The company compiled information from franchisees and guests on how to measure friendliness, resulting in the fast food chain training its AI system to recognize certain words and phrases, such as “welcome to Burger King,” “please,” and “thank you.” Managers can then ask the AI assistant how their location is performing on friendliness.

Not sure how any of that discounts his anti-imperialist and anti-authoritarian beliefs.

    Why don't you actually make your own point instead of copying your thoughts wholesale from other writers? Ironic that the person railing against Orwell can't think for themself.

    make your own point

    copying your thoughts

    Brother. This is Orwell's biography. It's not a "point". It's how he lived his life.

    Lmao, an excerpt from a spyscape article about a single event in his life isn't a biography, nor does a single event paint a complete picture about the man or his beliefs. Not sure what you have against Orwell, but you're not doing a convincing job conveying it.
