Inside McDonald’s push to have AI price your Big Mac
submitted by alyaza to technology
46 points | 10 comments
https://www.reuters.com/business/inside-mcdonalds-push-have-ai-price-your-big-mac-2026-09-29/NEW YORK, Sept 29 (Reuters) - McDonald’s is increasingly using artificial intelligence to guide menu prices across the U.S. and some global markets, a plan that aims to boost headquarters’ profit but risks alienating customers and attracting antitrust scrutiny.
One pricing factor supercharged by AI: an estimate of how much each store’s patrons are willing to pay.
The details of how that pricing system works, its extensive use of AI, the company’s regulatory concerns and the tensions with its franchisees haven’t been previously reported. For this story, Reuters reviewed screenshots of the company pricing engine taken in August and interviewed nine sources with first-hand knowledge of the burger chain’s strategy.
McDonald’s pricing engine uses machine-learning algorithms to continually analyze data from millions of daily transactions across McDonald’s nearly 14,000 restaurants and generate what the company calls “the optimal price” at each location for each menu item, from Big Macs to discounted coffee for seniors.
The engine has widened existing price differences for the same product between restaurants, including from neighborhood to neighborhood within the same area, three franchisees told Reuters.

‘We’re afraid of dying’: Brazilian news site will not cover upcoming elections after threats
submitted by alyaza to news
17 points | 0 comments
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/30/brazil-newspaper-threats-tapajos-de-fatoJournalism and free-expression organisations in Brazil see Tapajós de Fato’s decision, first reported by a network of independent Amazonian media outlets, as a serious example of the consequences of attacks against journalists during the electoral period.
“It reflects the different forms of attempted censorship and silencing that journalists have to face in Brazil,” said Letícia Kleim, legal coordinator at the Brazilian Association of Investigative Journalism.
“Silencing the message by silencing the messenger affects not just their community, but democracy as a whole, which will no longer receive the valuable information they were providing by reporting on the Amazon from within the region.”
Her association is part of a coalition that recorded 4,400 online attacks against journalists, media outlets and the press on X and Instagram between 30 August and 12 September alone, an increase of 67% compared with the previous two weeks.

Show HN: 9.8M product opinions collected from Reddit / HN, on 48,837 products
This is something I have been making on the side.
Opinions are extracted from posts and comments using a 8x 3090 box I had spare, using Gemma models, then summaries are created from the opinions. Several methods are used to exclude spam / shills.
You can also browse by recommendations from a specific subreddit.
The map view on the travel category is pretty neat: https://www.trustmebro.reviews/c/travel?view=map
Still some more work to do to improve the data. If someone is interested in taking over the project, you can mail me (mail in my profile).
