I know people who have paid list prices for drugs because their insurance wouldn’t cover them.

I think with the amount of corporations and existing homeowners buying homes that the demand is strong enough to keep prices high no matter what happens. There are billions of dollars set aside to gobble up homes in the event of a price drop. In my area, 20 percent of homes are owned by investors and realtors delist homes that don’t sell as opposed to drop price.

So far the agentic stuff seems focused on shopping. Online shopping is remarkably seamless and optimized for me so the potential productivity gain is not enticing.

I’ve encountered a number of errors dealing with LLMs so would be wary of the results.

I also think there’d be an incentive to enshittify by having vendors pay to get preferential prioritization from the LLM. This could result in worse products being delivered for higher prices.

Technologically and mathematically this is all quite interesting. However, I have no desire to ever use an agent and I doubt there are many that will.

In my experience the people who can afford everything are often the ones looking to pay the least at all times.

I disagree. The large corporations in total own hundreds of thousands of homes in their portfolios. The value of renting or selling can be boosted significantly by introducing scarcity on the margins between supply and demand. A vacancy of a small percentage of the portfolio can ensure the rest of the portfolio is worth much more.

To elaborate a little further, it’s not necessarily the act of having it sit empty but rather keeping the pricing high regardless of whether the property stays empty. That becoming industry standard becomes a recipe for pricing spiraling out of control, at least for a bit of time.

The algorithm would create scarcity by having some sit empty.

How much progress do you think is possible only using dietary adjustments and getting a couple hours of sunshine per day?

I wonder how well they identify posts written via AI (and what proportion of posts that is). Also, there is a ton of misleading astroturfing for some types of businesses.

Will you maintain the perspective in the midst of eternal incremental price increases and eventual ad placement?

Companies are trying. For many, return to office is impossible as it’s prevented by costs of living too high near offices, a spouse whose job requires a certain location, and children enrolled in school in a different location than office.

Recently I tried to purchase an exercise book to find that the printed copy released in 2013 was nowhere to be found new or used although I remember it being for sale as recently as last year. Instead there is only a kindle version available.

Only 18 months?

It’s easy, just gotta use AI /s

Are you claiming a lawsuit shouldn’t take place?

I agree that currency surveillance can be problematic but it’s a silly thing for bitcoin magazine to criticize as they provide neither currency nor privacy.

I disagree with this notion. Rental values are often controlled algorithmically. Given the low inventory of housing for sale, it’s possible for the monopolists to purchase the new homes and use vacancy in order to maintain higher levels of pricing for the portfolio by artificially controlling the supply levels.

Just call yourself a manager and get paid more to not understand it.

And of course fintech
