Well as the title has said that KMART, Bunnings, and The Good guys are using FACE RECOGNITION and these 3 outlets are sayings they destroy this evedence weeks late. What a CROCK of SHI.T. this is another way to put a namne to a face on the internet and they will make $$$$$$$$ out of this at you expense.
This Method is noting but a invasive technology to spy on us and they are saying that they use these FACE RECOGNITION to catch the the thief that steal from there shops. Once again, What a CROCK of SHI.T. We are not in China for FUC.K sake.
The Good Guys, Remember me, I'm the one that has spent many Thousands of dollars buying expensive tv's from your shops + the 9 Monitors not long ago. Yes they came from you but after hearing this I WILL NEVER, EVER SET MY FOOT IN ANY "THE GOOD GUY" AGAIN. As for the other's BUNNINGS and KMart, I go back to Mitre 10 instead of bunnings and for Kmart. I, we the Family will shop at Target and BigW again.
KMART!!! Remember Me. I'm the person (Old hunch back old man) that approached you and interrupted you whilst you were having a meeting just inside the main Entrance and I said you (about 8 of them) I said, "What will Kmart sell if WAR breaks out with China? No more selling China Brand KMart/ANKO and If ANKO is taken from your shelves you will have nothing to sell. They looked at each other and said nothing. I bet the lot of them did not think about this.
I stand my my right and about time that others do the same.
COMPLAIN, BOYCOTT these shops and tell them we are not in China where they use FACE RECOGNITION Camera everywhere.
This is a boomer rant if I've ever seen one.
"Everything's chinas fault, something something back in my day we made things ourselves etc. NOW THEY ARE GOING TO PUT ME ON THE INTERNET"
The world is changing, deal with it, it's not going to change back because you don't want to set foot in their stores anymore.
Mate if I can get an ANKO kettle from china for $4 rather than paying $40 for one made here I'll do that any day of the damn week. China is the manufacturing superpower of the world, it's done, it's not going back. A couple of oldies boycotting retail stores is going to change nothing other than making you look silly.
I love how paranoid your generation is of the chinese, you think every single person from China is out to get you.
Also guess which country Target/BigW's stock comes from.....Let me give you a hint, Ni Hao. They'll follow suit with the CCTV sooner or later. China isn't the one forcing these stores to use CCTV with facial recognition, gronk bogan aussie's shoplifting are.
Facial regocnition technology and AI is becoming more and more standardised technology everywhere, it's got nothing to do with china spying on us etc, they don't even see the footage this is the stores wanting to help catch shop lifters.
You know we already have AI recognition on those cameras mounted on freeways to catch people using their phones etc. the system can detect faces and phone use etc already......oh no the boogyman!.
I've worked in the tech sector for 20 years I helped develop self serve checkouts and point of sale systems that your generation is so scared of, Just because you don't understand how something works doesn't make it wrong.
