    They could really microtarget prices if they have the data. Know there’s going to be a party? Jack up the prices of those customer’s favorite drinks and snacks. Know a customer is having a bad day? Jack up the price of their comfort foods.

        The lousy writing around my-hero and AI is a giveaway that we’re in a late season episode.

      when you go to complain that your lifestyle has arbitrarily risen in price 30% the little eichmans of the internet will dogpile you saying its a ‘skill issue’ you didnt sign up for all the apps, reward programs and coupons. that your lifestyle is actually bad and you should change it to save money. that you’re a unhinged conspiracy theorist for thinking the “debunked” price flexibility programs are there to rip you off

      This is the exact type of thing Surveillance Capitalism warns us about. Everyone on Earth needs to read that book like 10 years ago.
