  • I see it all the time even here on Lemmy. Americans love to wade into international communities and act like the US perspective always applies.

    A recent example would be a discussion in a UK community about upgrading ANPR cameras to catch ghost plates, but a couple of yanks decided to pop in and get angry about Flock cameras, despite the fact that ANPR tech has been around without controversy for decades here.

    It’s not ALL Americans, obviously, but it’s enough of them that it’s a known issue.


















  • To be fair, it’s not a great test. I’ve worked in customer support before and if we deviated from the prewritten, legal-approved script we’d get disciplined for putting the company at risk. That’s what you get in a world where people threaten lawsuits at the drop of a hat.

    (That said, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Uber have replaced all their support staff with AI.)
