The group here is similar to the pregnant women that Target searched for and found before the women knew they were pregnant. That was the teaser in the review of a book. How the mathematician used the data to pinpoint them was never revealed. I have a clue given the reactions here... I doubt they planned it out as Target did when they identified a group, pregnant women, and then sought to exploit them.
What the hell. I'm placing this vid here.

Your collective inability to acknowledge this obvious truth makes you all look like fools.

Walmart has a database of problem children. It's not pictures posted on a bulletin board in the back room.

If you just read the caption to the first pic it says: "Retail chain Walmart says it uses AI face detection in cameras at over 1,000 store locations."

Funny, the rest of the piece talks about AI in general - how to detect something which was not scanned and this reducing 'shrinkage' but does not mention face recognition being used. And then at the bottom it says "Update: Since publication of this article, Walmart has confirmed to Observer via email that its technology does not use facial recognition."

I'm willing to believe most of the negative stuff about Walmart. But it appears that Darren's conclusion is erroneous. Possibly not the first time.

Well... DUH! It's Darren, for Christ's sake.

Most of what he and "Doc" post rarely present anything resembling the facts.

I fear he, and his alter-ego, are going to get much worse once the Democrats take over in January.
