Luna can examine still images taken from a security camera installed in the store, which the AI system can use to monitor employees. According to Petersson, Luna recently observed one of the employees using their phone during a particularly quiet hour, so the system updated the market's employee handbook to set stricter rules on workers’ phone usage.

“We saw that, and thought, wow, it feels dystopian,” Petersson said.

See the ai company is gonna market this as the ai “improving worker efficiency” and these corporations are gonna eat it up and we’ll all suffer

So modeled off real managers. The AI gets the blame for all the problems, but all of them were trained based on human activity. Says something.

LOL This is the future these techbros want to sell people on. Good luck, buttercups! I don't see myself buying into this garbage anytime soon or honestly, at all!

AI doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be more profitable than with human labor.

“Ultimately, I don’t want to do PR for this research lab, the AI company running it or the VCs funding this experiment,” the artist said, noting that they purposely avoid using AI and continue to oppose it for environmental reasons. “These people have the money and time to make San Francisco a better place, instead they are putting us through their AI experiments that ultimately serve only themselves.”

“This is not the technological progress I was promised,” Lebedev added. “I want technology that helps humans flourish, not technology that bosses them around in this dystopian economic hellscape.”

Imagine if employers had a tenth of the patience, training time, money to improve physical breaks and limitations, and understanding for actual humans...

Plus ça change.
