oh yeah, because it would be relative decision-making based on bias from a human watching. So worrying about racism and sexism wasn't far fetched

Every artificial intelligence technology has hundreds and even thousands of precarious workers labeling and training the models.

@@lomuscko It wasn't marketed as a "in training project", it was marketed as a ready finished product that was entirely AI.

@@Circa1628 "Camera AI"/machine learning technology are as racist, if not more racist than the humans who created them. For the humans, we have some awareness of our biases and can course-correct it, whereas the machine learned its bias from the data and uses it to "justify" new actions - that if it is trained to recognize anything nonwhite at all.

I thought so too!

Because he's smart, after all he knows he's living in the US. The country of equality.

which is a good thing...because (if I remember right)...if you hold an item ABOVE the checkout sensor when leaving (as he did)...it doesn't register it as being purchased... so he did not, in fact; purchase the item as the system intended.

yeah and we already have these. they're called "smash and grabs" not grab and gos xD

I'm white but HATE white neighborhoods because they're all busy-body Republicans and I'm a weed-smoking musician and Democrat....All the stores around my neighborhood have a zillion cameras, RF tags on everything,...you name it. Half the time I walk out a store something beeps, boops or bings. Ever notice those Height-yardsticks on the doors of stores when you go out. They're for identifying armed robbers. Ever notice they go down to 4 1/2 Feet? I cannot WAIT to see that little dude bust a move and end up in the news...My family sometimes hints.."Wouldn't you be 'more comfortable' someplace less...um...'urban'?", to which I replay "Can you walk one block in any direction and buy weed?" "No, but..." "Then, no. I'm good"."

Troy you need to research some crime statistics, break it down to crimes committed by ethnicity. Also, to talk of tags and cameras seems outdated. You do know that this technology has been commonly used since the 90's? And nearly everywhere since 2010's. With nothing to go on but location,we found the Boston city bombers with cameras from store fronts, citizens and traffic cams. Victimizing yourself over outdated technology is sad. Are you one of Smollett's attorneys by chance? Really though, how many times have you posted on here? Seem triggered... Let's Go Brandon!

THIS!

Every self checkout I’ve used doesn’t ask and just gives me a receipt, and I always take it.

Same. My kids like to act up when we go to self checkout and I get so nervous that I forget to scan something. I would hate to be stopped for stealing. I would literally faint from embarrassment

I'm glad to see comments like this. It proves that many of us are honest and pay for our stuff. But ya know too many people ruined it for us! They need their behinds whooped!

Yeah 🤣🤣

the funny thing is that in the stores they have an Alexa you can walk up to and ask questions to

Me toooooo

The way Ego said that was hilarious

🤣 exactly.

yes there was, thats just fake news saying it was just those precarious workers, they work in tandem with this stupid too-much technology lol

@@jplveigaNot fake news. 70% of the transactions required human reevaluation, despite an internal target of 2-5%. Practically speaking, it was just cashiers monitoring your every move through the store via cameras. It was nothing more sophisticated than that.

It also pointed out how often all these algorithms and programs and scans somehow manage to incorrectly or be entirely unable to process black people's faces since they're almost always programmed and tested by white people. I love the look of growing disgust on Ego's face as the voice over says each thing.

@@breakingames7772 How is he wrong? The whole skit is about Black folks handling ourselves differently in stores due to racial profiling and how we tend to be way more cautious with new technology/services like this? The original post is VALID.

@@johnjames502FYI thieves come in different races. Some just get away with it more than others because of the colour of their skin.

Yeah would be hesitant to go into one of these stores. I do want to know what is the rate of theft compared to other stores.

Only SNL can be racist.

i bet michael che wrote it :)

@@brendanbloomberg3283 it’s not racist, they are pointing out the fact that people are trying to make it look like black people commit crimes which is what the characters were worried about in the sketch

@@brendanbloomberg3283 racist against who?

You've NEVER seen In Living Color or Mad Tv, have you?

this isn't a problem though??

​​@@wantsanewvehicleOh, you sweet summer child. Look again. Notice how some of the characters are afraid to partake in this style of shopping? That's because they're afraid of being accused of shoplifting, due to having experienced people stereotyping and expecting the worst of them. Let me break it down further for you with a real - life example: I worked in a clothing store and often helped direct people into the fitting rooms. One day, a customer I assisted happened to be a Black man. Before stepping inside of his fitting room, he felt the need to tell me that the jacket that he was wearing belonged to him, because he wad afraid to be accused of shoplifting. The jacket WAS his, and I felt really sad that he felt the need to protect himself, because he had been unfairly accused or suspected in the past. On the other hand, I had never encountered a White customer who felt worried about mistreatments and accusations.

@@AllezVous222 well said

@@AllezVous222Same with Asians (except Filipinos) also don’t get accused of shoplifting like that.

@@AllezVous222 Hang on a minute. So all those people running into Nordstrom and grabbing all that stuff were just using Amazon Go?!? Why didn't the media reveal that part of the story? I swear, journalism in this country is dead.

Me. I went into the store a few months ago after they removed this and I was sad. This was my fave grocery store because of this. The dash cart is objectively terrible. I use Instacart for regular stores because they are terrible. Especially since the pandemic lockdowns were lifted. All the ones near me are heavily understaffed and have too many shoppers. Ugh.

Was this an actual store??? Must have been in America, because I hadn't even heard of this.

I thought it was gonna turn into a joke about San Francisco

It’s funny because in real life, they don’t need any convincing to steal!

👏🏾 Exactly! I also make sure I don’t have to go in my purse for anything and if I do I walk right up to a store associate and do it standing next to them them, not gonna accuse me of sh*t. Thanks.

I always walk down department store isles with both hands in my pocket... Looking with my eyes👀... Don't want no misunderstandings

Sad but true..just today I was at the grocery store and picked up some eggs one cracked in my hand..I’m like dang open my purse took a napkin and hand sanitizer. Then thought dang they probably gonna think I’m stealing something--I took my time with that hand sanitizer and slowly closed my purse back😂

As a brown person I relate to this so much. I also have to buy something because they think I'm SUS if I don't.

@Annistar Yes, because harassing a child is "risking her life". We all know that 14 year old schoolgirls walk around armed with guns and knives to go shopping for makeup- well, the black ones do, at least. 🙄 I wasn't even bigger than her yet but sure, a little girl wearing florals and carrying a backpack was totally a threat. You know this is the second time I've gotten a comment like this on KZfaq implying that apprehending *me* was dangerous for *her* somehow? Black people don't attack at the slightest provocation. We're not fucking pitbulls. It was a Walgreens, btw.

@@zurirobinson2749 Dude acts like he's never seen a Karen video. There's random white people lurking around every corner ready to harass us for stupid stuff, and they're clearly not afraid. I remember years ago when I parked in my assigned car port at my apartment complex, and some white lady came out of nowhere telling me I didn't have the right to park there because, "You have to pay to park there." I told her I did pay, but she was still convinced I was lying. When she finally accepted I had a right to be there, she then blamed the apartment managers like they had done something wrong by allowing me to exist, I guess. She moved out that same year.

@@zurirobinson2749 Ignore the racist idiots who try to discount our very real lived lives all because acknowledging our pain means they have to face their part in creating and/or perpetuating that pain.

You dont know? Black people have superpowers.​@zurirobinson2749

@annistar9693They do. A CVS employee choked a man for stealing a few years back.People follow others around all the time.

Why did she have to frame him like that, though?

For a second I thought it would be a joke about shoplifting. Like getting the high of putting it in your purse without the crime part. This was way funnier.

Lol

OMG Yes!! I dont care what type of checkout I use, my receipt is in hand- up in air walking towards the exit

Remember "Sunday Brunch" a few years back with them and Leslie Jones? "How you doin', Deacon Smith?" Chris Redd: "Hongry. Bless and hongry!"...ded.

Chris has the funniest "crazy eyes " on tv. And he pulls it off perfectly. Just watched the Alexa for older people and it was too funny also

Keenan and Chris in The Game sketch is one of my favorites. Or the ATM one with Sam Rockwell. I need Chris and his crazy eyes to be in movies, please.

Chris redd roast of alec Baldwin was on fire....... so funny. Redd: " for the last time man, I'm not Michael che "

I don't blame you at all. I'm a white dude and it captures my feelings. Can't imagine how much worse it would be for you.

That's because the folks that think it's a good idea to be criminals are making hard af for we, the honest people of color. I can't tell you how stressful it is to go shopping and not feel like all eyes are on me like I am one of those criminals. I've never stolen anything from any store in my life!

Thank You!!!

You mean like how they dont prosecute some types of shoplifting?

@@Robby_Rob Here, let me spell it out for you: Due to systemic structural racism, African Americans are often unfairly profiled as shoplifters by shopkeepers, and thus followed, watched closely, and scrutinized, sometimes even falsely accused of stealing. Because of this, many black people might feel uncomfortable with the idea of a store where you just take something and walk out. The contrast between this common collective experience of black americans and the largely opposite experience of white americans sets up the basis for humor in this video. Get it now?
