It is a mine field. The fact that it can generate almost an exact copy of some things if it’s over trained on an image or if the stars hit just right

On a different not llm is Large Language Model not the image generator

Why I throw my phone browser into desktop mode. Can be annoying but it works most the time

Probably different models for different sets. The set I work with are purely wifi. They have a light on them to blink is the only extra thing they do

IR on them does sound stupid though, in a store environment that can be blocked rather easily

No they are wifi controlled

While posible, don’t forget about the pixel series, Google dipped into hardware. So at least for a good bit they are going to stay the course. Chromebooks are a cousin of android and is something I bet they have support contracts via education for years to come.

Though it’s Google so it’s posible

They were working on it for patches and such. Plus they are probably starting the “next big thing” and having your dev team leave kinda hurts that xp

It kinda understands context.

An image generator makes an image of static similar to like a TV does with bad signal. The Ai looks atthe static and sees shapes in it. The prompt influences what it’s trying to “see”. It starts filling in the static to a full image, it does this in steps, more steps generally means a better quality image.

Also to say a LLM is a Large Language Model and is different from an image generator, though the proccess for them is very similar.

The insurance generally doesn’t kick in unless its 100k plus. It is “planned” for that a certain amount of theft and such will happen,

As for getting sued, meh, merchant rights protect doing reasonable things. Issue comes up when someone “thinks” someone stole and does shit without thinking. Generally All the stores don’t want to have any type of liability with anyone getting hurt so no touching and/or heavy interacting is in policy

Moving to block somebody’s path That I would agree with on being an escalation.

I have seen a lot of times by just there being a few people around giving the we know and we can see you can make someone ditch all the stuff and (some times) cuss out everyone as they leave.

I will admit that I would not advise the technique when it looks like someone is going to be very bold and just walk out with items “clearly” stealing (the cable on it still) and the OP story kinda shows why

Then again anytime I am around a shoplifter doing something like that being very aware of how they are moving or doing is important. Ill do my job but fuck getting hurt for the stuff, nothing in any store is worth it.

Ish on the deter by being there. I can’t speak for all companies but the major one I work for would have you act as just a visible deterance by just standing there. The grabbing the cable and stuff would be what would be “to far”

It probably links to it being illigal at the federal level still so ada would have to be sly about it.

Got to think about those poor business if they have to pay a nickel more for labor they would be broke

Joking aside, minuim wage is a hot issue. One side fully believes that minuim wage is in fact a bad thing and shouldn’t exist. So for them putting a bill out that auto raises it would be counter productive to their interests business being able to hire with supply demand

I would rate it as a concern. Probably not “HUGE” concern but it is impacting thing.

I work loss prevention, so I have a slight bias. But I also see how often and to the volume that it is. There are individuals I have helped with that are linked to 6 digit worth of stuff (and then of course money theft but that’s a different ball game).

Yes if a company has 30,000,000 in sales, theft seems less a problem until it gets multipld out hundreds of times a 1,500,000 of saleable items being stolen can and is something that happens with the current security stuff. And while that is 1/20 the of the sales that 30 mill is before paying for the product, utilities and salary.

Profit is still there but it is getting harder to hold that profit and new ways to loose/new scams pop up all the time

The problem Is real but this solution seems very bs

Add in an extra twist. Hopefully if the sickos are at least happy with AI stuff they won’t need “real”

Sadly, a lot of it does evolve from wanting to “watch” to wanting to do

The issue is more generation is leaned on the less powerful it becomes. To create those stores that you were reading in books it was fed lots of other fantasy and game information, as more of its used the less ‘new’ stuff it can make.

“streamlining” is definitely happening. A lot is to just keep that serotonin going with happy rewards.

1 person I was talking to mentioned it might also be a change because of target. Zelda botw/totk was ment to be played in short burst while on train or a quick shrine or so before bed. Thus the bigger puzzles and things that requires a longer play (to avoid the wtf what is happening when I played yesterday question) are being phased down

Sounds like unity doesn’t want any new devs to go over to them and for the ones who did to start moving away to other engines.

Ask for x per purchase would at least get less backlash but I guess they couldn’t track that as easily

The vapor that is the future of battires. We keep getting better stuff and then some problems happen with production or the science is just wrong after deeper research. IT SUCKS!

Also electricity does have weight

Thing referenced being the Monty hall problem. Old game show would have a prize and 2 goats behind doors. You pick one then, 1 of the goats were revealed. You get the option to swap your choice
