Amazon's AI-powered "Just Walk Out"checkout option turns out to be 1000 workers watching you shop

I don’t know if it’s an economically feasible, but at Amazon scale, they may have a network engineer handling 10 stores, and more support/technical staff in India or another country with lower wages. Startup costs would of course be much higher than a conventional store, but if they’re paying minimum wages going forward, they may think it’s lucrative. As AI advances, they’ll start firing people.
