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

2018-01-30 15:27:58 UTC  

at the moment, yes

2018-01-30 15:27:58 UTC  

I mean, I suppose?

2018-01-30 15:28:00 UTC  

Yeah

2018-01-30 15:28:11 UTC  

workers yes but how much attention are they paying?

2018-01-30 15:28:38 UTC  

If someone is walking in with a ski mask on and grabbing something quickly from someone elses hand and runs out, I'm pretty sure they'll be alerted, or so I suppose

2018-01-30 15:29:55 UTC  

there are people before you enter the store so you might have to remove masks

2018-01-30 15:30:06 UTC  

what about wide brimmed hats?

2018-01-30 15:30:50 UTC  

I suppose they also have to be removed so they can map your face and put it in their databank, otherwise you'd be known as the "sombrero man". (/s)

2018-01-30 15:31:16 UTC  

ofc they are going to implement some form of facial recognition

2018-01-30 15:38:00 UTC  

some systems just need a reactionary form of update

2018-01-30 15:38:21 UTC  

I dont think they can sit there and think of all the criminal shit that could happen, since they're probably soyboys and such

2018-01-30 15:38:45 UTC  

what?

2018-01-30 15:39:17 UTC  

they'll account for problems after they happen, not before

2018-01-30 15:39:54 UTC  

it's been in development for how long now?

2018-01-30 15:40:07 UTC  

it's pretty accurate

2018-01-30 15:40:26 UTC  

accurate given a probable scenario

2018-01-30 15:40:37 UTC  

criminal ingenuity is what develops security

2018-01-30 15:40:52 UTC  

yes but the whole point of building the technology is to account for edge cases

2018-01-30 15:41:08 UTC  

part of the development is finding as many as possible and having the system account for it

2018-01-30 15:41:18 UTC  

live trials are obviously the best place to get good data

2018-01-30 15:41:22 UTC  

but they aren't idiots

2018-01-30 15:42:03 UTC  

yeah if they already know how to deal with a 3-man horse costume buying cereal id be surprised

2018-01-30 15:42:33 UTC  

it doesnt make you an idiot if you cant think of every conceivable way to game the system

2018-01-30 15:42:59 UTC  

making the system 100% automatic wasn't the goal

2018-01-30 15:43:12 UTC  

they are doing this to make money

2018-01-30 15:43:54 UTC  

which means detect anomalies and unusual activity and direct them towards a human

2018-01-30 15:45:33 UTC  

is there some form of entry card?

2018-01-30 15:45:59 UTC  

look at vids

2018-01-30 15:46:13 UTC  

you have to enter using your phone and the companion app

2018-01-30 15:48:45 UTC  

so CQC some other employee off camera, take their ID card, stakeout the guard change times, don horse mask, get in, get reses puffs, get out, MGS6 confirmed

2018-01-30 15:49:23 UTC  

visa gift card, fake name, new account

2018-01-30 15:50:05 UTC  

This is btw kinda scary, but I think Tim had some similar thought in a video; what if, in the future, all stores are kinda like Amazon Go and some place deems your thoughts to be "hateful"; they demand Amazon Go or the similar stores to shut down your account, and since you've been going to the stores, they have already mapped out your face, how you move, what you buy on average, how long you spend there etc.

Wouldn't that lead to you being banned from all stores essentially? And because of the algorithm knowing who you are, you couldn't do a fake account or new account

2018-01-30 15:50:22 UTC  

yea 3wasnt that a black mirror episode

2018-01-30 15:50:28 UTC  

Nosedive, kinda.

2018-01-30 15:50:30 UTC  

if the app is necessary it can be tied to you somehow im guessing, especially with the sub-human level sounds that track phones and shit nowadays

2018-01-30 15:50:30 UTC  

yea

2018-01-30 15:50:39 UTC  

I think China actually rates people though.

2018-01-30 15:51:17 UTC  

So this is more like Black mirror, but still kinda freaky
