“¡Bienvenido al Ammo Bandito!”
The Alabama Ammo Bandito?!
We passed by his store that is apparently still in existence on a trip to Indianapolis recently, so I got to tell my daughter about the commercials that Don used to make for Don’s Guns back in the 80s and 90s and how they were pretty much universally mocked for being so creepy with the bizarre tagline and laugh.

And then today I read this and I feel like Don was on the sane end of things.
Wow, that was a creepy laugh. 😳
Republicans against Government Gun Owner Lists are Lining up at the Opportunity to give these Private Corporations their Personal Identification Information!
Lol you people do realize you can buy ammo online right? A vending machine is just a poor try to remove someone checking out your purchase in a store.
The ignorance around here for anything guns is hilarious.
The prices are probably terrible too.
I will just use the money I looted from bodies of the dead. Related question: will 30 candy bars still fix machine gun injuries?
%100 probably double the cost of online.
Why the fuck do we have to put AI into everything? This is stupid as hell and probably a massive rip-off.
LMAO…
Sooo… it scans your ID to verify you’re of age, scans your face to verify you match the ID, then scans your credit card to verify payment.
Not seeing where “AI” enters into it.
I guess the only thing that elevates this over an online purchase is making sure some kid isn’t using a stolen credit card.
What still makes no sense to me is the whole “18 for rifle ammo, 21 for pistol ammo”. It ignores rifles that use pistol ammo:

The 18/21 restriction is on what kind of GUN you can buy at that age, the ammo shouldn’t enter into it.
Gun dealer: “Sorry, kid, can’t sell you that box of .40 because you could put in a Glock, here’s a box of .223 instead.”
Matching the face to the ID could use AI
It could, but there are far cheaper and easier technologies that have been doing the same thing for years.
How long before sometime throws a Molotov cocktail under one of these?

Uhm, acktshually, they’re ‘rounds’, which refers to a whole round of ammunition in contrast to a bullet, which is only a component 🤓🤓🤓
We live in the worst timeline.
akshually, round is colloquial, it is a cartridge. But bullet is colloquially used to mean cartridge in some contexts, so…
Aktshually I was being sarcastic and AI powered ammunition dispensers are not cool.
We live the the worst timeline
You are not helping…
For how much though? If the bullet vending machines are cheap that’s aight…
How does it need to be AI? It’s a vending machine. Are you suppose to describe what you plan to shoot and it suggest a specific ammo? Oh it’s looks like you plan to highjack a plane, I recommend Hollow point .22 short to insure it will stay in the body and not breaching the pressurized hull.
It’s OK & AL, we all know the AI is just to determine weather or not they’re white enough to vend to.
For reasons, there are laws against selling “handgun ammunition” to people under 21. 18-21 year olds can buy rifle ammunition.
So the vending machine takes ID and scans the person to see if they match the photo.
Oh, man. Vendors of OCR software can make big money now by rebranding as “AI-powered”.
Still does not require AI. Any program can scan an ID.
I believe it is the part where it scans the person’s face to see if it matches the ID that is being called AI. I don’t know if that meets the technical definition or not, but that’s what they marketing is calling AI here.
LPT: Actual AI still does not exist, when you see something described as AI, it’s bullshit. The closest thing we have to AI is machine learning, but that’s more glorified text prediction than it is actual general artificial intelligence. A lot of things advertised as being “AI” aren’t even really that.
It needs to be AI so it can refuse to sell you ammo if your skin is too dark.
Sounds like a fucking videogame.
As other people have already pointed out, ammo bandito!
Everyone here complaining about it, do y’all really want to go back to the days of having to smash up random crates in secret rooms to find the matching ammo of the 6 different types of guns you are holding?
Idk, searching and finding ammo is everyone’s favorite part of a shooter game, right?
I like healing my wounds from machine gun fire by eating 20 candybars. I am pretty sure it works that way in real life as well.
CP77, the vending machiens that sell disposable pistols (that suck. heh.)
you’d think that’d be a recipe for, you know, getting a bunch of armed robbers hitting you store, but nooo. totally only going to be frequented by <checks notes> good guys with a gun.
(if you’re going to rob the store, rob the machine first, yeah?)
Is your premise that robbers will show up to a store with guns but no ammo, rip off the vending machine for ammo, and then rob the store?
No my premise is the next is vending machines with firearms. Because dystopian hellholes are like that.
