the reality is Amazon is running a trial of honor system shopping and nothing more

ya even RFID could be countered with a shield

RFID would be stupid for this anyways

they dont use rfid

would cost them what, 50c per chip?

not worth it

what if identical twins walk in and grab different things and walk past each toher several times

i thought they were less than .05c

if they walk past each other it doesn't matter, body detection and tracking is fairly straightforward given a point cloud constructed from multiple camera angles

throw a blanket over both of them at the same time

or a jacket

now that's evil

Doesn't it calculate your inventory when you walk out the door? I mean. It does give some kind of timer on how long you spent inside the store based on Linus video

what is a group of clowns had to go shopping at the same time???

haha

or Anons in masks?

identical clowns

i bet I can walk in, take something, and walk out without paying in one minute

theft misdemeanor comes to mind

you have to be charged

not if they publicize that they dont care becuase it cant hapen

@Kane.🇺🇸.Nexus not quite, they send a quick verification charge

I doubt tim will make a how to vid on it

Im going to try, and Im going to explain how we did it

that would be illegal imo

it will be a fascinating legal battle

@ping I mean you have to be charged with the crime

oh lmao

amazon would have to prove intent

but no im not going to steal anything

Oh man this Amazon go seems like a terrible idea now when I finished Linus video on it. Yikes

Im just going to prove the system is broken

so if you get banned and come back with a ski mask and take a bunch of shit again there's intent to steal without a reasonable doubt

now the question is

remember this is just a beta test after 2 years of development

how are they going to ban people

they would have to have facial recognition going on

It would be great to uncover security holes to the extent Amazon issues an emergency fix

that would be awesome the day after your vid AZ shuts down the store for a week

Aren't there workers (like security) in the store though?

at the moment, yes
