  Why does a vending machine even have AI in the first place?

  I just saw the Uber case and realized that this in definitely way differently in the US. I was not aware that completely getting around the law was such a common practice. I thought that Disney thing was a rarity

  How often are you reading about someone suing and then that lawsuit (which is already in court) being dropped because they got a better offer for an arbitration out of court? For me that’s a very common thing to read for bigger cases.

  But I agree that forced arbitration with not even a chance to take it to court if you don’t like the offer is horrible for the consumer

  Arbitration doesn’t save money. You still need lawyers.

  of course - but usually it’s way faster than getting a proper court-ruling - and since lawyers are paid per hour that makes a big difference

  Isn’t it often in both parties to settle things out of court? For the one that’d sue it’s usually more money at less cost and the company gets around possibly having a bad precedent set and the bad publicity to potentially losing in court.

  This is probably aimed at people creating issues in the hopes of getting a settlement for something that has a slim (but Nonzero) chance to hold up in court.

  It’s a company - I think this aims at people only bringing serious claims and reducing the paperwork for them - but since it’s Valve people will glorify everything they do
