danny looks like a military dad finally coming home to his children and trying to find a way to connect with them
I’m so glad somebody finally noticed the hair
certified r/oddlyspecific moment
As a military child I can confirm that he has the military dad haircut
@@jaydenpierre4611 cause he made a video about it
That sounds so sad for the dad
I love that the whole point of the metaverse is to not interact with people by not being in a real Walmart, yet they made an employee talk to you constantly
It's so uncomfortable
you aren't interacting with the floating woman, you are just listening to what she has to say
Corporations don't understand that we employees don't want to talk to customers either 😅
Most of us just want to focus and get our shit done and go home without having to stop constantly and help people find stuff
can you imagine having to pick up like.... hemorrhoid cream and just seeing S.A.M.'s face watching you as you use your digital hand to drag it to your cart
i know she's not real but i would always feel like i'm being judged
@@yikes5683 They probably are aware of that, they just don’t give a shit about the well being of workers (especially considering they can make more money by screwing us over). Capitalism bad :/
as a Walmart employee, the amount of times I heard Noah schnapp advertising this game on the Walmart radio was insane
For some reason when I read this like there was only *the* Walmart radio. Like it was an entity within itself that Walmart worships
@@placeholderdoe ALL HAIL THE GREAT WALMART RADIO!
As a former employee, I thank God every day I no longer have to hear walmart radio. Literally made me viscerally angry hearing the same like 15 songs every day for months and months
GIVE ME BACK THE SKITTLES
@@emilyb.8219 I feel this way about Sirius XM Christmas and 60s at 6. Lollipop and Africa every fucking day through the year, then a thousand versions of the same six songs all from Thanksgiving to New Years. I loved the store I worked in but I'll never understand why Dancing in the Moonlight came on once a week while the shitty songs played at least once a day...
Calling kids "young consumers" is what I expect the big bad robot from a science fiction book to call kids
Nah, it would just call them biofuel...
@@greenalien5509Man I’m dead 💀
lego movie type beat
that pfp is cute, sauce plox
toontown villain esque
Walmart referring to children as Young Shoppers feels so dystopian it's actually hilarious
They are young shoppers. Being in there in the metaverse makes them shoppers, and they are young. They arent implying they are going to be forced to grow up to shop at walmart
@@melody3741 Just refer to children as children??????? It does imply Walmart only sees children as more potential customers To profit off of
I need to admit that the context here completely changes this and this is terrifying
@@melody3741 Children in a VR Walmart does not make them young shoppers...
Future consumers
The random person in the Roblox chat answering Danny's questions is the type of person that is the backbone of society.
Its most likley a grown man trying to catfish children...
@@VetoBlazer how the hell did you come to that conclusion?
@@thatdemoninthecar it's roblox, no kid would ever stay in a walmart shopping game for more than 10 seconds let alone chat and answer stranger's questions
@@tester1991 What makes you think a grown man would go to a Walmart shopping game (which you said no kid would ever stay in for more than 10 seconds) specifically to catfish children? What makes you think there is not a single person under the age of like 18 on Roblox that might want to help another person? They did not try to contact Danny in any other way than the Roblox public chat.
@@tester1991 idk man my 10 year old sister definitely would play In a Walmart land lobby lmaooo
Seeing Danny Gonzalez investigate Roblox is like seeing a wounded deer investigate a theme park. No matter what you happens you know he’s going to get hurt
is this meant to be a reference to his video about the stanley hotel and what he describes shane dawson as
@@WxczutTHAGS WHAG I WAS THINKINHW
this a reference to the stanely hotel video?
@@Annathebelle123 yes
i’m watching it right now. i don’t think i’ve ever noticed this part of the video, idk why, but I just don’t remember it. But anyway, my siblings and I play roblox a lot and i really wish i could teach him how to play, because it’s so funny just watching him struggle. i want to help him 😭
Imagine your mom telling you she’s going to Walmart and then she just stands in the living room with a vr headset on, moving her hands as if she’s grabbing items and placing them in her cart.
This took me out hahahahah
sounds like a concept on f95z
the most unrealistic part of this metaverse is the fact that their shelves are fully stocked and all the items are in the right place
As a former Walmart employee, can confirm
and nobody left a half empty coffee on the shelves
edit: why do people like replies? /genq
@@shouldvesaid13 and nobody opened somethin to eat it halfway then put it back
And nobody left an empty bottle of over-the-counter drugs at the back of the shelf
and no kids are screaming or crying
I feel like corporations are forgetting that normal people DON’T want this virtual dystopia that they seem to think humanity is heading towards. We all actively don’t want that.
Its not like we have any control over it anyways
Walmart is following the "We don't understand it, but it could be the inevitable future, so we will mess around with it" policy
shareholder stuff? idk man :(
That’s why they’re advertising to children and not normal, sentient adults
Yeah, kinda like living without USB ports... 😔
The Walmart VR shopping experience very closely resembles a reoccurring nightmare I would have as a child of going shopping with my mom in a grocery store floating in nothingness with a vampire sales associate chasing us
You had some weird freaking nightmares dude - my most frequent nightmare involved a T Rex chasing me on my way to school!
My nightmare was getting consumed by a wall of flame in a fifth grade classroom ❤
yeah, my reoccuring nightmare from when i was very young was that i was in a liminal space city and that the floor would be filled with shapes that it would hurt if i stepped on them, they would sink into the ground and i would run through the street and then they would appear and id be stuck
Danny and his wife are gonna have a young shopper of their own soon. Congrats 🎉
"We just talked to your smartfridge and it told us you're ugly" is one of the most frightening statements I have ever heard.
BROOO😭😭
“After consulting thoroughly with your smart fridge, we have determined you are unfortunately ugly.”
my family’s smart fridge has a tablet on it and it listens into our conversations, and will literally randomly respond to us talking-
This makes me not want a smart fridge.
@@maggottbelly that's terrifying wtf
When I was working at Walmart we weren't allowed to fight the customers, but I'm happy to hear the company is finally listening to the requests of its employees.
Every time I go to Walmart I never get helped properly, if you do get them to help they go away for like a half hour and you're lucky if they ever come back
what employees, when you quit they said F it and went to nothing but self checkouts lol
@@bakedthepotato5489 What kind of help do you ask for? If you're one of those "can you check in the back?" people, I have no sympathy for you.
@@emperortransman No I ask basic things. Such as "Can you unlock the SD card rack for me?"
@@bakedthepotato5489 Oh I might be able to explain that. Obviously this isn't always the case, but this was the case for me. I would often be asked to unlock things by customers even though I didn't have the keys. So I would go look for the person with the keys or look for someone with a walkie talkie who could summon the person with the keys, usually my manager. Because customers usually caught me in the middle of doing something, I would go back to whatever I was doing. I had no way of knowing if the person with the keys ever showed up.
I worked for Walmart, can confirm that these look JUST like their training videos. They're like from the 90's, super dystopian and depressing. The vibe of this vid is accurate.
his imitation of the hands being terrified made me laugh so hard for no reason
I love how it "verifies" your age based on the age of your account but half of the children lie about their age, so Walmart is selling children alcohol
It's like how mature websites would only put that the ' Are you 18+ ' on the front page as if someone under 18 was just gonna be like ' Oh no of course not I'm sorry I'll leave ' kids are just going to lie if there's no way to prove that they aren't born in 1895 when they try to buy a bottle of vodka or something.
I'm sure theyd ask for pictures of id, but either kids would fake pictures, use their parents id, or just log into the parents account
yes hello i was born in 1769
Well i imagine they'd actually verify it with an ID or credit card they wouldn't just ask
@@ameliemaynard4217 they do. So they're just lying to customers. Again. They also steal tips from delivery drivers
speaking of dystopian walmarts: all 3 of the walmarts in my town replaced ALL of their cashiers with self-checkout lines, the employees are literally only there to fulfill online pickup orders and if you try to talk to a single one of them they either look at you like YOU'RE the weird one for asking an employee where the yogurt is OR like they've been a ghost for 500 years and you're the first person who has ever been able to see them
Kinda why I refuse to use self checkout lines honestly because this is exactly what it's been leading to and I'd rather not contribute to it if i don't have to, it sounds just as off putting as I imagined it.
I can't remember the last time I used a regular checkout at Walmart/Target all my local stores have been replaced as well. Kinda cool since my anxious ass can just grab some trading cards and not interact with anyone at all, but I'm not down for this or support it. So yeah it's sad.
@@donovanfaust3227 what's the downside of what they just described? cashiering is the worst thing on the entire planet. i'd rather be pulling from shelves. what you should be asking is why wages aren't going up for the workers, and that stagnants with or without self checkouts.
Yup. I went to the Hatfield walmart recently and there were 200 foot self checkout lines with all the available employees congregating at the front and talking while chaos insued. I was so mad I just left my cart and walked out the door.
@@viiviviviiv Just means less jobs, companies are all about profit and getting as much labour for as little as they can. I've definitely seen staff counts go down when self checkout is implemented largely
Fun fact: Almonds we eat are called Sweet almonds, being a type of almond genetically modified to be edible since normal almonds contain dangerous amounts of Cyanide, while Sweet almonds do not.
A bitter almond does not contain dangerous amounts, while the content is hugher it is not high enough to harm or kill you. You would need about 50 bitter almonds in one sitting to br coose to fatal. Still a small number but nowhere near being too dangerous to eat
Ohhhh that’s why the 10 almonds daily lifehack didn’t work! /j
@@KysEcstacyI mean yea but if you’re even 1/50th from a fatal dose of something that’s pretty dangerous. Especially considering that a serving of almonds is like half that many
I wanna believe that Netflix was trying to find ways to keep Noah Schnapp busy so he didn't keep talking and were like "Just do this Walmart thing PLEASE"
Imagine working at Walmart HQ and they show you this horrible dystopian simulation that probably cost millions to make, and your boss is standing there smiling at you waiting for you to be like “I love it! So futuristic! People will shop at Walmart more now!” And you have to decide if it’s worth it to tell the truth
imagine being the poor cashier who's paycheck was funneled into walmart's metaverse
Poor employee watched thier salary go down in the drain for this
fr
I would start crying
Why bald?
Danny and drew both doing drastically strange things with their hair so people can finally tell them apart
Now lets wait for kurtboy to like straighten his hair or smth
@@vakarebaranauskaite6691 NEVER
What are you talking about? Drew dyed his hair and then it fell off which is why it’s short here
@@Starsim99 😂
@@jodie6039 how is that funny, it’s quite sad actually. how could you make fun of such a real thing (the joke is that danny’s hair fell out and i “believed it”)
The monorail bit is so funny because that other guy was most likely a child and Danny just messed with him like it was nothing 😂
After watching the video back, I have concluded that Danny gets the coins in walmart land from a badge that he earns from riding the monorail for the first time
Young shoppers... the only phrase that could possibly make it more clear how they value people based solely upon how much of which products they buy would be calling them "Undeveloped Consumers" or some shit
Congratulation you have been selected among my three lucky winners text me on now 🎁🎁🔝☝
Not even mentioning that a lot of stores at least in the states have tiny, child-sized shopping carts with plastic banners that say "customer in training". That should have been the red flag that got legislation on top of this but we all know the gov mostly serves corporations rather than citizens.
😆"Undeveloped Consumers"... You are a marketing GENIUS!
That's how retail and marketing works. They put people into demographic groups and market/sell to those groups. The cold and calculating logic of extracting profit.
"Future Income Targets"
"you already have a full gallon of milk put the milk back!!" YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MILK I DRINK
They will!
*the smartfridge… it knows.*
theyre in cahoots with the chip surgically implanted into your body at birth and now they know everything about you and your diet
Your fridge has betrayed you they already know
your fridge told them your average milk consumption rate
7:25 had me dying laughing with the father staring at the shopping cart going thru the floor lmao
I keep expecting the metaverse experience at the beginning to turn into a horror game and it just remains a serious corporate dystopia. Which is even scarier.
i feel like that walmart vr experience could've been a real cool horror concept
like that one ikea scp
like the walmart fear comic on tumblr
Vr instacart employee horror game.
"your Samsung smart fridge told me you already have a decapitated head bleeding out into your food, would you like to put this one back?"

@@mammoneymelon making fun of someone for that is crazy
17:53 thats.... literally the easiest obby ive ever seen
Game theory: Walmart made that video feel so dystopian so you'd rather go to a real Walmart instead
"Refrigerator, Refrigerator" "Yes, Walmart?" "Do you have Milk Jug?" "No, Walmart" "Telling lies?" "No, Walmart" "Open your door" "Ha Ha Ha"
Why tf is this not a top comment lmfao
@@Nitrolord It wasn't early 😔
the poor refrigerator has more trauma now
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can hear it in my head. I sang it aloud too. It fits so perfectly
Danny's continued hatred of smart fridges is inspiring. What it inspires, I wouldn't like to say.
We all know you beat up the pink fridge from Billion Surprise Toys in the back of an alley.
Return the monstrocity to its next of kin please.
it reminds me of drew and his sleep pod ngl
It inspires hatred
I don't get why people would care if you fridge knows what you have in stock. It actually sounds like one of the only decent uses for smart appliances.
Say it.
I was helping my sister study for her anthropology test (on monkeys and evolution etc.) and she mentioned bonobos (the monkeys)-so of course I immediately thought of *bonobos sweater blue* and it’s been stuck in my head ever since
The only detail on the study guide about bonobos was “they’re always having sex” so do with that what you will
gonna get those bonobos sweater blue balls i suppose
It's like a friendly social thing for them I think
Bonobos more like BONEbos
fun fact, bonobo behavior is probably very similar to the behavior of our early ancestors! and yes, they have sex all the time with everyone. straight sex, lesbian sex, gay sex (aka “pen1s jousting”). they don’t discriminate!
Whenever I hear bonobos, I think of Gamegrumps calling them constant fuck monkeys
Watching this after the noah schnapp controversy hits different
With his glasses, long buzzcut, and one color T shirt he looks like every 5 year old I have ever seen. This was probably the point but I’m just impressed that he managed to get it so accurate.
bro fr tho
Johnny johnny cosplay
It looks good tho
True gamer look
@@superxxamadeus4098 next time on Danny Gonzalez: yes papa cosplay
That’s crazy that Walmart can advertise directly to children, without transparency, with impunity
Just relax. Everything is fine. No way that this will turn to 💩.
Blame Ronald Reagan?
Yeah there’s definitely not any laws about that or anything ..
And then when TH-cam does it, the entire site risks getting shut down.
@@mastermarkus5307 everything wrong with this country today started with reagan and nixon.
''Noah Schnapp is hosting a game in Walmart Land'' is an insane sentence
i wish theyd greenscreened him so the background was actually walmart land. not because it would make it better but just because it would look really funny
11:55 as someone who has played roblox for like 8 years its so weird seeing someone not know what an obby is

He’s played the game for like an hour and has already discovered the most fun thing on the app
I have, embarassingly, played Roblox for the last 9 years and it's always funny to see people try it out for the first time because it unironically is really fucking confusing
I would love to have a happy medium between irl Walmart and metaverse Walmart (I want to be alone in a Walmart with a self checkout)
I absolutely loved the part where the young shoppers said “It’s young shopp’in time” and then proceeded to viciously young shop all over the floor.

21:57 my job is terrible but at least it's not recording myself asking netflix trivia questions for a corporate dystopia in a children's video game
15:05 I killed a man for this monorail ride. But, you know what they say, “THERE’S NO WRONG WAY TO PLAY!”
There is no way in my wildest dreams as a kid I would have imagined fast forwarding to 2022 and watching a video on a tiny computer in my hand with Danny declaring he doesn't want Walmart talking to his fridge behind his back and me realizing that's a valid concern that some people have to have in these weird times
Holy fuck

I reverted back to when I was a kid playing Roblox and it stressed me out because that obby was so mf easy
Edited to change a word because I messed up lol
This 🤣
That demo might be- and I say this with no exaggeration- the most dystopian thing I have ever seen
0:36 “let’s just say, daddy likey” is a horrible quote taken out of context 💀
If you go to Walmart virtually then you'll miss out on that delicious stale cigarette smell as you walk into a real Walmart, and that's really a touch of charm I can't let go of.
This is one of the best comments I have ever read 😭
I can't hookup TH-cam to my VR headset and drown out everyone else around me, how am I suppose to enjoy the experience of going outside?
You'll miss out on all the suspicious grey grit/dust on the floor of the craft aisle 😭
‼️Don't forget all the colorful locals! It's not a Walmart without a morbidly obese person dressed in comically small clothes while riding the Walmart scooter. Ofc honking wildly at anyone who gets too close.
Also the smell of McDonald's in the parking lot. Where does it come from? Who knows
Oh wow! As a British child I can finally experience the American shopping experience! I bet Walmart will 100% be looking like this in real life, how cool!
As an American kid I can confirm that this is accurate
One more win for the non-american children!
Wait till the virtual predators try to grab your virtual kids.
@@stoptrudeau42 That’s been happening since the start of the internet, nothing new there
Will it have The People of Walmart roaming around? It will not be authentic otherwise.
Watching Danny fail at one of the most easy obbies is hilarious to me.
I‘m always amazed at how lame and pointless these metaverses are.
The sound of fucking glass shattering when the wine gets tossed into the cart has me absolutely fucking geeking
At 3:08 for reference
You know, if they put some wonky skyrim type physics in, I could totally see this worth st least being a good laugh for a single use.
My favorite part in skyrim(and my own perverted fsntasy) is when I jump up on the giant tables, covered in elaborate tableware and food, and just start FLINGING THE SHIT ALL OVER THE PLACE, RIGHT IN NPC'S FACES, LIKE SOME BRAINDEAD CAVEMAN!!!!!
I've always fantasized about doing that at the Thanksgiving dinner table, and when I'm in walmart I always fantasize about trying to "domino" all the shelves over in the entire store, and I think it would be awesome if the VR could become a fucked up playground to vandalize and act out horrible things inside a fakeWalmart. .
it’s so stupid funny lmfaooo
and the zooming noise when the cart goes to the car 😭
imagine if you got it delivered and it was just wet pieces of broken glass
After briefly working in sales, I'm convinced they're from another planet. The people who make those "shopping experiences" think people want a person constantly talking to them and can't comprehend someone who wouldn't like that, even when you tell them directly. They 100% wanted that whole hologram guide thing irl
fr. i've actually found that leaving people alone until they make it clear that they need/want help is actually better for business than constantly being on someone's tail
@@finleypedersen2854 yeah, like, do they not understand that people don't like being treated like a child lol
ok
@@finleypedersen2854 I think it varies from person to person, but generally I've found older people want to be talked to, younger people want to be left alone. But also old people are the first ones to lose their shit if you mess up at all.
@@finleypedersen2854 yeah, i’m english and the fact that workers in america constantly welcome you in, talk to you ,follow you, pack YOUR shopping for you etc is so weird to me?? it might be because english people (probably just europeans in general) are just very closed off, but i would literally never go shopping if any of that happened here lmao, i’m not a 9 year old
Please don’t delete this video because of the Noah controversy it’s one of my favorites

What controversy?
@@_tomiichiidk, i still like stranger things as a show even though theres people like noah schnapp involved (and other controversies). ill pirate the 5th season yk, but not this video because its dannys work, its not actuslly centred around noah praise or anything

oh!
As a Roblox veteran watching him struggle to figure it out is hilarious
as a roblox veteran I too am constantly lost and disgusted
The obby is so simple it makes me want to cry watching him struggle.
"How do I put on this frickin' dress?! I have a feeling it's in this bag, but there's, like, a list of players in the way, so I can't click on the bag."
“An Obby? Am I supposed to know what that is?”

probably took 19 takes
@@hornacle Him and Millie definitely laughed about this a lot lol

Lmfao they didn't even bother to put him on a set of anything. The lighting is terrible, he seems completely disaffected, I bet he filmed it on an iphone set up on a tripod
"I already feel kind of dystopian going to a regular walmart in the real world" as a walmart cashier this is so real
18:35 i love how the timed chat is just roblox kids bullying danny for being bad at the obby
Watching that dystopian walmart vr clip felt like getting a glimpse into a circle of purgatory. Like if you die at a grocery store, you get sent to this weird walmart limbo and are never allowed to leave, you just have to shop forever while your groceries disappear as you buy them and then you have to get more. So yeah thats gonna haunt my dreams now thanks
Black mirror episode
Sounds lovely!
@@sooahnim naw
Added incentive, you have a starving family waiting for you at home-- therefore, you can't just stop shopping or refuse to participate in the endless cycle.
It would make for a good Backrooms level.
Okay i lowkey wanna play this now. Also danny being so happy about beating a kid in an argument was actually hilarious.
8:08 Wait wait... So Walmart and Meta are going to stalk children online, then blimps follow the parents around the store such that their kids complain them into dropping toys into the cart? I really hope they use hydrogen. 😂

@@MollyHJohns exactly my thoughts when I saw it. I was concerned for Danny’s safety when I clicked on the video

I love how there's not a button or anything at the top to play the Netflix trivia and you have to venture on a quest through Walmart Land instead to find Noah Schnapp and play Netflix trivia with him
I really hope people start making horror games on this concept. Like it’s the perfect theme for a psychological horror dystopian game.
There’s one that Jacksepticeye played, I can’t remember what it’s called but it’s basically stacking shelves and trying to avoid customers because they stop you finishing your jobs and you get fired if you don’t. They also chase you if you run away and you have to hide in the staff room.
I remember that one time I went to Walmart with my dad at like 6:30 and as we walked into the store I fully expected to turn around and see just more Walmart behind me.
@@blackparademistress1 are u thinking of night of the consumers?
well there's actually a game ON roblox called "SCP 3008", and you're in a huge ikea while the employees try to kill you. you can also build a house out of things you find in the store so it's pretty fun
real life is a horror game
That one side of Danny's chair headrest poking out behind him towards the end of the video is consistently hilarious to me and I don't know why.

Also, why did it have instructions in Portuguese
@@betoh7140 IDK maybe because it was introduced in another country first idrk
@@ledzeppelinrestores Well Walmart doesn’t even exist on Portugal or Angola, is extremely minor in Brazil and Mozambique, and I honestly don’t think they’d release their metaverse on Cape Verde, East Timor or something lol (not downplaying them, just that it’d seem unproductive to me)
I am at school for Fashion Design, and we all have to take a course where each week we write a short paper about contemporary designers/brands that belong to whatever that week’s topic is. (accessibility, bridal, sustainability, couture, etc.) One week the topic was “Metaverse/NFTs”. Every other sentence of research had me needing a lie-down. To sum up, I was just sitting there when my roommate, also a design major, cried out in grief “GUCCI TOWN?!?” That’s right folks, Walmartland is small pebbles.
LMAOOOO i go to fashion school too and they keep making us talk about the metaverse too it's the worst
GUCCI TOWN.....I'm praying for you and your roomie
@@amandaaaa how do u get into fashion school? i wanna go for fashion journalism and idk where to start 😭 im 16
That sounds so awful! Ugh. This whole Walmartland thing was just gross to me, and pretending that it's not blatantly advertising to children is just ew.
nevermind
Boy sure would be unfortunate if the focus on a certain Stranger Things actor didn't make this video age incredibly badly
Walmart thinking that VR shopping would look more like physical shopping instead of something completely different like a digital catalog reminds me of people in the past thinking that “the future of mobility” will be a metal horse pulling a carriage, instead of a “car”.
In all the trouble and grief, the walmart metaverse is what i needed
its what we all need
Hello name twin
I understand.
Me too 🥲! Also I imagine after they said to pick up your car and Danny realized that maybe your supposed to be in Walmart for this … I couldn’t help but to picture like a resident evil umbrella type Walmart where there are like hundreds of people with headsets on in a white room and cords going back to the Walmart main frame 🫣(where you can never leave)🤣
in all the relief and happiness, the walmart metaverse is not what i needed.
I had a nightmare about a never ending walmart that stretched on endlessly and it still wasn't as mind-numbingly fucking terrifying as this
Like the Ikea SCP

3:00 It's a lot easier to compulsively shop when you have a digital Professor Umbridge guilt you into it. If you're anything like me, you'll add a bunch of things to your cart and then CLOSE the window. No more, they say! Let's go shopping!
playing the obby in the background was the best way get me to not skip the ad. good job danny. express vpn give him an award
Danny's chat at 17:25 "that seems like a huge oversight on walmarts part. I'm tanking their stock price for this" is highly good and should be recognized.
thank you
also the girl at 17:30 that said she tried to dance and it didnt work, thats because the command is /e dance not e/dance , u can dance in walmart land 😭 she lied to danny

this is a very specific reference but danny with the sunglasses and buzzcut looks like the kid that gets hit in the head with a baseball and disappears from that goosebumps episode about a summer camp where they all end up being aliens preparing to travel to earth

Remember when you were a kid staring into a dark closet or room, and you would feel a primal, yet indescribable feeling of discomfort and fear? That's what I feel when watching and learning about Walmart Land.
I just feel like Roblox looks like a poorer version of VRChat.
Gives me no discomfort or fear (might want to have that checked out), just apathy.
That primal fear is crazy. Had a similar experience recently to the point I had a nightmare about it
Agreed about the hovering assistant. Please just let me roam in the void by myself please and choose my own products. "A family size bag of peanut butter M&Ms? We don't have any record of you having a family." No no no. Danny's face at 6:11 says it all.
"Are you going to eat that? All of it?"
"Your smart fridge told us you already had half a pie today. Are you sure you need those M&Ms?"
"And you're buying two packs of Mountain Dew? Your fridge didn't alert us that you're having a party anytime soon"
Years ago I've talked with a developer working on an IoT project who told me the result of the very first study they did on the subject was that costumers will never accept a product tat feels patronizing. The AI should help them with theur decisions, not make decisions for them. This was in 2014. Weird how that message still hasn't come across.
@@juliamavroidi8601 It's full r/boringdystopia out there now.
ah yes, shaming people for eating: the vr experience
I know this is like almost a year late, but I REALLY want to see Danny play more Roblox. This gave me joy.
I just got jumpscared by bald Danny
That thing about the smartfridge and already having a gallon of milk just absolutely slays me. This is in the _metaverse_ and you're not actually _at_ Walmart, if you're wondering whether you already have milk you can just take the headset off and _look in the fridge yourself_ to find out! Who the hell needs their smart devices to tell them what's going on in their house when they're already _in_ the house?
Am I supposed to never take my headset off? Do I just live in the metaverse now and have trusted family members or neighbors feed me the food I order from Walmart while I spend 100% of my time shopping online? Do they really think this meta-Walmart is so goshdamn engaging that I'd rather have a digital assistant log into my fridge to tell me about my milk situation when I could just pause the program and stretch my legs for a minute by going to check?
I've heard of a solution in search of a problem before, but this is a new one on me: a non-solution in search of a non-problem.
idk if that was your intent but this made me laugh so hard
If my fridge is truly smart, it'll mind its own business. Unless it wants to get unplugged.
right? a smart fridge or storage would be smart if I was at the store and not sure if I actually have something at home. it makes no sense if I'm at home and just too lazy to look
Imagine if you're somewhere else like an airbnb and you need milk but your roommates have already gotten milk and the metaverse keeps yelling at you that you already have milk
This probably started as an tiny AR concept that got way too much budget diverted to it, so more and more nonsense got grafted on to make it look less like embezzlement.
I work with the blind and visually impaired and I can see how the “assistant shopper” could be helpful if it identified items, disclosed prices, and provided info on what was included in each aisle. But it doesn’t look like that was their market or considered when they did the creepy commercial 😂
Oh nooooo 😭
It would be helpful irl
@@JenSell1626 it would be more accessible and useful as some form of AR. This ultimately could allow for anyone with a capable device to get help from the automated employee on a wide range of customer oriented concerns.
That's the thing with a lot metaverse, and AI technologies - they could very well be suited to address accessibility needs, but you know humanities are irrelevant to STEM after all
Also, a properly accessible website with audio would solve that problem! without a need for floating Walmart torso lady!
I will never get over the fact Danny calls himself daddy it’s too funny
It’s especially dystopian because they’re like “here let the robot deliver it to your car!” And show you a fake drone delivering it to your car while in real life, a struggling, overworked, single parent is lugging it out to the car
That are you are specifically not allowed to tip or they get in trouble
@@thatfuzzypotato1877 It sucks because if you say no they either insist or you risk them getting mad for denying them their hero moment. So you have to take the tip just to give it to your manager to give to the company. Meanwhile the dipshits are like “I just paid that guy’s rent” for tipping a dollar and 20 cents.
but walmart is actually testing drone deliveries lolllll

22:18 "he didn't even look like a roblox character" idk man he's got a pretty square jaw he's doing his best
He looks so old it's weird

What’s the problem with him saying his name in every video?
Bitch, he got them long socks

The fridge knowing what you have seems like a plot point I'd expect in a murder novel, like the killer has to store the body but needs to find a vintage fridge bc the modern ones will alert the police 😭
That sounds like a hilarious dark comedy. Like, a group of people accidentally killed a man. And they have no idea what to do with the body, so it just becomes a similar situation in Weekend At Bernie’s, but it’s the group having to find a “vintage” fridge. At one point, one of the main characters just pretends to be an inspector to check a bunch of people’s fridges, but (because this is a dystopian future) that character has to pretend to be a human AI or smth

I have a vintage fridge. It has a giant lazy susan instead of fixed shelves. I love it.
this is bloody brilliant and will be going through my head all day
i will not be able to sleep until this becomes a thing
That would be fun!
Danny has his own little shopper on the way 😊
Ah yes, rather than checking your fridge we need a remotely accessed fridge inventory that walmart can see at all times. That would never go wrong! cough cough, the amazon incident, cough cough
The ironic thing about making the assistant a full on human model instead of a disembodied voice, is that the people who want a full on human hovering around them the whole time are probably not going to be on metaverse, and those that are shopping online are probably either heavily socially anxious or want a more ‘futuristic’ experience
For I passed on to you, as of first importance, the account I had received, that Christ died for our sins, as the Scriptures foretold, that he was buried, that on the third day he was raised from the dead, as the Scriptures foretold 1 Corinthians 15
