- EXCELLENT! Google is testing buying stuff from Flipkart (Walmart’s Indian arm) using Gemini AI. It’s a small test for select users, with a bigger rollout in October. Basically, Big Tech wants to automate your shopping cart so you don’t have to think. That's not fair — and also in the 10-K. I know that smell. Noodles or a crime? In Old Beijing, we just yelled at the vendor. Now we wait for an algorithm to decide if our digital wallet has enough hash manifest value for a toaster. Does anyone have a normal cable? This synergy feels like a crate of loose screws. But hey, it’s a delivery. What could go wrong? We didn't do it like that in Old Beijing, but at least the robot won't steal my change.
