I think the worst types of people are pedants who take everything literally, and then for some reason get mad about being told to put their shopping cart back

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•what's something you believe strongly but have little knowledge about
5·1 year agoBasically everyone has little knowledge about the vast majority of things. People who have strong beliefs generally think they have good evidence for them (even if what they think is clearly untrue and their evidence is nonsensical).
I’ve heard of “appeal to authority” and such, but at the end of the day I think that it’s generally sensible to just believe the mainstream expert consensus on something until you’re given good evidence otherwise, especially if you’re dealing with hard science.
Of course it’s ideal to know more about a topic than basic things you were told and took as fact and this should be paired with some level of media literacy and critical thinking, though.

Technology@lemmy.world•Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticketEnglish
191·1 year agoDelta accomplishes this pricing through a partnership with Fetcherr, a six-year-old Israeli company that also counts Azul, WestJet, Virgin Atlantic, and VivaAerobus as clients. And it has its sights set beyond flying. “Once we will be established in the airline industry, we will move to hospitality, car rentals, cruises, whatever,” cofounder Robby Nissan said at a travel conference in 2022.
So soon even more AI will decide you have to pay more, and that extra money will be going to Israel, no doubt helping to fund their genocide
Just because it’s low compared to other CEOs doesn’t make it reasonable and justified. Also, Wikipedia isn’t a “high-profile firm”. It’s (at least supposed to be) a non-profit that takes donations to keep the site running and free.
