    Jesus christ these headlines mislead everything.

    One article included how often employees needed to look at the cameras. That was the case in something like 80% of the times people went in to shop.

    The goal was to train ML enough so that humans were rarely necessary, obviously.

    The headline is pretty accurate. That might have been the goal, but they didn’t come close. And now they are closing down those stores.

    Seems that they utterly failed in the goal.

    Machine learning has lots of errors until you train it.

    These stores were open for a pretty long time. It’s not a given that it’s just a matter of training.
