Wait. Magic isn't real? 😂
Seriously, did anyone really think this was some kind of AI or "disruptive tech"?
I've always suspected this was more Flinstones technology than modern innovation.
"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."
During our morning walk I saw this Melolontha (Maikäfer) on the street.
I took him up and brought it to the next patch of grass.
It's the second one I see this year. It's causes a bit mixed feelings. I'm happy that I find them and watch them closely.
But it also makes me sad because when I was a child, I saw them ways more often.
