Gets "AI"
looks inside
Badly paid employees
"Actually Indians".

Sure, but you still shouldn't be selling the technology as actually working, instead of developing.
Amazon bought whole foods a while back. What would have stopped them from just collecting the data in their own stores, and then developed the tech?
Hint: shareholder value.

I won't pretend that Amazon avoided that due to ethical concerns, but doing that would have almost the exact same ethical concerns.

All they had to do was run the tech alongside traditional cashiers. Make it known on entry, and your fine. No ethical concerns.
But what they did was sell tech they didnt have to shareholders to pump up the stock.

I hope this isn't part of a larger trend of human labor being devalued because companies pretend it's just machine labor. I hope that's literally impossible.

From an engineering perspective they didn’t want to do this since it’s not just about AI tasks. If you go watch videos of it they have camera arrays and special shelf layouts and all sorts of stuff.
Not to mention the engineers probably wanted to be able to test it privately and without disrupting an actual store and community.
So it’s what I would’ve done as well frankly

What are you talking about?
It was never AI. It was always cheap remote people working in foreign countries. But you would take that, and sell it as AI like they did?

Next I'm going to find out ChatGPT is 700 thousand Indians typing really fast.
It would save electricity

They should have had 701

Actually Indians
When Tesler introduced their "AI" robots a few months ago in a meet-and-greet, someone said AI stood for "Another Indian."
They spoke like social media managers, and it seemed to me like they were being remotely operated, so there's a fair possibility that person was accidentally right.

Oddly between 5pm and 6am Delhi time.

Crazy that 700 professionals in india is cheaper than a compute/data centre.

The lying is unacceptable, but either they hire temporary workers to obsolete themselves, or they force tenured people to obsolete themselves.

700 professionals in India probably make more coherent software than AI.

Peoole aren’t appreciating just how bad these things are because they’re misinterpreting it. The goal of what they are doing here and with Amazon was never to just fake the technology right. The goal was to fake that the technology existed by using humans to do an automated thing and then to leverage that into making it actually automated.
But essentially what that means is theyre inventing technology that hasn’t been invented yet and selling it to you and the reason for doing so is to replace you with technology before it can even technically happen.
It’s essentially like someone building a new automated factory and telling workers at their other locations that they can’t be hired there since it’s automated but then someone goes inside and finds out they’re just using child laborers until the robots are ready and also robots haven’t been invented yet.
They’re using blood to grease wheels that don’t even exist to turn yet.
Feels like it should be illegal to mislead people like that.

Someday, that's what we'll be sold as "The Singularity". Some company like Apple or Google will offer us ascendance into the cloud, but we'll actually just become digital slave labor.
Plot twist, the future envisioned in the matrix basically does come to pass, except it's not machines turning humans into power, it's the ultra rich turning humans into processing power.

Amazon web services are incomprehensible. The names aren't good either
