  1. in any other context, Instacart's checkout flow - silently toggling on a subscription, after showing prices - would be criminal fraud. we wouldn't use the euphemism "darkpattern."

    if an individual ran this scam, they'd reasonably expect criminal charges, not a civil fine.

  6. US Top News and Analysis | Google races to put Gemini at the center of Android before Apple’s AI reboot

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Google is using its latest Android rollout to embed Gemini, its new AI model, throughout the phone, browser, car, and laptop, turning the operating system into an “intelligence system.” Ahead of the Google I/O developer conference, the company previewed Android updates that let Gemini understand screen context, move across apps, and complete multi‑step tasks such as building shopping carts, booking reservations, or generating a barbecue menu and adding ingredients to an Instacart list. The AI acts as an agent rather than a simple chatbot, but it always returns to the user for confirmation before finalizing actions, keeping the human “in the loop.” The features will debut on the latest Samsung Galaxy and Pixel devices this summer and later expand to watches, cars, glasses, and laptops, with Android Auto receiving a Gemini‑powered redesign that includes a major maps update and in‑car task assistance. Google hopes this deeper AI integration will help it compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Apple’s upcoming “Apple Intelligence” initiative while maintaining user control over what Gemini can see and do.

  10. As the pandemic ramped up my wife and I were happy to begin using #Instacart, a grocery delivery service. There were problems with Instacart, but those problems were nothing compared to the potential of contracting a deathly illness. Six years later, Instacart still has some glaring problems, now including ones by design: their TOS have just been updated to protect them from lawsuits. Other companies do this too, and it's never a good sign. #tech

  18. I made the mistake of not including a tip when helping my aging mother with her Walmart same-day delivery, and now, of course, the order is now delayed.

    As far as I know, Walmart uses Instacart, so naturally, an order without a tip is being avoided as if it were the plague. I dislike our tipping culture because Instacart should pay people enough, as should Walmart, and the driver — who is paying nearly six dollars a gallon for gas — is likely struggling as much as everyone else, myself included, which we should all blame on Donald Trump.

    But that struggle is why tipping can hurt some people so much, and not receiving a tip can hurt as well. It is a vicious cycle that we should not be facing, and yet here we are.

  26. Today in "I fucked up".

    A gal vibe coded her store, and she forgot to set the payment plugin to "production".

    She literally lost six figures (CLP) in a single day. She only noticed when called me:

    «Hey Italo, how do you remove the "Testing mode" when you pay?».

    Some people must stay AWAY from a computer, at least for a while.

    Thank you for bringing this accessibility concern to our attention. We take accessibility seriously at Instacart and are committed to making Instacart operable, understandable, and accessible for all of our customers, including individuals living with disabilities.
    While we are not able to provide specific updates on the timeline for potential changes, please know that your feedback is valuable and will be thoroughly evaluated.

But when we get messages like this back it can feel a bit discouraging to continue trying. But on we go. Can't say I didn't try. #Accessibility #EaseOfUse #Instacart
