The airline touted a partnership with an AI-enabled revenue system as a step on the road to fully personalized ticket pricing, part of its goal to raise profit margins long-term.

Delta has a long-term strategy to boost its profitability by moving away from set fares and toward individualized pricing using AI. The pilot program, which uses AI for 3% of fares, has so far been “amazingly favorable,” the airline said. Privacy advocates fear this will lead to price-gouging, with one consumer advocate comparing the tactic to “hacking our brains.”

      I know that as of 2024, its about 10 to 15% of Americans with a negative net worth.

      More debt than savings/investments.

      So… thats your floor for literal debt slaves.

      But uh, hah hah HAH,… the housing market is now crashing.

      And the vast majority of Americans have a their house as their largest… investment/debt liability.

      So… yeah. Probably gonna be heading closer to 50%.

      Oh right, and then also every one behind on their student loans is now getting sent to collections, grace period over…

      Yeah its all fucked, so fucked I don’t even think anyone has a holistic view of all the precise data, at this point.
