Accelerating AI is going to require some overhead that walmart most likely is not anticipating. It seems like many companies weren't anticipating it, which you see when a company adopts AI, use it as an excuse to let people go, then re-hire them when it's clear AI needs human guidance. Walmart has done a lot in meatspace to pare logistics down to the minumum, but clearly under management that was more progressive than those in charge now who seem to be coasting on past achievements, enshittifying aspects of the business where they want to see more profits. I can only imagine this is going to be messy.
