Housefly larvae casing. They’re like 8mm long right?

Cattle retention has not even begun yet, you’re absolutely correct. There will be 2+ more years of higher beef prices, we’re still slaughtering more than are being born therefore cattle prices will continue to rise on a macro level.

They’ve tried. Wendy’s QSCC has tried. Walmart is trying. It’s hard to be a beef packer. You have to sell the rest of the animal too, and now you’re just a filthy beef packer yourself. Also sadly impossible to interface with ranchers direct, still must be fed out at a feed yard.

OP didn’t say it, but Amazon also forces agreements with sellers not to list same items cheaper elsewhere online which is monopolistic.

I get the nuance you are communicating though.

Taken too literally to this post in a vacuum, yes. Taken with the news that Kroger was thinking about dynamic pricing, don’t delude yourself into thinking LLMs are the extent of what the “AI” (stupid term but let’s discuss ideas and not the words) goals are. The real ultimate goal is to be able to mine the near infinite amount of consumer data available and turn that into increased profits. Dynamic pricing will be a piece of it and I believe this cartoon illustrates a piece of a complex subject in an easy to digest manner.

You and I both agree that LLMs aren’t shit except for a narrow window of usefulness, mainly a distraction, and the data shows consumers don’t really like “AI”. So why is there still so much cash in “AI”? Maybe you think it’s a market pump, but there is cash in nvda because it’s undeniable GPUs will continue to be utilized in huge numbers for server farms crunching associations. There is cash in the LLM gatekeepers because those firms are large enough and far enough along the path to eventually do what filthy capitalists want with this data. First it was algorithms that prioritized engagement at any cost. Today it is LLMs. And tomorrow it is machine learning on your data and subconscious psychology in order to extract maximum profit possible from you. They’ve milked data-based advertising to the point of diminishing returns and the next step is to exploit us all using the data most make freely available out of convenience so that line continue to go up. I sure hope I’m wrong, but I’m a filthy fucking capitalist and don’t think that’s the case.

Hope to fuck we instill decent judges across this country in the coming years because honestly our best hope is to outlaw most of these practices by showing that they can’t be free of unintended bias and are therefore inherently not objective enough to be used to set prices, etc. it works in a physical store but how do you prevent dynamic pricing online? Especially with an internet that looks like it will become extremely segmented

This is why so much money is being pumped into AI. This is the future and our politicians are too old to understand any of it. It isn’t sentience you should be worried about folks.

You can tell most of the comment section never reads past the headline

It’s administered by the DEA but the HHS actually makes recommendations and has recently recommended it be rescheduled to schedule III. There is no history of the DEA rejecting a rescheduling recommendation so things look good for this to change fairly soon!

That just calculated 16oz*.4 but should be *.004 for .4% so it’s actually 0.064oz/lb, or 1.8grams/lb. 1 in 250 particles.

+1 for Loop. They have a variety of dB levels and fit super well. I have Eargasm also and they work great but don’t fit in my ears as well and hurt after wearing them for hours. No issues at all with Loop.
