🚩🚩🚩 Penny is launching an 'autonomous' supermarket in Otopeni, Sector 6 of Bucharest, that uses 'AI' cameras to record what products you pick up or put down from the shelves, and automatically adds them to your 'cart', but you still have to pay at the self-checkout stations.
I'm wondering, will it use the same 'AI' used by Amazon - 'Actually, Indians' to see what products you take out or put on the shelf? They also claim the cameras won't record your face, but that's dubious and raises many red flags.
Why not use pressure plates, as was the concept with the 'Just Walk Out' crap from Amazon?
Why not...simply stop fucking integrating AI into everything, because there will likely be no security or safety mechanisms in place to actually not record your face, and potentially share the data with advertisers?

Why do we have to re-invent everything, all the time?
