Emphasis mine.

Who is Marty the Robot and Why Do We Need Retail Service Robots?

What Can Marty the Robot Do?

When Marty notices spills or other trip hazards, he can alert customers verbally by saying “Caution. Hazard detected.” He can then contact employees through the store’s public announcement system. Marty the Robot can also scan shelves to check products and detect incorrect pricing or missing labels.

Shoppers don’t need to worry that personal information about them is being collected. Any images or videos Marty captures is stored for a short period of time and is then destroyed. His focus is on identifying spills and price mismatches, not monitoring security.

Any time a company says that, it rings more alarm bells than just saying nothing about the data at all these days.

They thought about naming it Narcy but that would have been too on the nose.

How long until the pics and videos from it are used by copaganda tv or government brags.

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm serious when I say I wonder if it's already happened. The piggies just need to say "We need the footage" to investigate something. And the company will give it up without a fight. That always happens.

I've been thinking about the need for a decent way to pull off verifiably black box ML. No writable storage. It's not actually possible in most situations, but it'd be neat as shit.

What I liked was the weird tangent it went on about the...

Mandela Effect

That was a surprise and I really liked it.

Yup, that's John Wilson, a very silly, strange and beautiful show all around. That's how all the episodes are, you never know where its actually going to go.

It's like if Man with a Movie Camera was also about interviewing random people.
