The only cure for contempt is counter-contempt.
—H. L. Mencken
I had to gas up my car in Massachusetts yesterday and pulled into a Sunoco station.
I removed my credit card from the pump's reader before answering all its dozen questions.
A huge mistake.
The pump went full-scale ballistic, flashing READ! READ! READ!
I've never been verbally assaulted by a gas pump before.
My hunch: the pump has built-in AI.
Through machine learning its has acquired a wicked Boston attitude.
