[random] hehehe, a staff discount at the $2 shop, lol :D [/random] i was accepted for a job a few months after they changed the staff discount policy, staff a few months before i was employed got items at the retail buying price thing + 10%, it was heeeaps cheap, now its 10% off things :( oh well

EDIT: that wasnt at best buys though

I work at Blockbuster video and I get 20% anything I want to buy ( other than electroncs ie: ps2, xbox, gamecube...I really wish I got discounts on those tho :yes:)

And I also get 5 free game/movie rentals a week...

Not too bad...

I know someone that works at circuit city and I think they just get things at cost...

I know my friend that works at Best Buy gets like 10%. He's quitting soon though.

Where I work, we get what the store pays for, plus 13%. I work at Osco, if anyone has heard of it, it's not that much very known elsewhere expect in Illinois and some other states, like Indiana. Doesn't have stores elsewhere is basically why. Albertsons owns Osco. Hmmm, we have Liquor (the department I've been working in since Nov02) and also Camera, Pharmacy, School/Auto, Cosmetics, Baby, Seasonal, some other things and Hallmark (which is going to be soon American Greetings which sucks, they switch when the contact is up, so after AG, it will be back to Hallmark). Basically all I really ever get discounts is either Liquor, stuff from the school aisle, like CDR's (I pay I think it was $12 for a 50 pack.. :p 40x or 48x, I forget) not bad.

I work there now, the discount is products at cost plus 5%. It works out great on some products but ****ty on others. And I guess it really depends on the state that you work in to determine how old you must be. I know at this BestBuy we have people that are only 16 working.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
