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.

Actually Indians
schrieb am 4. Juni 2025, 01:28 zuletzt editiert vonWhen 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?
schrieb am 4. Juni 2025, 05:01 zuletzt editiert vonLooked it up and according to their claims (which we don’t have much other info on) they said that 70% needed manual review. And I’m saying AI here but really that’s the buzzword, there was a whole engineered system behind this that was automated to some degree. So yeah it wasn’t AI but it also wasn’t just people either.
