B-B-But I thought AI would just give us goofy art, funny Dagoth-Ur monologues and my own submissive internet waifu. I thought it would usher a new era of enlightenment and prosperity. Did the tech-bros lie to me?

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

We will tear all of it down
what's the shop? is this a current real world application or some press release? not that it doesn't seem plausible with current tech, but i'd like some more details.
It is a mockup the people have too similar drink amounts.
Things like Dave there? Hard agree
Frigate on Home Assistant has something like this. It can track how long a "thing" has been sitting there. I use it to track how long my car has been sitting in the driveway. Frigate also can do person tracking and animal tracking. I'm sure I can make it so it tracks how long a person has been sitting in the frame.
As far as the barista and how many drinks they have made. This is a very difficult task. Technically speaking they can have the espresso machine trigger an action when a cup is made. Even then it's damn near impossible to accurately track that trigger to the correct person in frame.
Essentially this proof of concept is possible but it is highly inaccurate and should be treated as a novelty and not scientific data, at least with the current technologies we have.
TLDR: this shit isn't possible yet.
too bad a bunch of people are probably gonna get fired from their sole source of income while they work on their degree because their boss saw a number next to them on a camera and decided "that's not enough cups"

Force employees to wear RFID bands, solved. For a company I worked for the employees would have to stand on a mat to do a specific type of work, we did apply RFID tags to the soles and glued a bit rubber above, this did track who was standing there with the help of a receiver in the mat. With that method and combined with measuring when sandblasters were active and when people would hit the buttons for process steps this enabled an absurd amount of surveillance and quantification data for cheap. Luckily we were only allowed to use the data for research and had to anonymize it and made the workers council be aware of how it could be used to track employee work, who promptly did forbid it.
Hot take: I hate Taylorism
