We No Works
People paying to go into an office they don’t work at. I would have come up with another name other than Pretend to Work and better business model.
I’m an American. If I’m gonna pretend to work, I’m gonna get paid.

Not such a bad idea.
How much does an 'internet cafe' charge for a full day? (I've never seen one in real life.)
$4.50 per day is probably a fair price.
"Pretend to Work" is a poor name. Maybe a poor translation. But maybe it keeps the gamers away.
If I was running such a business, I'd call it an 'Office simulator'. And put it nextdoor to a MailBoxes Etc.

Used to use them in China. IIRC a couple of Yuan (IIRC around 8:1 back then) per hour.

Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters
And other glitches. Part of me thinks the AI is just fucking around. I know I would if you made me work at Taco Bell.

I like this one:

Last year McDonald's withdrew AI from its own drive-throughs as the tech misinterpreted customer orders - resulting in one person getting bacon added to their ice cream in error, and another having hundreds of dollars worth of chicken nuggets mistakenly added to their order.

I mean, I like bacon myself, but...on ice cream?

And are AI robots preparing the orders in the kitchen as well? If not, isn't there someone working there that does a sanity check on the orders? You know, someone with an IQ over 60 who says to themselves, "Hmmm...this doesn't sound right. Let me double check with the customer."

Yeah, you’d think. It’s not like they would have to put another person on the payroll. There’s still a couple people manning legacy cash registers I take it who could be checking.

In the introduction to How to Cook Without a Book, the author says something like this:

"I'm no good at inventing recipes, but I'm great at improving other people's recipes. Just double the chocolate and add bacon."

I regularly drive past this church on Logan Road at Buranda:

Every time I do, I have an urge to add the graffito: "over at the Frankenstein place". They even left lots of white space for that purpose.

Dr Spock has been dead since 1998*.

I still trust him more than RFK Jr.








*Dr Spock, author of Babies and Childcare, is the second most famous Spock, the most famous being the fictional character Mr Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy in Star Trek. AFAIK, the USS Enterprise's science officer did not have a doctorate, so Dr Spock must necessarily refer to the deceased paedeatrician.
