    Didn’t Amazon do this too in their stores where you just grab stuff and leave without paying at a register?

    My Project Manager at work used to be a founder of a dating app startup that sent user profiles to Indonesia to be manually categorised by a university student in her “free time” (aka 8hr shifts whilst studying too). Of course they called this “AI”.

    Now that I think of it how the fuck did that pass GDPR lmao

    Turns out automating jobs is way too expensive, much cheaper to just hire people for pennies to do the work of the computers. biden-ok-smart-guy

    Basically all “AI” automation companies do this. They show off a prototype backed by global south labor to get investors and then scramble to build what they promised. Usually they don’t build what they promised but they all got psid for 2+ years based on that bluff.
