Absolutely fucking not

We're so f-ked.

I have so many questions. How does it differentiate customers? Like say I'm standing in line just off to the side behind someone buying a few big ticket items, when the face scan happens how will it know which face to charge? Same question for a couple people checking out together. Will I have to take my hat and sunglasses off to check out or does it use other technologies to build face maps like lidar? What if I got a broken nose or fractured orbital, can I just not buy things? What about beards, if a guy scans his face initially with a beard and shaves it, how will the system respond? Is there an upper limit on purchases made this way like there is with tap to pay? What will it do about age verified products like tobacco or alcohol?

I would bet money they didn't test for any of that and if they did it would be within very narrow parameters.

Does it work with black people? Theres a bit of a history with facial recognition training and varying features.

Isn't Revolut that had a data breach like 10 days ago, leaking costumer data like IBANs etc??

"I saw my buddy in the mall and I hollered out 'Hey Doug!'. He looked over and paid for my lunch!". /s

A couple of weeks ago I posted in c/privacy about this shit in my home country. This shit should be illegal.

I bet the false positives are through the roof.

Great, now my twin can go shopping for me.

My apartment building has a facial recognition system to unlock the door to the building. My cousin got recognized as his brother that was in the system and the door just opened for them.

What a wonderful idea to use the same tech to deal with money.

Cue Zooey Deschanel/Kate Perry/Emily Blunt meme

Not in a thousand fucking years

Are we gonna have to be Juggalos now?

Oh you smiled twice! Double charged.

I'm good with using cash.

It's much easier to make you smile than to force you to give up your credit card pin number when being robbed!

Holy shit. This is real.

In another world without the technological horrors, this would be cool.

how does this lower the cost? yeah it doesn't fuk off. more stealing from consumers without them knowing.

Gross

How is their slogan not “you should Smile more”

Fast forward 5 months: massive data breach for everyone that used the system, mischarges from others to your account with no way to get your money back, police and politicians demanding data access without a court order, etc

Me: (carries unflattering picture of Elon musks head everywhere for no reason)

No one ever had those problems.

Ya know I may be a Californian Redneck but I do at least with my facial features look pretty big standard ethnically Scottish, how many false positives could I trigger with my ugly mug? Regardless get one of those blowtorch lighters and melt the plastic camera lenses on these pieces of absolute detritus.

The world is catching up with China I guess

No thanks!

Trusting Revolut when they say that your personal data is safe... man, I'd better not

No phone, or card, or cash required

Don't forget no fuckin thanks.

What happens if I'm wearing an Aphex Twin tshirt?

It’s a trap

Would be funny if the company is based in French.

At least Amazon had the forethought to use hand veins for biometrics instead of your face. You kinda have to go out of your way to see my hand veins, but this is just a blatent face-harvesting exercise.

These were great at Amazon but not being able to have a full size cart was a deal breaker.
