If the court hand found any other way, then any time the chatbot makes a mistake, they just wash their hands of it and let the consumer takes the hit.

It would have been just a matter of time the chatbot started making “mistakes” that financially benefitted the company more and more.

This means they are responsible for what the chatbot says, and is at least moderately sane.

Does this decision carry any precedent? It was a tribunal, not a court.

They’re not fighting for the $800. They’re fighting for the right to continue to use their shitty chatbot to reduce their support staff costs while not being liable for any bullshit it tells people.

There will be cases like this in every jurisdiction.

This is just a less gross version of “DAE store their piss in jars so they can commemorate their unitary secretions”?

If you’re using the android Auto app then I don’t see how the OS even matters. You can turn off Google location services but I’ve never tried that with android Auto.

You have to sacrifice something. It’s generally not possible to use cloud-based services while maintaining total privacy - at least not in a way that’s convenient.

Here’s what you can do - get a car with minimal tech built into it’s head unit. Get a new head unit and get a car audio shop to swap it out for you. This will void your car warranty if it’s new, but some HUs have navigation built in (not Internet dependent ) and support simple Bluetooth .

If you want full Android Auto capability then idk if it’s even possible to meet all your stated requirements.

But that’s the reason we have it. The US would destroy our market.

Tariffs take care of that. American dairy isn’t magic - it’s just subsidized. Dairy tariffs will prevent American dairy from destroying our market. We ourselves don’t have to subsidize it to the same extent the Americans do. Right now if you want to go into dairy farming your best option is to inherit a dairy farm. Barring that the barrier to entry for you to be able to legally milk a cow and sell the milk is absolutely massive. If you want to create higher quality milk? Well too bad it’ll all get pooled anyways. SM is the most heavy handed way to manage any market and it’s fundamentally unnecessary.

You suggest SM is not a good idea but you don’t point out an alternative, beggaring the question.

Because I’ve had this discussion ad nauseum. The idea that there’s literally no alternative to SM for dairy only makes sense if you carefully ignore every other country.

Surely you don’t think the American super-capitalist market-forces brochure bait is better.

I don’t know what you think the Americans do, but what they actually do is heavily subsidize their dairy industry (tens of billions) which drives down costs of dairy and causes their industry to oversupply which means they have lots of cheap milk (some of it of dubious quality) to export . If a country simply opens their market to American dairy without restrictions, it often leads to local industry getting wiped out as a result.

I am not suggesting we open our market in this way, nor is any sane person. But the subsidy model is better than SM. It’s less heavy-handed, allows for new entrants into the market, and we can open our borders with caveats (tariffs on subsidized dairy, quality rules). Plenty of countries do it.

The dairy lobby here is more powerful than the gun lobby in the US. It’s so powerful that both major parties fully support SM no matter what, and when leadership races happen candidates usually have to commit to maintaining SM during the process. It’s so powerful that all the shills that come up with arguments defending SM don’t even have to try - every argument they make is bullshit but it doesn’t matter because their victory is total.

There are certainly vegetarian MREs. Idk about vegan. Given the compromises to taste that is made with any MREs it shouldn’t be too difficult to develop with substitutes for all animal products.

Isn’t there an ongoing strike at Loblaws distribution centres?

Sounds like a great time to issue a sale on products that you know you won’t have to actually sell at the discounted price, and then blame it on the union.

The list goes on, it just frustrates me when people scream “racism” and try to shut down any intelligent + nuanced discussion of the tough facts inherent to the case.

That probably happened because you’re the one who brought his race into it and then failed to show how that is relevant.

Isn’t it pretty well known that what we now call the Pythagorean theorem was well known by various older civilizations? Anybody think the builders of the great pyramid didn’t understand that concept in some form?

High speed rail in the Montreal to Toronto corridor is a no brainer. Using conventional HSR technology (not 600kmh maglev shit) the time to get from Toronto to Montreal could be brought down to 2 hrs. Anything close to that would eliminate the flights on that route completely, with a much smaller carbon footprint.

Even that doesn’t make sense. It’s not like they caught the murderers , unless I missed something. Walking up to someone in a free country and shooting them isn’t that hard, especially with state-level resources.

Why are you like this?
