Peoole aren’t appreciating just how bad these things are because they’re misinterpreting it. The goal of what they are doing here and with Amazon was never to just fake the technology right. The goal was to fake that the technology existed by using humans to do an automated thing and then to leverage that into making it actually automated.

But essentially what that means is theyre inventing technology that hasn’t been invented yet and selling it to you and the reason for doing so is to replace you with technology before it can even technically happen.

It’s essentially like someone building a new automated factory and telling workers at their other locations that they can’t be hired there since it’s automated but then someone goes inside and finds out they’re just using child laborers until the robots are ready and also robots haven’t been invented yet.

They’re using blood to grease wheels that don’t even exist to turn yet.

On the other hand, the only way to get good training data is to generate data indistinguishable from the real-world scenario and then have humans mark it up the way you want the system to do it. You might as well have the data actually be from the real world and recoup some of the costs with sales.

  Sure, but you still shouldn’t be selling the technology as actually working, instead of developing.
  
  Amazon bought whole foods a while back. What would have stopped them from just collecting the data in their own stores, and then developed the tech?
  
  Hunt: shareholder value.

    I won’t pretend that Amazon avoided that due to ethical concerns, but doing that would have almost the exact same ethical concerns.

    All they had to do was run the tech alongside traditional cashiers. Make it known on entry, and your fine. No ethical concerns.
    
    But what they did was sell tech they didnt have to shareholders to pump up the stock.

Feels like it should be illegal to mislead people like that.
