| IsambardPrince | One in Texas called me looking for someone I don't know that they thought might be a relative. | Jul 26 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | I told the guy "I used to work at the competitor and I didn't particularly like how the model goes after people using the criminal courts because a rent to own contract isn't like stiffing Capital One. Keeping rental property without paying is a misdemeanor." | Jul 26 06:49 |
| IsambardPrince | "Then you go to jail and they attach restitution for the full amount of the rental contract to your probation." | Jul 26 06:50 |
| IsambardPrince | "It's just a horrible way to treat people." | Jul 26 06:50 |
| IsambardPrince | "I didn't want to go numb to sitting outside people's houses waiting for the Sheriff to get there over a bedroom set, so I left before I became utterly compromised." | Jul 26 06:50 |
| IsambardPrince | He said they haven't done that to people in a long time because the value of the stuff "just wasn't worth it". | Jul 26 06:51 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Well, I wonder if word gets around how badly they got their asses kicked by a rental store and the other marks don't come in." | Jul 26 06:51 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: I got the job through Monster.com this was many years ago. | Jul 26 06:53 |
| IsambardPrince | Didn't last long. | Jul 26 06:53 |
| IsambardPrince | I figure these people have ruined credit anyway, so what? | Jul 26 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | We report them to a credit bureau where they have a 350 FICO score anyway because of 16 other collections. | Jul 26 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | Oh it was much worse. | Jul 26 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | I asked my boss that during my training weeks and she said "No, we call the police." | Jul 26 06:54 |
| IsambardPrince | My assumption "What harm does it do? They already come here because nobody can make their life worse over unpaid debt." was wrong. | Jul 26 06:55 |
| IsambardPrince | schestowitz[TR2]: Yes, the people who end up in high income brackets without much education tend to be rightwing. | Jul 26 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | No matter how they got the money they don't need the system for anything now, so they don't care if it rots. | Jul 26 07:16 |
| IsambardPrince | And their story is always the self-made man even if it was just given to them (inheritance, nepotism, whatever). | Jul 26 07:17 |

| IsambardPrince | Rape, really most sex crimes in general fit the overall psychological profile of a sadist. | Jul 26 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Not all sadists are rapists, but all rapists, child molesters, (etc) are sadists. | Jul 26 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | It's a subtype. | Jul 26 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | And when you're dealing with a sex offender, you already know 100% that they're a sadist, and it can manifest in other ways. | Jul 26 22:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Some sadists are not sex offenders, they restrain themselves to the point where they will not be arrested for anything. | Jul 26 22:18 |
| IsambardPrince | They find professions that allow them to cause pain as part of what they do. | Jul 26 22:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Or where they have control over people and cause pain for some legitimate reason. | Jul 26 22:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Some middle managers are sadists. The cover is this. | Jul 26 22:19 |
| IsambardPrince | They have to cut payroll. They make people suffer by cutting payroll. There's nothing in the bank account and they're hungry and can't afford basic medical care and they still have to show up at Walmart or there won't even be enough to pay rent. | Jul 26 22:19 |
| IsambardPrince | Not all middle managers do it because it thrills them, but some see it as a "nice bonus". | Jul 26 22:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Those are the sadists. | Jul 26 22:20 |
| IsambardPrince | I worked like this for years. Hungry, no heat, no access to WHO Essential Medicines (like antidepressants or antibiotics). | Jul 26 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | Still had to clock in and do the Company Cheer during the meeting. | Jul 26 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | I got sick and needed antibiotics. | Jul 26 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | No health insurance. | Jul 26 22:21 |
| IsambardPrince | A $100 visit to the walk-in clinic and a $400 bottle of antibiotics wipes out two weeks pay. | Jul 26 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | The car broke down the same week. Had to leave it in the parking spot and walk to work. | Jul 26 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | The apartment manager saw me out there working on my own car because I had no choice. I had no idea what I was doing, either. I downloaded a repair manual from the web. | Jul 26 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I eventually got the car to start. | Jul 26 22:22 |
| IsambardPrince | While I was walking to work, a police officer stopped me and started questioning why I was walking. | Jul 26 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | I said, "Because I'm going somewhere." | Jul 26 22:23 |
| IsambardPrince | "Do you suspect me of any wrongdoing?" | Jul 26 22:23 |

| IsambardPrince | OpenAI said that China's open source models are so good that the only thing that could possibly save OpenAI the company is if Donald Trump makes it "risky from a regulatory standpoint to use those models". | Jul 26 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | Translation: We're bribing him to do illegal shit to distort markets so our crappy business can go on. | Jul 26 23:16 |
| IsambardPrince | The danger is not that federal agencies disappear. It's that they get perverted. | Jul 26 23:17 |
| IsambardPrince | Like Trump appointing Capital One executives to lead the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. | Jul 26 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | After spending his first year having them take action to help payday loan companies and fee harvester credit card banks. | Jul 26 23:18 |
| IsambardPrince | Capital One absolutely does use "agentic AI" to service accounts. | Jul 26 23:19 |
| IsambardPrince | It does cause slightly higher account delinquencies, but it lets them run lean in ways that other banks don't. | Jul 26 23:20 |
| IsambardPrince | At scale, it's too expensive to spam people with credit card offers using human credit analysts like Chase or Citi have. | Jul 26 23:20 |
| IsambardPrince | Capital One is constantly tweaking the rules for the "AI" agents and having a small percentage of new accounts issued under the new rules while the more conservative model continues for most people. | Jul 26 23:21 |
| MinceR | > if Donald Trump makes it "risky | Jul 26 23:21 |
| MinceR | hmm, what did the "conservatives" say about the government picking winners and losers? | Jul 26 23:21 |
| IsambardPrince | So if two people of about the same credit profile get different answers, that's one reason why. | Jul 26 23:22 |
| IsambardPrince | I think Capital One was testing a new model on one of my cards. | Jul 26 23:22 |
| IsambardPrince | They issued me a prime credit card with a new account bonus, and now the system seems to view me as too risky again. | Jul 26 23:23 |
| IsambardPrince | But the nice thing about it is they don't review their past decisions. | Jul 26 23:23 |
| IsambardPrince | They keep servicing that account under the model used when it was written. | Jul 26 23:24 |
| IsambardPrince | MinceR: I remembered asking for Paid Time Off once. | Jul 26 23:45 |
| IsambardPrince | It got approved and then the plant manager went to find me on the floor to try to guilt trip me into taking some time off. | Jul 26 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | I planned to stay home and play video games. | Jul 26 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | But I couldn't say that because then it made me sound like the asshole who wouldn't come into work. | Jul 26 23:46 |
| IsambardPrince | So I said, "Well gee, it already got approved and that's why I put down a non-refundable deposit to go up to Michigan with my friends." | Jul 26 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | :) | Jul 26 23:47 |
| IsambardPrince | So he said "Oh, okay. Have fun!" and walked off. | Jul 26 23:47 |
