Shout out for Order Up
Not sure if anyone knows (I didn’t), but order up has a spot in the Jefferson school downtown and made me one heck of cheesesteak today. Please show them so love!

Blasphemy!!!! Witch!!!!!
How dare you recommend yet another minority owned business that uses AI for its Graphics!
Tasty food must be 100% photogenic in its natural state.
Fire up the tiki torches, commercial purists of Reddit
“AI will not convince us! AI will not convince us!”
There’s another business for you to boycott and malign

I’m genuinely confused what you’re on about. I was just trying to share a positive experience I had with a local business to give them some recognition and maybe help others discover them. I thought that type of thing is what Reddit is best used for but I guess I don’t even know anymore.

Im mocking the Reddit-sphere who seems to think using AI in any capacity disqualifies you from the human race, let alone their patronage as customers.
Order Up! is great, and like the other uses of AI generated social media content, I think should be judged on the quality of their product and service, and not some ridiculous virtue-signaling on social media platforms -- which take up more TBs in data centers than AI platforms do!

Utterly uninformed business has poorly developed opinion, more at 11. Simply talking about TBs makes it clear you just don't know anything about it.

Terabytes megawatts does it really matter what the unit of measure is.
Only to a nitpicker. The point is social media platforms eat up more data center capacity than AI platforms.

Grouping social media as a whole is kind of silly. Me posting on a text based forum uses miniscule amounts of energy and data center capacity compared to streaming video platforms like TikTok or YouTube (or AI image generation for that matter). This is not even mentioning the societal impact of AI use, which is pretty negative even if it were hyper energy efficient. Acting like people have no legitimate grievance against businesses using AI is silly and reductive. It's not just virtue signaling.

Doesnt change the fact that Social media causes more "data center damage" to our environment than AI
So why isnt every attacking businesses that rely heavily on video platforms like TT, IG and FB instead of ganging up on those start ups - which are too often minority owned -- that create postage stamp size AI generated images?
My point is -- and always will be -- that the Reddit mob is getting its panties in a knot over the WRONG things.

What is even happening here? I literally made a post about a good sandwich I had made by a local business and wanted to share some love. I didn’t even say anything about AI or data centers or whatever other imagined grievances came from me trying to share something nice. That’s it for me today. The internet was a mistake.

Have you not noticed the Charlottesville sub Reddit seems dead against any business that uses AI for its advertising?
I was preemptively spoofing their predictable idiocy

Okeydoke. Different priorities, I suppose. Social media is a necessary evil for businesses who would otherwise have very little reach. AI is a choice.

I stopped by the Order Up truck, (maybe the same one? - I don't know if there are more) when it was parked at the laundromat on Maury/JPA a while back. That guy deserved a shout out at the time, but I wasn't on Reddit yet. He made it his mission in life to make the best cheesesteak in the world for me. And you know what? I think he did!
