heading to Seattle
π anything interesting going on in seattle?
he might be trying out that Amazon Go store.... steal something for me while you're there π
im going to break the amazon store
that guy linus didnt even try to find an exploit in the system
Im not going to actually do any damage or steal anything
but Im 100% confident I can find errors
basically
I can and will find ways to effectively steal large amounts of items without actually stealing or doing anything illegal
Get a large blanket and throw it over yourself and the rack
and then pull an indiana jones and swap something out
that wont work, they have weight sensors
there are reports that kids rearranging the shelves is terror on the system
hence the indiana jones
wieghts are posted on items
if you take off items and replace them with similar weighted items could you make the system think you put back the more expencive item?
imo it would be a ton easire if they used rfid chips for barcodes
but afaik they are not using rfid
only optics and weights
(Hey, sorry, I know this is non-relevant: does this place have any rules? I tried asking in <#398973785426100234> )
just be respectful afaik
Aight, fair
I suppose it's alright if I bring up some article I wrote? I mean, I'm not here to self-promote (I'm not a journalist), I'd just like if someone with better credientals looked into it or so
@Kane.πΊπΈ.Nexus either way, nobody is going to be able to systematically steal from amazon
when they do inventory and see a loss they can go back to the footage and see who stole it
it's like trying to steal from a casino
except this casino has 100 cameras pointed at you
they have people going on twitter worried that they had shoplifted and Amazon says keep it
Nope
I can do it
I guess you should ditch journalism and start robbing banks for a living
You can rob amazon now?
π
if you rob a bank the feds go after you, if you steal from amazon they say no worries... big difference
i mean once it's fleshed out they will simply ban you if you keep stealing
same with fraud like what linus (kinda) did
Linus Theft Tips β’
i agree though
