Amazon's "AI". The Truth.
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 มิ.ย. 2024
- Recently, Amazon’s “Just Walk Out” technology has come under fire. It seems that Amazon’s AI is much more human than AI as they had over 1,000 workers in India manually verify the vast majority of “Just Walk Out” checkouts. This has really brought into question the viability of modern AI in general. Is it more hype than reality? Well, there are of course some use cases that have advanced extremely quickly like combing through trillions of possibilities and running infinite models and simulations. But, the more sci-fi AI applications such as self-driving technology and chatbots still have a long way to go when it comes to addressing edge cases and maximizing accuracy. This video explores the current situation of AI and attempts to answer how much of it is just hype.

Amazon AI uses Indian workers? This is revolutionary. Maybe Tesla should use Indian workers for full self driving too.
😆 controlling it with an Xbox 360 steering wheel or something. That's hilarious
AI: Automated Indians
You won the internet today 😂😂😂
There is not much diffrence, the 2 things tech is doing now is either use AI or replace high quality native workers with extremely low quality indian workers that are barely able to deliver a minimum viable product for cheap.
Indians are also totally subservient to the billionair class.
Uber should be using Indians for full 'self driving'.
AI - Assistant Indians

"Actually indians" I feel fits better but this statement is in general more true than most would ever assume. They have so many young people. An actual human labor gold rush
Artificial Indians 💀
Artificial Indians at work.
Just take a closer look at these supposed "AI" companies. Google didn't actually automate personalized advertising or TH-cam moderation. They outsourced it to Telus, who are hiring thousands of low wage "Personalized Internet Ad Assessors / Raters".
So, I worked at Amazon JWO as a software engineer. I can tell you this: in my opinion, the reason that JWO failed is because of poor leadership and culture within JWO teams.
We very much had a top-down leadership culture that told us what to work on very granularly and there definitely wasn't much value placed on innovative ideas from the rank and file engineers. Basically we were treated as coders not as thinkers.
We also weren't given much room to work collaboratively on projects: instead of having 2 or three people work on a given project where we could bounce ideas off each other and learn from one another: each engineer was siloed to his/her own work.
Research also didn't collaborate much with engineering. At least not while I was there.
Ultimately I actually think the tech was solid. But the MBA bobbleheads that made all the decisions screwed the pooch.
If Amazon let the engineers do actual engineering: we would have been far more successful. But instead they stifiled innovation and eshewed new ideas and collaboration.
I know that having to validate 70% of orders is a lot, but they were able to stay in business this long with that model and slapdash tech, so it seems like there was a real possibility they could have made it work *just well enough* to be viable.
I still don't understand why not take a multimodal approach: RFID + smart baskets + AI tracking + remote surveillance. Some people just want to run in and grab a sandwich, so they don't need a basket, and both AI tracking and RFID have limitations.
The grail seems like an approach where you fuse this data into a high-level overview that can be monitored by a small back-up team. It would still feel just as futuristic and eliminate a lot of pain points. Carts are the simple and obvious solution, so it makes the most sense, but it also feels a bit stupid to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
At some point a business needs to double-down and say "You know what, we screwed this up and we're going to do it right." Amazon's response to getting found out for misrepresenting their solution makes it sound like they're saying "We just can't engineer the AI systems of the future that customers demand." This is the software crisis of the 1970s all over again, when companies like GE and big airlines kept failing to deliver big, complex projects over and over again.
Those failures led to developments like formalized data abstraction and object-oriented programming, so hopefully recent failures in AI (and elsewhere) will yield something similarly valuable downstream
I’ve worked with Amazon on 3 different teams and experienced basically all of this on 2 of them. It’s unfortunate but I think this is just the reality of big companies like Amazon. Although surprisingly, some people really like being told what to do and not think/develop their own ideas; even if what they’re told is stupid. So I guess it really depends on the person
As per the usual. MBAs have no idea how to develop technology and yet are still placed above the engineers because they're better at making their boss feel good.
Probably also partially a way to protect "trade secrets" each engineer understands only a slice of the pie instead of the whole pie, so he can't give it to a competitor. But the problem is its hard to improve your own slice without understanding the rest of the pie.
Thats totally expected, from a company that's 80% bankers and 20% actual engineers & others 😂
"We very much had a top-down leadership culture that told us what to work on very granularly and there definitely wasn't much value placed on innovative ideas from the rank and file engineers."
Funny enough, I'm having the same problem in fiber-optic design. Innovative ideas tend to get shut down because textbook solutions have much greater industry and market support, i.e. textbook solutions are easier for marketing and sales.
The money is in selling the shovels, not the gold. Perfect way to wrap it up.
I'm glad I have Nvidia stock.
We should rename India to IndAI.
Ai = always Indians
Does adding AI to India make you orgasmic or what ???
Out tech companies like TCS has destroyed Indian tech to body shopping!
The question is what happens when indian workforce is not cheap anymore? They start using monkeys?
Sometimes banker operated companies are doing the dumbest things just to save a penny 😂😂
When Amazon released this I was certain this would be RFID based and not AI/ Machine vision based. Why not just tag every Item and scan as they leave or at least as they add to their cart. Overpromise/ Under Deliver is the norm in Silicon Valley and the media just repeats the lies.
Well they were not wrong we just misunderstood them, AI stands for All Indians
just open GTP-4o's camera, point at a customer, and ask: what is that guy buying?
"I'm sorry, but I can't tell you where to buy plutonium."
"He is buying back his daughter from the kidnapper in a public place, So wholesome."
"I've invented an AI toilet cleaner!" - investors rush to door ... 😅
Money is not meant to control people rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place.
People don't understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments don't match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365,000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Having an investment advisor is the best way to go about the stock market right now. I was going solo, but it wasn't working. I've been in touch with an advisor for a while now, and just last year, I made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
Jeff demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit
I think most people have a videogame approach to technology: "I do this and in X turns I get this"
The truth is that we dont know what we don't know. Not how technological development worls. We might get breakthroughs in one area and stall in another, but its basically impossible to predict.
Cash in? They haven’t made a profit.
They sure have
@@kevinwoods9274they made money but not profit
Profits are what fools show the IRS. Smorts call it development funds
@@Cyril29a Ya it's actually not smart to try and tell the IRS that they can't have any money because you have decided to label your profits "Development Funds"
The biggest potential application of Ai will be in the field of robotics, as computer vision and other such technologies continue to advance. It would also be interesting to see whether quantum computers with their endless scenarios and qubits could make Ai much better. It'd be cool to see a video on the robotics scene currently and what advancements are being made there, alongside quantum computers and their future. Great video, nothing to debate here. Ai is currently a big buzzword that everyone's trying to tack themselves onto. If you want a fun drinking game, listed to a major tech or chipmaking company's earnings call, and drink every time Ai is mentioned.
Skynet entered the chat. 😂
As a mechatronics major, i can second this. AI is capable of some really impressive robotics control systems. Although programming it is highly inefficient. Im talking 6 months and thousands upon thousand of simulations in a 40000€ computer in order to just control an arm with 4 joints. Once its programmed, its great. Controls every joint in a really efficient, natural way to achieve the desired outcome. But the energy my university sunk into the programming process for that one arm was ridiculous.
Why not just NFC tags on all the items??
Too expensive to scale for items on the smaller margins would be my guess (Think nfc tags on .50 n $1 bottles n what not)
The customer would have to hold every item separately close to the nfc scanner. It would just be a self-checkout with more expensive barcodes.
the title is a bit misleading since this video is more about AI than Amazon, but it is one of the better videos on AI I've seen. great video as usual
My opinion is that technology is more than capable of creating a no worker store but it would create social panic.
Already being done in Japan
Seems every time I open TH-cam you have a new video out.
I appreciate your channel, you’re doing a great job.
Thank you so much man!
The guy who lost 196 billion dollars is layoff-ing workers while he remains on the job? Wtf is that?
Wait to see the consequences when people will realize that AI is not the big deal they thought to be, like the metaverse 😂
I do think it's a big deal but there is so much dishonesty. These companies have been acting poorly for awhile and being very invasive. But now we're just supposed to forget all that when they say they're working on AI for the benefit of humanity and getting alignment right. Look at the policy of these companies over the past few decades and ask yourself what their interpretation of alignment means.
@@LotsOfBologna2 please come back here to share again when you’ll see the reality and be desapointed
@@jasminrausier Guess this depends on what your definition of a big deal is. There's unrealistic expectations. So... is there too much flowery unrealistic hype? Yes. Is the technology a big deal? Also yes.
AI - Atrociously Inaccurate
Lmao
The Internet is full of idiots, then they train their AI by scraping the Internet. Of course AI acts like an idiot.
Now the Internet is full of AI spam, so it just keeps making itself stupider.
Actually Indians
Really enjoying your channel. Thanks. Subscribed long ago and sharing it around. Great video. Cheers
🙏
Hey, I've been watching your channel since a year now and you make really awesome crisp videos.
What about a video on the Blockchain, Cryptography & Web3 technology? We definitely wanna hear something on that too...
I have 400k in Nvidia stocks….so just buy more GPUs for AI
Just a tip, move out of it, watch gold, also watch OpenAI departures, without them it's not that AI is doomed, but its bubble will be.
Hang onto it till it reaches at least $1100. That's what I'm gunna do.
Thank you for your research. I find your videos are well done. RIght now I'm keeping an eye on Eledator
Hey, bro l really like your content! But i have a request please make a video on Patrick Collison!
Thanks for the suggestion man!
@@LogicallyAnswered really appreciate your response love you work! Keep making such content!
Just to throw it out there NVidia makes the GPU and network stack for the DGX H100 and will also be making the CPU's for grace-hopper as well. Jensen said a while ago they want to be a one stop shop for datacenters and they bought Mellanox and tried to buy ARM to keep it all in house. They do more than GPUs, this is a common misconception I hear a lot and it's not just the hardware, NVidia is still a ways ahead of any other vendor option for both hardware and software at the moment.
I think running LLM's with IoT's nativley will become popular. I guess if you run IoT's locally it's no longer an IoT.
Great upload, Thank you.
Wasn't that what happened during the gold rush?? I.e. the ones making real money where those selling tools for miners ... even jeans I think 🤔 but I have to double check this part
Nah, you're right. General stores and such were the real money makers.
Most A.I nowadays is just the name A.I. It's just the same algorithms running things behind scenes. The UI fools everyone. Just my opinion.
You definitely have my sub. This content is next level. For me Eledator was the turning point. Please keep doing what you do and keep being you, love it.
I'm just curious, how much a channel like you makes per month? I think you deserve all of it, but how much? I'm curious about the numbers
Sure, my only source of revenue is Adsense on this channel. Usually $12-15k/mo.
The range is too broad 🤣🤣🤣
Or you mean between 12k-15k?
I remember one expert saying about „imtelligence“ of chatgpt: The intelligence is in the I of chatgpt …
To be honest I can't see a way that I would use this. "Bard" is a hideous name.
It’s Gemini now
@@gjd424 That's a much better name.
The actual scientific progress and the truly cutting edge stuff all happens in universities. Companies then take these progresses and create the engineering solution.
Deep Blue has been relying on algorithms, it’s not an AI model. Some AI models can fold proteins, can solve math problems, like faster way to calculate matrices. Neural networks are able to predict weather patterns much better and cheaper than most complex weather simulation systems. Neural networks are used in computer vision, medical applications, data analysis, classification, and many more real world applications. ChatGPT somewhat ruined the word AI, because not every neural network is used to spit out lengthy sentences, but it’s just the one which gets all of the headlines.
Come on. Amazon's Mechanical Turk shouldn't be compared to FSD.
Hari,
If AI is taking over most jobs then plz suggest a roadmap for a fresher to get a job.
I am an electronics and communication engineering graduate from bangalore.
Unfortunately my engineering has not been of any use other than testing my memorization skill.
Job market in India is too competitive.
Study for a Gov. Job like RRB or learn SAP or Azure...
I don’t think engineering jobs will disappear - they’ll simply evolve :)
Do you think Revux will pump before XRP?
Great video as always
Thank you as always Balpreet!
More sweatshop than technology this is typical Amazon
please upload more video 2x a day.. thanks harry
Thanks for sharing these truths. I'm still waiting for true cost of AI though, from electric usage and cost to whole system which runs the AI.
Pls make a video on recriut holdings. They are a piineer in hr tech the also own indeed and glassdoor.they are a hidden giant
Thanks for the suggestion Rajit!
I'm impressed that they actually didn't stay using indians. It was profitable and people liked the stores. Of course, it is questionable, but no one would talk about it after a week. They probably talked about ai only to investors. BUt if they market as a part ai (not most) they wouldn't have this probablem. Someone in the marketing team got fired for sure.
ai is OP right now because there are no laws regulating it.
We're already beyond the steep part of the AI development S-curve. Gains are rapidly decreasing. Biggest gains are already behind us.
We needed something better than the Turing Test to assess (alleged) AI a long time ago. The ELIZA effect, from way back in the late 60s (before I was even born), demonstrated that people will very willingly _project_ human characteristics onto non-human things (as far as I'm concerned, it broke the notion of the validity of the Turing Test way back then, merely a couple of decades after Turing formulated it).
ELIZA was not even close to an _expert system_, let alone anything that could be labelled legitimately "intelligent". It was just cleverly designed dialogue responses to induce exactly that anthropomorphic projection.
I created a todo list. Added AI to it, got $5 mil in funding to expand
I would expect the biggest use of AI to come in the form of helper robots, training robots manually is so slow that it hasn't much happened. Can a robot fill a shopping bag? - this is an area that AI will likely be able to pass the technological hurdle quickly.
My top picks for bull run are DOT, FIL, and SOL. And best ICO to invest is Revux, huge potential.
Chatbots are like dogs, in that they are well trained to fetch "something". If it is a duck, we have a dog for that. if it is a loyal friend that doesn't quite understand what we are saying but listens attentively, we have a dog for that. But dog receptionist? dog boss? dog HR representative? DOG WEDDING PLANNER? First they came for the fast-food workers but I did not speak up because I was not a fast-food worker. We will all be eating dog food if we are not careful.
That Microsoft deal is shocking.
I never liked using it either because I already feel I get so little human contact
Correction; Theres a reason apple coudnt crack A.I even due to thier massive budget. It was cause of tim cook. Ai bots need lots of data and tim cook is very privacy focused in this case. So well..........messive brainpower but no data for them to work with. They basically needed to see the responses of the apple users with siri to train it. So most ai scientist left apple
In the 80's we were afraid of robots taking all factory worker jobs. Today there are tens of millions of factory workers worldwide making products that are just too low end to be affordable to automate. AI is extremely expensive but at the moment it's being subsidized by investors. When the true cost of AI has to be included in the cost of goods and services, goodbye AI. AI will be in high end applications where it makes economic sense, not grocery stores and not in many use cases where it is being demoed.
This is the best channel on YT easily 🙌
You know what tech I find helpful? Not going to a store, but ordering it online and having it delivered. Amazon shopping stores saved so little time.
NPC spotted
Clearing out all my Alts going into BTC and Revux only, maybe a little BNB and SOL
This video single handedly explain “ai” for what it really is. At this time anyways
Bam !!!!! Ya nailed it again - Nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As a side related note - I was the 1st idiot to solve Rubik's Cube using a Genetic Algorithm... Man was that a waste of my time......
A genetic algorithm?
@@LogicallyAnswered Its an Optimization Algorithm that uses the mechanics of nature to evolve better solutions until the desired results is obtained.
Actually AI is amazing in terms of object detection. The CNN models actually do the job so well. The problem is that it needs more evolution . And to replace humans it need a little more time .
Open AI's new gpt-4 is a example of how advanced AI has become .
I believe my phone is equipped with "squirrelli".
Have you tried syncing your audion to your face with AI?
AI needs to start out slow. It's moving too fast. Or, at least the people pushing its merits are. Something like "Her" would be kind of interesting. I think it would be a great companion for the elderly. Elderly people tend to lose their vocabulary the less they interact with others, which can be common. This would be an ideal companion for them. It's amazing how well AI can hold a conversation. My jaw dropped when I saw this on another channel recently.
I believe Revux token will go 100x after launch on Binance
AI is not Machine Learning. Most of the stuff "AI" gets credit for being good at, is all just machine learning data analysis stuff.
machine learning is a type of ai. lmfao
The AI missteps we find now ensures the next missteps are harder to find. So there will come a point that AI is good enough that we would think things are truthful or reality. Worse thing is I ain’t even talking about Sentient AI yet.
What’s even worse, geopolitics ensures that even if one side is “moral” they are FORCED to dive in co’z the other side is immoral or perceived to such.
Great
AI steals from artist and everything else
These companies are feeling about in the dark. Once AI starts to shape into an actual product it will get more focussed... Remember we don't even have a definition of AGI yet... there's also the point that people don't know what they want till they get it. I don't want a flying car from the 50s even though thats still being chased to this day, I like my smartphone which is the tech that actually took off and is actually more useful to me.
I really like your perspective. But it is not selling dream because it works.
200 year lifespan with the aid of AI? That doesn't sound desirable, in fact that sounds like a punishment.
lol I wanted to comment it’s the guy who sells the shovels, not the gold digger, for half of the video 😂
Dude, you need to get Revux NOW!
Its the INTERNET OF THINGS all over again 😐
Amazon just gave ai a face, kumar of tech support India….
I can't wait for us to hit the trough of disillusionment for AI. Now ML? That's hype.
Based on the title this video should’ve been exactly 2 mins long.
Stores that are just vending machines is far safer for the consumer and the business owner as theives are not attracted to it as much. Whats stopping someone from raiding those employeeless stores?
Using fallible systems to train novel systems. 🤔
Google new ai is way better than open ai. But I’m waiting for new update for paid users.
A revolutionary AI called TI (True Eye)
Neuro sama, best non human entertainer
We're revolutionizing AI using AI
Yes
Damn, maybe I should start a startup on this idea.
It's not hard, they should have partnered with sense from china who created the ccp's security camera system.
Finally, the AI that is not replacing humans! 😂
like this guy was saying AI is a huge deal it 10x research and development if you can't understand that then well I don't know what to tell you. the short of it is we are at the job apocalypse because of it. he is right. right now the money is in the people making and improving the AI but in the near future it will more than likely be in self-driving then later on down the line humanoid robots that are learning new jobs one after the other and replacing human workers one after the other. all of that is happening today but at a slow rate because people who own the company's don't know what there going to do with the new tools coming out every year with AI as soon as they think they have a good system a new AI function comes out and all of a sudden they don't need 5% of their staff or 10% of there staff this is happening in office style jobs year over year right now until its just one guy in the office with technicians on standby, by the time there done with that in 5 years time there is a good chance that we will start to see the automation of all manual labor type jobs the reason this Revolution is different than the last revolutions is the reason we can come up with new jobs to do is are critical thinking skills and AI is slowly getting better than us on that front so what this means as soon as a new job comes out then AI will be training on it from day one with humans doing gig work until it can be automated in 5 years that is more than likely how it will go in 26 years. I think by the time Millennials retire borderline pointless there will be so few jobs to go around that a full time day will go down to 32 hours or less mean working a 6 hours a day 5 days a week will be the normal for a job and to top it all off a UBI that can more or less pay for a bare minimum quality of life witch will be apartment with water, electricity, internet, most entertainment being free, and food and water being free, but things like owning your own car and house will be reserved for people who consistently work same for some things like eating at a fast food restaurant on a regular basis it will be like being a second class citizen without a job most people will be making there own hustle to make money on the side with fake jobs or being there own boss it will be a funny world where everyone could stop working but no one will because its just not as comfortable as working a little at the very least or we could have a dystopian future where we have the tech but don't use it because we want to hold on to work like its life itself. the short of it is saving for retirement will likely be a waste of time if your 35 or younger.
Google ai so bad can't search google,
Chat gpt 4o be like, I'm going to litteraly Google and tell you key points of the first 10 results in 5 seconds. Lol
I forgot Amazon had Ai
AI = Amazon Indians , in this case
Tesla has 1000s of indian workers driving its cars....
Revux keeps popping up in my crypto circles. Seems like a rising star!
So is AI just a self-pleasuring thing for big companies? They burn money on the AI, but they have bag-holders that keep their AI infrastructure profitable?
💥 Apparently, the presenter of this video know nothing about the recent google Gemini Pro demos, nor Chatgpt 4o. He talks about things one year ago. 😅😅😅
I don't get it. If Bard and Gemini are so unreliable, how are they impressive technologies? I sure as hell am NOT impressed.
Techbros will make their social anxiety everyone else's problem. And are failing at it.
They didn't lie AI (An Indian)
Short Answer: Yes, it is still way more hype than reality.
the bubble will burst soon...kabooooooom!
