Not really. Surveillance capitalism is pretty-much always ugly and awful. What surprises me is that the restaurant didn't have a loyalty scheme, or a front-of-house incentivised to recognise repeat customers. These systems are cheaper, more flexible, have fewer gross externalities than facial recognition and inherently promote human interaction.
- scatters 7y agoIf you have a system to recognise repeat customers, what difference does it make whether that system is implemented in silicon or carbon?
