@abc7la: (7/1/26) #AI-powered software has allowed #gas station operators across #California to illegally collude and drive up #gasprices at the pump, according to a federal lawsuit.

Adam :

Can we all agree life was better without AI

𝓟𝓪𝓷𝓭𝓪𝓪 :

So that means the entire airport has to be sued too because when you search for flight tickets, they magically get higher than next time you look it up aha

lindap0930 :

No it's the government not AI

Bobby 🇺🇸 :

California? No way

Unit88 :

I hate it here

WhyNot :

Wait!!! It’s ok for California to tax gas at a crazy rate but companies can’t charge what they want? Sounds like government overreach

Keaton :

replacing jobs and price gouging now, what’s AI good for again??

C&C Cardhouse🥓 :

But aren’t grocery stores installing electronic digital price tags that can be changed at anytime by AI to adjust pricing depending on “external factors”. What’s the difference between on demand pricing which airlines, uber, and grocery stores are now using vs what these gas stations did? 🤔

Zakura :

Everywhere does this… this isn’t new. Apartments, grocery stores, it’s all ai algorithms to price fix

Joy fujimura :

Yup

lostlamb :

Move. Perhaps go to Costco

Willimet Boii 🫒 :

I knew this shit was happening

D1G1MAN :

and here I remember back in the day when gas stations competed to be the cheapest on the block to drive their businesses up. how have we gone from competition to colluding to drive the price of?

dannyjoe82 :

like Walmart they jack up the price when it sees you want it

Tiberius :

Teresalbc :

I’m quite sure it’s not just California and not just gas

Thtdude😼 :

Rent prices are currently set by AI software as well

Yes :

I moved from California last night to Idaho. And the further we got from California gas stations got cheaper $3.99 where we are now

Chris :

Need more robust public transit

Fasten seat belt while seated. :

California? of course

Jacky Express Permit :

Walmart is doing the same !! That’s why they have digital price tags now !!!

Marisol :

The gas math is getting impossible and we need a public ledger to track those fuel tax dollars
