They discontinued its use because they couldn't get the error rate down - they wanted it to require review 50 out of 1000 times but they were stuck at 700/1000. So TL;DR it was AI but apparently not very good AI.
I mean culturally we used to speculate that the future would or could be robots we were like “oh no what if the robots gain sentience, that’ll be slavery what a moral quandary ,” and we did all that speculative mind-fapping for nothing because it turns out the answer to those questions in reality is a pyramid scheme that pretty much ends in slavery…we can’t solve slavery as an answer to maintaining “ civilization”I mean we probably could if we actually committed to trying it, but humankind can’t seem to do that and we don’t even have real robots to show for it.

The law just changed in Oregon this year, we can pump our own gas now. There are still gas attendants at all the stations but I imagine they'll be phased out eventually.
@Imbatmn57It's not illegal for a gas attendant to pump your gas in a non attendant state, it's just they don't because they're one less person they have to pay (or several if it's a big gas station)

Jarvis is correct, the original idea was the Indian workers would be temporary to help train the algorithm, but the thing about current "AI" models is no one has figured out how to get them stop hallucinating data. It might not even be possible. So Amazon realized they were never going to get past the "training" stage and actually have the AI take over because the AI was never going to be reliable enough to justify the cost of all the cameras and servers and everything to do the job of a minimum wage employee.
Almost every statement thus far by the public and experts alike of the form "AI will always be limited by X" has been proven wrong, so continuing to push the goalposts in this way is a bit of cope. Maybe they won't replace Indian employees anytime soon, but that doesn't mean they aren't capable of overcoming these major limitations and gaining the power to cause us serious harm. Watch some of Rob Miles' channel for an expert perspective on the matter; his latest video is very insightful.

I actually worked security for Amazon's Seattle campus back in 2017, and was the body they placed in the new Amazon Go they were opening downtown for the last round of QA testing as well as its grand opening. Watching it in action, I was sure that grocery stores over the next few years were going to try to buy that tech or develop their own to phase out cashiers... this news makes it pretty obvious why that never happened. Doesn't make much sense to get rid of cashiers and put in sensors when you need nearly a hundred times the manpower to fill in the cracks in the tech.
I was raised on star wars, stargate and star trek, and i was named after Kira from star trek: deep space nine, and i've never gotten sick of it. it makes me happy and even proud to be part of multiple generations of trekkies, because my grandparents on my mothers side met over their love of star trek the original series back in the 60s before going on to attend civil rights protests together and get arrested together and then start a band together and all sorts of stuff that never would have happened if not for star trek. so i can understand how a girl named after princess leia isn't sick of star wars
That’s actually super sweet! I like the name Kira. Kira is a subtler name than Leia, too, so I’d call it a safer choice if you turned out not to not like Star Trek
My sibling is a hair stylist and they say that their favourite clients are the ones that start off by saying some version of "I don't want to chat please just cut my hair"
I just fully disassociate when I get a haircut thankfully most people I've had cut my hair seem to get the message but being able to check a box seems awesome
Jordans hair story about the two barbers on same shift is literally a plot of a Seinfeld episode. It sucks I think their audience is too young too notice that
I got briefly hired on and trained for a company who did "intent analysis". they sent you clips of people saying something they need to an automated system, and you had to quickly identify what they wanted and put it in the system. I will never recover from learning that some automatic answering systems on the phone are literally just random people identifying what you said instead of just talking to someone on the phone. I have no idea how universal this is, but they did work for the CDC and shit.
I’m a trans guy who lives in a very small appalachian town and I go to a barber who has a confederate flag out front and says weird transphobic stuff all the time but I keep going back because for some reason she genders me correctly the whole time and gives me super gender affirming cuts despite knowing I’m trans and she’s the only person in my town who knows how to cut curly hair 😭
But she’s racist 😢😢😢 & possibly worse. just like I wish Jarvis had walked out of that barber who clearly was trying to push him (he wouldn’t dare do that w/ somebody more intimidating, think of that scene from Atlanta) I wish the same for you cuz I shudder to know what ur barber does when u walk out… And you’re tipping her well?? 😭 I will personally help you find a better barber bc hell nah. She prob talks sh*t about you when u leave anyway, & certainly votes against your interests at the ballot box. But will gladly take your $$$. Baby pls find better!!
I went back & reread, & she says transphobic stuff as well??? Documented proof?? She’s prob spitting in your shampoo bottle when ur not looking lmao. Yall just no. Stand up. 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you guys for this podcast. I have been going through a really hard time, trying to adapt to nerve pain in my dominant arm, and watching this episode is the first time I've laughed this week. I can't exactly pinpoint why, but I always I find the podcast kind of comforting in a way.
I grew up in rural Missouri and my grandma always went to an old MFA Oil filling station. It had two gas pumps and a line that rang a bell when it was it driven over to let the attendants know someone had pulled up. The old man there would fill the tank, and while the pump was going, check the oil and clean the windshield. When he was done he'd come back to the car with an invoice you would sign and he'd add the total to your tab with the station to be paid later. It was pretty neat!
Oregon recently started allowing us to pump our own gas in most cities. Every gas station had to dedicate half of its pumps to self-serve and the other to full service.
Having young kids, trying to find safe content, put on the alphabet song. They sang it the standard tune... but lyrics "A and B and C and D..." Scarred for life.
OH my goodness "Battle of New Orleans" was my childhood anthem! Fun fact: The singer, Johnny Horton, his specific genre of music was called "Honky-Tonk Rockabilly." I just think that's neat
THANK YOU. i thought it sounded like him, and then he mentioned the “wooden ball” in the avocado and i immediately went down to the comments to see if anyone had said it.
weirded out solely by the fact that I saw an amazon fresh earlier for the first time since it first came out, and made a point to mention it to my sister. I'd forgotten about them entirely
Idk if this sounds weird but the way that Jarvis’s hair is cascading down his forehead makes me think of those beautiful weeping willow trees and I absolutely adore ittt🫶 Jordan’s hair also looks very nice!
Oh my GOD as soon as you mentioned a song about the battle of New Orleans it triggered a sense memory. My brother was OBSESSED with that song when he was little. We listened to it so much in the car. I can hear the drums that start/end the song so clearly in my head.
When I was in 7th grade we were shown the song “Too Late To Apologize: A Declaration” and I have never forgotten it to this day, it’s such a wild parody. We were also offered an extra credit point on a test if we could remember the first verse, but I got two extra points for remembering the whole song 😭
as an american dating a brit, i want to personally thank you both for ending the revolutionary war so my lover and i can be reunited. (side note she’s soon to experience her first fourth of july)
Your hair looks great, Jarvis. I’m having a hair crisis right now. The person I usually go to has been really busy with kids and hasn’t been able to see me. I went somewhere after work one day and didn’t realize it was messed up until I got home. A couple days later I went somewhere else and that person made it a little worse. So after work today I’m going somewhere I’m positive will fix me up. Moral of the story, always make your hair appointments waaaay in advance.
The fact that ubrelvy was mentioned got me. Every doctor but my neurologist struggles to say it and I've always thought it sounded like a spell or something. That must be how they treat my migraines!
I've seen engagement bait chef before. One of the commentary Bros did a video on him and I remember him biting into a block of cream cheese and saying "It's so bussin" a lot.
Not me getting too into the “medication or DND character” game as a pharmacist, you guys asking what each one is for/does had my ADHD screaming to interrupt and share cause I genuinely get excited about it 😅
Oooh I know!! The reason brand names for prescription meds are so weird is bc of marketing and trademark legislation. You can’t name your new drug “miraclepill” or anything that contains a marketing claim within the name, and you also can’t name it anything that has an anagram that could be considered a marketing claim. Typically the FDA generates a list of potential options for a brand name and then the corporation can either accept one or come back with their own potential name.
yeah i remember the psychs i worked for were semi-scandalized when mydayis came out (XR version of vyvanse basically) bc it skirts that line ("my day is")
i've lived in nj my whole life and i always thought that everywhere had people to pump the gas for you and i went out of state and their gas stations were so... desolate...
just wanted to say thank you to both of you for making the podcast. I'm really fuckin depressed and your show brings me joy, I hope you both are having a good day and living good lives
As someone who was living on my own for the first time when the pandemic hit, IT WAS BAD. my friend’s uni (Uk) was legit barricading students in (I was in private accommodation and thankfully for me my landlord was in a diff country lol). Right before the pandemic we had strikes, so basically everyone at a uni in the Uk missed so much school.
amazon ate wholefoods. i started delivering for amazon last summer and they got wholefoods by the balls. idk if theyre officially bought out but amazon is daddy fr. i hate delivering to them cause theyre lockers always have issues in Chicago
They ruined WF for me when they got rid of all of the good bread. That was my primary reason for going there. I'd end up grabbing cheese and dessert sometimes too. Now I go maybe once a year for flaky salt.
Someone may have commented it but the reason those lightsabers look good on camera is because they are literally designed to be. I cannot remember the name of the indie business for the life of me which makes them at a relatively reasonable price (my friend owns one and its pretty sick), but its not an editing trick and simply some well-engineered design.
The barber thing is actually so scary, I'm sorry that happened! I understand going back though, the things I'll do for a good haircut are crazyyyyyy lmao
I was on my phone and a TikTok came up of Johnny Cash being quite the character. SadBoyz just happens to be on. All of a sudden, mid Johnny Cash Tok, I hear Jarvis say, "Johnny Cash". My brains are blown.
My dude...gas stations in CA are required by law to provide air and water to a customer vehicle for free. The coin box is for show, just ask the attendant.
oh drew gooden talked about that silly food mispronouncer one time in his videos! the "little wooden ball" in particular I remember, and I also picked up calling blueberries "bloobs" exclusively. and nothing else. what a classic i LOVE sirchacha
Dude I was obsessed with that Johnny Horton song when I was little. My great grandma used to make me mix tapes from her record collection and I listened to them all the time haha
12:50 - speaking of, there's a barber near me who constantly plays the Joe Rogan Experience, and they're even named for it (on the level that Joe could sue them for making it look like he endorses them if he was aware of them and wanted to) and I'm just like, I've never wanted to be further from a barber
lamotrigine mention took me back to my teenage years when my doc thought i had bipolar 2 (it worked well for me but i wasnt bipolar i had atypical depression and adhd)
haven't watched one of these in a while and i gotta say, jordan's hair is looking awesome. it's gotten much more grown out since I last saw :) also jarvis' hair too ofc :D
I don’t remember the video but the rage bait chef guy was in a video that drew gooden made a couple years ago and he was doing like best keto snacks and it was just a stick of butter or something
i used to do locs over covid and my favorite thing was to have the tv on and let them choose a movie or if they're truly trustworthy you can let them play a podcast or something. they gotta be a talker i Like to just play music lmao. and some of the guys id have my childs father around and theyd play the game or something so i didnt have go talk at all im cryin
33:51 oregon just recently passed a law to allow self serve gas however it is up to each gas station whether they want to allow it and if they do there are still certain pumps to have an attendant pump your gas.
The fact that it was never automated to begin with and just low paid overseas workers feels so realistic it hurts

The funny part is if they keep trying to replace jobs with ai then how in the hell are we going to buy anything?
LOOOL
55:45 is giving “Where do you think we are?” from Scrubs, but i just can’t take it seriously. The way the guy just blips away 😭
His tiktoks seem very sweet and sincere though :’)
Have you boyz ever considered making an animated show? So many of your goofy bits would work really well animated.
Not me getting too into the “medication or DND character” game as a pharmacist, you guys asking what each one is for/does had my ADHD screaming to interrupt and share cause I genuinely get excited about it 😅
Oooh I know!! The reason brand names for prescription meds are so weird is bc of marketing and trademark legislation. You can’t name your new drug “miraclepill” or anything that contains a marketing claim within the name, and you also can’t name it anything that has an anagram that could be considered a marketing claim. Typically the FDA generates a list of potential options for a brand name and then the corporation can either accept one or come back with their own potential name.
yeah i remember the psychs i worked for were semi-scandalized when mydayis came out (XR version of vyvanse basically) bc it skirts that line ("my day is")
i've lived in nj my whole life and i always thought that everywhere had people to pump the gas for you and i went out of state and their gas stations were so... desolate...
ok the battle of new orleans song I only remember watching a Lego stop motion youtube video of it which was an absolute masterpiece
just wanted to say thank you to both of you for making the podcast. I'm really fuckin depressed and your show brings me joy, I hope you both are having a good day and living good lives
Stayed up just to fall asleep to this
There’s a seinfeld episode about liking the new barber better than your old barber, and it being like having an affair
39:50
"It's illegal to pump your own dragon"
I mean... it should be?
Air and water is free in CA "with gas" but every time i go in and ask they just turn on the machine no questions asked.
As someone who was living on my own for the first time when the pandemic hit, IT WAS BAD. my friend’s uni (Uk) was legit barricading students in (I was in private accommodation and thankfully for me my landlord was in a diff country lol). Right before the pandemic we had strikes, so basically everyone at a uni in the Uk missed so much school.
random but jarvis look really scrumptious in this episode 😻😻😻😻😻
amazon ate wholefoods. i started delivering for amazon last summer and they got wholefoods by the balls. idk if theyre officially bought out but amazon is daddy fr.
i hate delivering to them cause theyre lockers always have issues in Chicago
They ruined WF for me when they got rid of all of the good bread. That was my primary reason for going there. I'd end up grabbing cheese and dessert sometimes too. Now I go maybe once a year for flaky salt.
Jarvis suggesting that each of them defuse like Kami and Piccolo SENT ME 😂😂😂 That's one of the funniest things I ever heard!!!
Dr. Morris was the best teacher I've ever had, blew my mind when you mentioned him lol
Okay why is Jordan so good at beetboxing ?!? 3:28
Beetboxing is awesome
jordan is already so softspoken that when he whispers its near inaudible
I'm so glad I'm not the only person who has found out mid-tattoo that the person doing it was racist. 😅
i found out mid-tattoo that my tattoo artist was transphobic. it was a really intense rib tattoo and i still havent gotten it finished
Someone may have commented it but the reason those lightsabers look good on camera is because they are literally designed to be. I cannot remember the name of the indie business for the life of me which makes them at a relatively reasonable price (my friend owns one and its pretty sick), but its not an editing trick and simply some well-engineered design.
is it padawan outpost?? ive bought my partner one and they have weekly battles with their friends lol
A girl in my first DnD group was a pharmacy tech and all of her character names the names of drugs she saw at work lol
48:52 Sir Chacha is the noblest Chacha slider in all the realm
btw the wooden ball engagement bait chef was in drew's video "youtuber boxing (and other things that make me laugh)" !!
haha i knew i recognized it
i fell asleep watching this and had a dream that Jordan dropped a brick wall on me
The barber thing is actually so scary, I'm sorry that happened! I understand going back though, the things I'll do for a good haircut are crazyyyyyy lmao
I was on my phone and a TikTok came up of Johnny Cash being quite the character. SadBoyz just happens to be on. All of a sudden, mid Johnny Cash Tok, I hear Jarvis say, "Johnny Cash". My brains are blown.
My dude...gas stations in CA are required by law to provide air and water to a customer vehicle for free. The coin box is for show, just ask the attendant.
Oh no...
oh drew gooden talked about that silly food mispronouncer one time in his videos! the "little wooden ball" in particular I remember, and I also picked up calling blueberries "bloobs" exclusively. and nothing else. what a classic i LOVE sirchacha
Let me tell you, moving to Oregon and getting yelled at by a gas station employee for pumping my own gas was definitely an experience
Dude I was obsessed with that Johnny Horton song when I was little. My great grandma used to make me mix tapes from her record collection and I listened to them all the time haha
This was a pleasantly surreal way to learn that two of my favourite TH-camrs are together
12:50 - speaking of, there's a barber near me who constantly plays the Joe Rogan Experience, and they're even named for it (on the level that Joe could sue them for making it look like he endorses them if he was aware of them and wanted to) and I'm just like, I've never wanted to be further from a barber
lamotrigine mention took me back to my teenage years when my doc thought i had bipolar 2 (it worked well for me but i wasnt bipolar i had atypical depression and adhd)
28:32 I was walking and drinking soda, you almost killed me
as a hairstylist, we get it! clients jump around all the time, it's ok! go to the barber you prefer :)
drew covered the wooden ball guy lmao glad to see he’s still making beautiful content!
i wanna watch this episode but i need to shower
Watch in shower. Wet phone make boyz exxxtra sadz
multi task !
Watch in the shower if u have a pop socket put it like on ur shower hanging thing if u have one
I hang a ziplock bag on the like far end of my shower and put my phone in it 😭
do it while u shower it’s hard to hear but it’s a better shower
I worked in a library for years and REGULARLY sung the alphabet song in my head bc that shit gets lost sometimes
“lamotrigine…. return to me
THE FATED BLADE”
lamictal legends rise up 🗣️🗣️
haven't watched one of these in a while and i gotta say, jordan's hair is looking awesome. it's gotten much more grown out since I last saw :) also jarvis' hair too ofc :D
The grown out taper is a strong look. 👌🏽
I learned my french alphabet to the tune of Auld Lang Syne so I have no idea what Jordan is talking about in the alphabet part
Theres a game someone made that’s “is it a medication or a lord of the rings elf” and it is truly one of the hardest things ive ever done
Always nice to wake up to a new Sad Boyz episode
I don’t remember the video but the rage bait chef guy was in a video that drew gooden made a couple years ago and he was doing like best keto snacks and it was just a stick of butter or something
That pic of the ultrasound is so funny😭😭 I wonder why it was on the street lmaoo
1:03:15 the way my jaw dropped and then the feeling of embarrassment and disappointment washed over me
i used to do locs over covid and my favorite thing was to have the tv on and let them choose a movie or if they're truly trustworthy you can let them play a podcast or something. they gotta be a talker i Like to just play music lmao. and some of the guys id have my childs father around and theyd play the game or something so i didnt have go talk at all im cryin
33:51 oregon just recently passed a law to allow self serve gas however it is up to each gas station whether they want to allow it and if they do there are still certain pumps to have an attendant pump your gas.
Jordan should grow out his hair into a Bride of Frankenstein style haircut
When Jordan said 'hey Jacob type "syllables?" Into Google' I died laughing
