Starbucks Abandons Borked AI Inventory Tool That Couldn't Count (gizmodo.com)

This seems like a solved problem for those who care to solve it. Weigh product on intake, weigh on outflow or some other constant displacement pump solution. I've seen How It's Made and those factories have it down to a science without a guessbot at the wheel.

so first claude f'd up pizza hut. Now it has f'd up starbucks. So much winning going on in this AI space lately.

Maybe they can continue to pay people instead of robots.

Wonder if this is why my Starbucks has been chronically out of stock on all their food items and popular drinks for several months.
