Wait what? When did they reveal it's offloaded to workers in India? I remember this being touted as fully automated when it was announced, surely being watched by strangers from creepy angles would discourage a large portion of customers.

- shmatt 3y agoThere is usually a mention of "humans in the loop" when articles discussed Amazon Go[1]. Amazon just always refused to give actual numbers. The best "give" that humans were watching you was that Amazon Go receipts often arrived in your email many hours after you left. Anyone who works in computer vision immediately knew this wasn't possible beyond a cool proof of concept in a tiny room with <300 SKUs. Even in 2024 [1] https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/21/inside-amazons-surveillance-powered-no-checkout-convenience-store/?guccounter=1 https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/21/inside-amazons-surveillanc...
