One issue I’ve heard is if a restaurant chooses not to use the service someone else can set up a page in their name without permission, and the platforms often won’t do anything to prevent it. Then confused delivery drivers start to show up, and customers complain to the restaurant about the markups/high pricing even when the restaurant is not actually involved at all.

On top of all that, many people just use delivery apps to find local restaurants, so you lose a lot of visibility if you aren’t listed, but for that one you can argue it’s in fact paying for the service you get (i.e. marketing).

Seems to me just specifying that it’s a software recall would be a good balance.

I find it a bit suspect that the article claims this comes directly from the devs but provides no quotes or links to a statement, but hopefully it’s true, and the article is just bad. Seems to be an annoying trend in journalism these days to not link to sources.

If nothing else though, Argo Tuulik’s blog post for Summer Eternal is worth a read. I love his writing style, and that post is unreasonably funny to me, but you can still tell there is a lot of meaning behind what he says. I suppose things hit hardest when presented in ridiculous over the top metaphor.

A corporation running a nuclear reactor to train AIs might just be the most cyberpunk news headline I’ve ever seen.
