#Amazon Ditches 'Just Walk Out' Checkouts at Its Grocery Stores

Amazon Fresh is moving away from a feature of its grocery stores where customers could skip checkout altogether.

Though it seemed completely automated, Just Walk Out relied on more than 1,000 people in India watching and labeling videos to ensure accurate checkouts. The cashiers were simply moved off-site, and they watched you as you shopped.

"Job two got so easy and was still 100% remote, so I kept it while I got job three," he said, adding: "I hung in there because the pay was good and I wasn't really doing anything."

An agency created an #AI #model who earns up to $11,000 a month because it was tired of #influencers 'who have egos'

Cruz told Euronews he decided to design López after having trouble working with real models and influencers. "We started analyzing how we were working and realized that many projects were being put on hold or canceled due to problems beyond our control. Often it was the fault of the influencer or model and not due to design issues," he said.

So real influencers are the first jobs killed by AI.

On the one hand, I think it's a shame that the uncritical target group doesn't care whether the person is real. On the other hand, real models are also almost indistinguishable from AI-generated images due to the beauty filters.

After an 11-week investigation, Indiana #safety officials found that Amazon failed to ensure a #workplace “free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause #death” and issued a serious safety citation.

The #penalty? A $7,000 fine, the maximum in Indiana.

This is what happens when you deregulate everything and rely on the self-regulation of the market.

A 20-year-old Amazon employee died at work. Indiana issued a $7,000 fine.

Amazon’s safety record is under unprecedented scrutiny, but state and federal regulators often have limited ability to enforce policies.
