Quote HistoryQuoted: Its kinda like the ATM machine glitch where I request $50 and the machine spits out $500 . I would put my card back in and try it again until I reached my daily limit or the machine stopped glitching. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Seems to me like a tough conviction; they have to PROVE it was done deliberately, and not by accident. Beaten like a dead horse. Will just say, that's what I call accident-prone. It is crazy that this went on for 8 months before they stopped it. Akin to Leisure Suit's idea, I wonder if the station thought they just had one hell of a leak in their tank, and telling people about it was just going to make it worse for them? |

Sort of analogous story relating to casino slots from years back. Some guys found a glitch in Video Poker that allowed them to basically increase their bet after they had won.
They take the casinos for hundreds of thousands, got greedy one day and got caught...and we're found not guilty. Their argument was that they just used the buttons and UI as is and didn't tamper with the machine so it's not cheating. The court bought that argument and they walked. https://www.wired.com/2014/10/cheating-video-poker/ |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I love how people are like: "She found a way to make the computer say it was free. That makes it not criminal." My dudes. How do you feel about the people that print their own barcode stickers, and then use self-checkout? How about the guy with the RFID reader cloning your hotel key and then looting your room? Debit card scammers? Identity theft? Crypto thieves? "If a computer tells me it's ok... I'm morally in the right." Sadly, much of the world seriously thinks that way. They want an AI President since it would be "unbiased and fair". They have no clue how many backdoors and glitches can be exploited in AI especially with the training set. ' Still, it's coming, computers will decide things, from illness diagnosis to assisting or replacing judges in courtrooms. Too many people want that in their utopia, skynet could never happen here, and neither could the plot of 1984 or Brave New World or McCarthy's warnings - none of those could ever really work or happen here. So, I like these stories and continual exploits being in the news. It might make people question their undying allegiance to AI everything (though gas card is far simpler than AI, it applies as that gives AI far more code to inject some keyword overrides for updates on decisions in certain charged topics). We already see AI reducing what we get in our searches more and more. It's the first 3 pages now of all "approved by Snopes" sites only. That's not getting any pushback, either. I preferred google of 2015 where you could actually find stuff. |

The customer is using the machine to "play" against the casino. A typical "point of sale" or "service system" does not give the business an inherent edge or advantage over their customers. It is there for the customer to use to gain access to the service/product the company offers and complete a mutual transaction. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Normally I hate thieves But in this instance there was a glitch in the matrix which was company’s fault. She merely took advantage of their fuck up Personally I would let her walk. so if some store forgot to put a price tag on something, according to you, its free for the taking

Of course it is the companies fault. Just like leaving your door unlocked makes it ok for anyone to come in and steal anything they want.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Normally I hate thieves But in this instance there was a glitch in the matrix which was company’s fault. She merely took advantage of their fuck up Personally I would let her walk. And if the glitch was your home's personal alarm system, and it never went off when you got broken into? Let's say the thieves made off with literally everything in your house because you were away traveling for a month. No big deal, right? Just let them walk, right? The circumstances of HOW she stole does not change THAT she stole. I'd throw the book at her. She is apparently used to a life of zero accountability. That needs to change. We don't need new laws, we need to enforce the ones we already have. |

If it had been a couple fill ups . I think that’s a walk. Akin to if the burger joint accidentally gives you an extra couple burgers or the grocery clerk doesn’t scan the item.
That much gas screams inside job. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Normally I hate thieves But in this instance there was a glitch in the matrix which was company’s fault. She merely took advantage of their fuck up Personally I would let her walk. So it’s fine to steal if not caught right away? For example, if the hardware store owner forgets to lock the door when they leave or set the alarm, it’s fine to break in and clean the place out? After all, it’s their fuck up.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Not the same. If she took the merch to self pay, and self pay said $0 owed is a better analogy. So you know the self pay is fucked up and you leave with the merchandise anyways? That is still stealing. Once I bought 8 boxes of 9mm and the lady rang one up instead of 8. I got to the truck and saw the mistake on the receipt, went back in and paid for the other 7 boxes. If I wouldn’t have, that’s also stealing. Because I knew I didn’t pay for what I should have. This isn’t difficult at all if you have a moral compass that works. |
