In NOLA I’d trust a machine over a local most of the time. My interactions with people there have left me unimpressed.
It’s called The Big Easy for a reason.
Lazy folks.
Quick story - git sent to a hotel to help in the accounting office. Tried to pay the occupancy taxes and their electronic payment system never worked and they don’t take checks.
Called and called and sent emails. Nothing.
After I was finished I read an article stating the Parrish was “going after” hotels that didn’t pay them. Every hotel they interviewed told them what I described.
The Parrish shut up.
Yup. People in New Orleans — and public employees especially — tend to have a casual attitude toward their duties.
I was in NOLA in January and fell down hard on some old steps. 911 got an ambulance there quickly. And took me to an actual hospital emergency room with human Mds. Very expensive until my insurance decided to pay for it two months later.
I can only imagine the idiotic things AI might cause. Heart attacks patients sent to the vet?
