Am I the only one who gets to the self checkout and is compelled to finish as soon as humanly possible?

Imagine if there was a speedrun timer on them and a leaderboard

Would make boring everyday life a little more interesting

Nothing wrong with AI, it's a tool that's very good at specific problems

Tech companies just don't know what is and isn't a good use case yet

Honestly "track this person's movements and figure out what they picked up using this huge amount of sensor and camera data" should be a pretty good ML use case, but Amazon doesn't really have the right technical talent to make that work.

True, you'd think Amazon would have the talent to do it though if they wanted to
