[@iumasz6088]

Sounds like a class action lawsuit in the making.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

My brother is recently retired police officer. The way he explained it is that they look for the license plate number and the vin and input it into their computer to see who or what owns it. If it’s a Waymo car it’s supposed to trace back to an owner. They’re supposed to contact the owner of the vehicle and inform them that the car was involved in an accident since the computers don’t always do that. The problem with that though is that one Waymo car can be traced to multiple owners. Some people will purchase multiple Teslas, for example, and rent them out for this very thing. Those cars are traced to the actual owner of the cars and the owner of the app. It’s annoying and it pisses cops off.

[@cupcakes7308]

​@mcrchickenluvr The company should be held responsible. That's a death machine on the road, and they need to be held accountable for their creation. I read not long ago that someone involved in an accident with a self-driving car was underneath the vehicle, which proceeded to drive over them and drag them for a short while. A human would have the object permanence to know the person was under the goddamn car and NOT drive.

I don't wanna put all the blame on parents because kids should know not to act like that especially in a public store, but not only is it the job of a parent to raise their kids to not misbehave like that, but also to stop them and teach them right if they start acting that way. Obviously kids are gonna be kids and kids don't necessarily like following rules, and obviously they should know better than to be that way, but it's up to the parents to teach them to not be that way, which many seem to be falling behind in doing as of late, leading to things like this happening

We've been yelled at by a few frustrated workers, and other employees had to open the app, location, and type in what we were looking for in order to help us.

Archaeologist here. Aside from the VR headsets at the Colosseum possibly being related to COVID restrictions, it's becoming more and more popular to include VR/3D reconstructions on archaeological sites, either on a touchscreen, in a movie, etc. Archaeologists put hard work into this. For Rome specifically, I know that in the Baths of Diocletian you could/can get a VR headset to walk around and see the Baths as they once were (it's very impressive). I'm assuming, though of course I can't say for sure, that the VR headsets show reconstruction(s) of what the Colloseum used to look like. Though, I think that tourists should also still look at what the colloseum looks like now, as that part of discovering the layers of history.

[@SamRK-1000]

The Louvre actually has Nintendo 3DS to do part of their self-guided tour. If the VR was to say “and make sure to go this way when you’re walking through” or did a quick little history lesson or debriefing attendees “please don’t touch walls as the oils in our hands can stain the stone; please keep your voice down for other people who are actively studying the Colosseum” then I would get it. But it does seem REALLY dystopian to have people in VR headsets sitting only a couple feet away from the actual colosseum. 😅

[@SamRK-1000]

And just to clarify, I don’t have a problem with VR, AR, or assistive technology for tourism. It’s a great way to debrief customers and tourists on how to be respectful, enjoy their time, and get the most out of their trip while following rules. However, if we’re going the direction of replacing real-life experiences with digital tours and calling it “good enough” then that is a concern. After reading some other comments clarifying that clip from the Colosseum, that clip was likely from 2020 COVID times, so I don’t think they’re doing that currently. And I wanted to clarifying, assistive technology for tourism would be great! (That way we don’t have another Jake Paul lets loose in Japan, films a dead body, leaves an octopus tentacle on the trunk of a taxi, and gets kicked out of a sacred temple for being a fricking prick. If someone was there to debrief him “hey please don’t yell or film in the temple, it’s a sacred area for Buddhists and even non-religious Japanese as it’s part of their culture” maybe he would’ve thought twice. But he still would’ve been disrespectful asf!!!)

@@jaylambert599There’s a general consensus about “people these days” being more aggressive, which I do agree with. The biggest cause of death in teenagers behind cancer and suicide is motor vehicles fatalities, something you have to deal with in most car dependent countries with “stroads”, most common in America with those 8 land wide streets with huge parking lots and no trees or sidewalks, neither functioning as a street or a road. This terrible infrastructure makes impossible to walk places, making you drive, and thus add one more car to the problem. And because teenagers can’t walk places we gave them cars to get around, and thus and adding more cars to the issues. I could go on a lot more about bad infrastructure but if you want to learn more watch the KZbinr “Not Just Bikes” During the… I’d like to around early 2000’s(?) there was a LOT of fear about kidnapping after it started spiking in numbers. Some say this spike was because of some illegal immigrants being big name human traffickers, others saying because of a bad criminal justice system (for example, giving pedophiles 10 years in prison but people who sell weed 20 years for petty drug distribution, or even just not convicting some kid creeps because they haven’t acted which in all reality is morally wrong but understandable because we don’t need the government who is and isn’t a creep), and some other supposed reasons like a mental health crisis, etc. This gave birth to helicopter parenting, having a tracking app on your kids phone, preparing them for the worst, doomsday scenarios, safe words, going with them everywhere. There’s a lot more to speak of but I’m lazy and don’t want to type more. There’s plenty of videos and articles talking about it. I live literally 3 minutes away from my friend on foot. 3 MINUTES!!

It’s also worth noting that even if those tapes do work now at that price they will likely sit there for a while and by the time someone does try to buy them they will likely be mold-eaten and/or smell like vinegar because film is a very tasty snack for lots of bacteria that is probably already on the film and it is only a matter of time before it starts to rot. None of this even considers the fact that those tapes have already been used and vhs tapes wear down with every use because of the reader going over the film. It’s highly likely that those tapes don’t have mint-condition picture quality because of that and even if the tape is still in plastic wrap or something like that it still is unlikely to be in mint condition due to the fact that tapes rot over time, it’s why we moved over to DVD for crying out loud, because vhs tapes were not shelf stable!

Like 10 minutes out of the normal tour you pop em on and see how many people could fill up the area or seeing how the sea battles would work. Aslong as its not the entire tour, it could add to the experience.

In all fairness, they don't generally let tourists inside the Coliseum, which is probably what the vr footage is.

[@farnregen]

That makes sense

[@iumasz6088]

Apparently It was a measure during COVID. They absolutely let people go inside of the coliseum now (source I went inside it earlier this spring)

[@caitlingill]

I went in 2013 when I was 9 with my parents and we were allowed in? Granted there were sections that we weren't allowed in, but we were still allowed in the main arena area

[@science1153]

I remember trying those out in Beijing a few years ago, and Im convinced that they're not actually AI. The car I was personally riding in stopped at a construction site, fiddled around a bit trying to make a 3 point turn, and then some guy came out of nowhere like 2 minutes later and just started driving the car to our destination. I'm pretty sure they're just remote controlled by an operator somewhere.

[@ariafawn5548]

@ that honestly sounds a lot better, however it’s still not the same as actually being there and looking with your eyes instead of through a camera.

You know, corporations are making record profits for their shareholders. They are greedy with their profits, and could be allocating resources for better pay and working environments--but they choose not to. Instead they charge the working class customer for everything.

If you fall down into the well of socialism, you will soon find that the corporations will have become the State and will have the backing of the military. Private property is a human right.

Certain cities in America have laws that require stores to charge for bags in order to encourage people to bring in reusable bags and reduce waste. It's a good thing.

[@darioferretti3758]

I can give more info about the people with vr headset at the Colosseum: 1: it's a guided tour, with different stops explaining the history of the places, between the stops you HAVE to take the visor off 2: it's not vr, it's ar, it shows stuff like how stuff was back then, the Colosseum intact, the shops nearby, ecc... It's mostly a gimmicky tour, but at least these people are learning something

[@wowimsatan2802]

Yes, I went there with my Latin class and tried it at multiple locations! It was pretty cool, with some of them remaking the locations as they were historically

[@brittnianime]

13:20 i WISH us stores had an index at the end of each aisle!!! the labels are mostly valid but every once in a while im wandering a store for 15-30 extra minutes trying to find a single item. Thats when i whip out my phone and look up what aisle the website says its in lol and also when i go ask a worker, they usually pull out there phone

Except when the store app itself does not even mention the aisle (looking at you walmart. Why do you not tell me when I have my store selected?!)

Are spilled drinks still replaced free at McDonald’s? No bags = spilled drinks.

[@hellsworld1]

My cousin and I went to a cafe, got 2 lunches and 2 drinks and 1 dessert afterwards- It was meant to be around $49 but cost us over $70. Why? Well apparently there’s a weekend surcharge now, and a surcharge for using a card- which didn’t apply JUST to the order - It applied to EVERYTHING you ordered- a 10 meal is now 15, the drink that was 6 is now 12 and so on. I stared at the cashier and said are you serious right now?

[@LRM12o8]

I would NEVER pay any charge that wasn't disclosed beforehand. I ordered the food for the price on the menu and that's what I'm going to pay! They can call the police if they like, but they won't because these surcharges are deception and robbery!

[@WaterMelonS1]

if they didn't disclose the surcharge that's a crime

4:45 usually I agree with you but as an Italian I can tell you the purpose of this tour. The Coliseum didn't use to look like that during ancient Rome so they are probably using vr to see what it USED to look like! I bet they still looked at it and visited it normally first!
