I don’t know the details of this study but it sounds like a basic result if you get people to rely on something for most of an activity and then you take it away vs those who are doing it manually, they’ve been given more progressively difficult challenges but they’ve been actually practicing and doing the work and hence internalizing it better.

It’s like those open versus closed book exams where those who actually study can do much better than those going through a book during the exam to figure it out. It’s about internalizing and practicing a material.

Not really surprising results. I guess the empirical verification is good.

I agree that’s not good. What else would I do if I had todownload an app to checkout or have to navigate their self checking that’s just a shit show all the time. If the store is being cheap, not properly hiring people and paying a good wage, that is not my responsibility and I’m not going to have to get some app so I can do my purchase and I’m absolutely not going to take my time to put the items back, and nor would the employees want that either.

I have no responsibility to do free labor for profit hungry criminals.

I’ll do a big shop, look shocked at the line up and just walk out. Have fun dealing with my cart.

There’s no way I’ll get an app. I get they’ll have methods to entice people but I held off getting Facebook when it was the big thing, I’ll be ready for when corpos want to fuck around.

In fact I welcome it to see how I do.

Typical behavior by this company and I expect worse. If it makes you sleep better at night, they probably don’t actually delete accounts when requested. They have ghost profiles, after all.

I mean, you’re fooling yourself if you don’t believe Lemmy has been scrapped by a thousand crawlers by now.

That’s why we’re here. To fu k with the scrapers and poison the training 🙃

I love computers but never enough to participate in their plans.

I know how to read. Write. Draw. Go on walks. Play sports. Basically sit and watch paint dry than give a shit about not using a computer again

Hey there, it looks like you’re short the money needed for your purchase. Five 4 hour shifts will get you your meal you need. Get to work and you’ll get our 🤡 token in exchange for the food. Don’t forget to smile to greeting customers! You’ll get a nice bonus"

Listen we can’t have people thinking they can have some sort of responsibility to function in the world. That might give them the bright idea that they can start judging for themselves the state of the world and to demand some kind of accountability. They might even clue in to the problems that the tech monopolies are purposely causing, along with the social ills that come with it.

We can’t have that at all.
