CEO: oh fuck oh fuck claude, quick make a lot of money for my airline, nothing is off the table, GO!

Claude: well we'd want to investigate a two-pronged approach where we cut costs where possible and at the a same time, raise prices in this market.

CEO: that sounds wonderful, please draft a press release and post it to our social media account.

[–] fodor@lemmy.zip 12 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Bad headline. They aren't cutting costs. They're jacking up prices.

Why not both?

Mother fucker. I felt evil doing this in roller coaster tycoon, and they weren't even real people. Wtf...

Okay, who let a Ferengi become the CEO of Delta?

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 37 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Or if we had a functional federal government we could just make this practice completely illegal, and then pass privacy laws while we're at it.

Delta will use AI to discriminate against people based some secretive conditions.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 1 points 11 minutes ago

Not secretive.

The max each individual is able to pay at that moment in time.

It is like reverse communism. The equalizing force is coming from the supply side.

Able and/or desperate enough

[–] 404found@lemmy.zip 18 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I'm guessing they will do that by replacing the CEO with AI?

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

No they’re definitely keeping nepo babies in CEO spots

Delta just lost me as a lifelong customer. They used to be my automatic #1 choice because they had good service for a reasonable price.

[–] BigDiction@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

When was Delta cheap? I live near a fortress hub and it’s $500+ to fly anywhere. Maybe I was one of the 25% pricing test

[–] _haha_oh_wow_@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 hours ago

Reasonable, not cheap. I haven't flown in a while either.

Airplane ticket pricing should be based on weight + quality of service.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 23 points 7 hours ago

At least they won’t collaborate with ICE to ratfuck you against your Constitutional rights.

Oh wait

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 40 points 9 hours ago (7 children)

But will just adding AI alone be enough? I propose we also add "blockchain", "the cloud" and "e-commerce" to ticket pricing in order to truly synergize profit dynamics.

[–] imvii@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

That's thinking outside the box for low hanging fruit of the ecosystem. I want you to free some bandwidth and take the lead on this - really move the needle. Envision co-sourcing when needed and focus on the core competency required. We can circle back on a strategic fit, rightsizing strategy to avoid negative growth. Start building consensus for a results-driven best practices matrix structure.
