The technology isn't there to accurately assess damage. It's there to give Hertz an excuse to charge you extra money. It's working exactly as the ghouls in the C-suite like.

Look, if you didn't get it last time we told you, you won't get it this time.

Are you lost? I didn't talk about hiring practices.

Graceful degradation - pfft.

Progressive enhancement - yeah!

First hit, confusingly, is this:

Further down I see a group of girls -- Japanese pop music? That would have been more informative than 'idols'.

It's less about technology and more about evading accountability, I'd say. This would be a sort of cyberpunk version of "How dare you accuse the baron's son of tipping your cows?! He's a fine upstanding young man, so of course these accusations are groundless."

I understand most of the individual words in your explanation, but it doesn't really tell me what the point is. About all I got from it is people writing back and forth to each other, and since you mentioned 'otaku', probably a Japanese fandom thing?

I could google for 'exchange diary otaku' and maybe find a better explanation, but tbh I'm not that invested.

It makes me super uneasy. I can easily see this type of model being expanded and applied to more and more things.

Call for a refund because something you ordered never showed up? Wrong trust chain, you're automatically lying, refund denied.

Report someone for T-boning you? Wrong trust chain, you're now arrested for hitting them.

Etc...

I can't help but "hear" this as "Ninety eez".

Exactly

It's Crusader Kings, not Kings of the Witcher!
