    They are also using this as an excuse to get customers on their data hoovering apps to get access to any of the best deals.

      The McDonalds app explicitly stated they will measure your intelligence. Needless to say, I deleted my account and uninstalled.

          Same as every other corp. A combination of every data point they can get their hands on to build a “consumer” profile on you.

          It’s that last point, “Inferences”, that you should focus on.

            A lot of captchas normally help train AI models, but I would not be surprised if Google and other captcha providers have tracked your intelligence using captchas

      Nah that would imply they have good deals. The dollar menus are still basically done even on the apps and it feels like because they decided they are doing cheaper combos the deals needed to go. Haven’t seen good deals on the apps since they were clawing back customers.

      Someone with a spreadsheet is finding the exact profit margins they want and the answer is more than they are currently getting.
