't like some of the stuff companies are doing these days.

    I am likely downgrading my Delta Gold Amex to Amex Green if things get worse by next June.
