  1. Thinking more that direct inference, generative ai is skimming an ocean to construct an image of a pastiche that is both alienated from the source but also entirely dependent on it. It's one million monkeys on one million typewriters. Basically the death of the author's intent for what will amount to low value entertainment. Some of these ai types seem to think they'll be regaled with hollywood productions, when a wall-e future is most certain.

  2. I am fine with progressive-ism so long long as it pertains to biological modals. This also assumes our human sense of sapience to be a defining factor in terms of validity. A fan of a foreign culture is not required to assume the lived experience, because that's impossible. As an Asian I have adapted to four different lands, but I am the other in all cases. This is not just a cut and dry denial. A Peruvian born metizo in Canada will probably have distinct experiences from mine above those of their own individuality. My experiences with various members of different Korean diasporas like Australia, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, and the motherland offer broad experiences defined by their experience in their root origins, and as travellers in a third land. Culture and ethnicity is not to be defined by items and gestures. The history of any land is shaped by both natural and human events, along with internal and external factors that carry through along significant timelines. The people of those lands adopt that history and manifest it in their current life, towards their own future within their social net. That is where the corruption of appropriation is most damaging. You cannot subsume culture like consuming a fruit, or a book, or any particular THING. Culture is not a thing to grasp. It is a legacy of lineage, whether blood/land/psalm. You don't get to cut in the line.

    They also jack up the price so it cost double than it normally would. Imagine ordering a $7 pizza and then it cost $15 to get it delivered. If it was delivered from the pizza place they allegedly include the delivery fee in the price but it's generally not much.

     

    This should hurt Pizza Hut in the long run but never underestimate lazy people.

    Pretty much.

    Do most restaurants still have their own delivery driver anymore? Pretty much in my area (+200k population) everything is pretty much done by Skip the Dishes, Door Dash, or Uber Eats for fast food delivery. I think Dominos and a few independent Chinese restaurants still use their own, but that’s about it. Surprising to kinda see driver layoffs stateside, as I thought we were behind you guys. 

    I cannot emphasize enough how shit rideshares are for foodservice business.
