A new lawsuit shows major gas stations are using AI to drive up prices and coordinate price fixing
‘They're using an AI tool called Kalibrate to adjust prices based on confidential data. The lawsuit claims this has increased gas prices by as much as $0.30 a gallon’ in California
This is a proposed class-action lawsuit. Companies operating over 1,700 stations in the state, including:
BP
Circle K
7-Eleven
Walmart
Marathon Petroleum
Albertsons (and others/EG America/Cumberland Farms)
Kalibrate is also named as a defendant
I looked into this and it’s wild
The systems are using machine learning and algorithms to increase prices due to things like traffic patterns, time of day, competitor moves, weather, events and more
The system is being fed confidential, real-time data including their own costs, sales volumes, inventory, and historical pricing and then finds a way to take all this information and maximize profits
You already know this is going to be used in all kinds of industries to squeeze us for everything we have
🚨 HUGE NEWS: The US Postmaster General has just told Congress that the Post Office WILL NOT deliver mail-in ballots in the 2026 midterms to states who refuse to comply with President Trump's election integrity executive order
This order makes sure mail-in recipients are CITIZENS and are who they say they are — on top of making mail-in voting more secure
LFG!! Don't let the Dems defeat this in court! 🔥
@HustleBitch_ Progressive liberal policies led to this.
When you make fast food min wage $20/hr with a path towards $30/hr, everything becomes more expensive.
Add the never-ending intentional currency debasement and asset inflation and this is what you get.

Pure communism. This is my biggest fear for South Korea's future. That they're turning into a Chinese proxy. I hope it can be prevented. If not, the likelihood of a world war will increase greatly. And I don't want to see that.
