What the fuck, they found nothing and banned her anyway?

[-] D61@hexbear.net 5 points 5 months ago

I think the idea is that, at some point in the past, the machine god decided that the misidentified customer has stolen something.

Clearly they haven't been praying to the emperor. What they need is a tech priest to commune with the machine spirits and correct this error.

How are you supposed to know what stores use it? That’s crazy literally everyone steals capitalism can’t survive that. What fucking idiots lmfao

Imagine what it's going to be like in a few years when there's a duopoly of theft prevention AI companies and every insurer mandates that shops use that technology. People are going to get instabanned from 50% of the shops in the entire country.

It's going to be particularly bad for people who live in regional areas where there's only one big box store for miles around.

honestly if it gets that bad i fully expect theft to go up and become more violent against people who try to enforce those rules

Yet-another example of me being like "Well, I ain't no accelerationist but if they're the ones who hold all the cards and they opt for acceleration then what am I gonna do about it? 🤷"

I was told years ago by some so called 'security tech expert' this is why he only uses old photos of himself or ones done on a potato phone, if any at all, on big social media sites. He claimed most companies that did this sort of thing are cheap and scrape FB, google images, Insta and the likes before going on to data provided by stores or states, if they use those at all.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Luckily I'm white which reduces the chance of this happening.
