I made a fingerprint recognition system for my undergrad thesis. It is unfortunate that some of this stuff being debated in the *apex court* over crowd-surveillance on public protests in the *national capital* in *2026* is so basic that I had to learn it for my undergrad thesis.

The patent describes it as a tool for “assisting users in any suitable camera-based task by any suitable system in any suitable manner.”
That word “suitable” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, isn't it?

LAW TO BAN 'SURVEILLANCE EMPIRE' GAINS SUPPORT
Yes, pls! Supposedly more than half the city council favors the bill. A similar bill has stronger language but not the same support.
No news on when it might pass or how it would be enforced.

SF Standard: Castro bars dropped face scanners. The bigger fight isn’t over. “A months-long fight over an ID-scanning system that photographs arriving patrons at Castro gay bars has come to a head, with all three venues known to use it — Badlands, Toad Hall, and The Mix — halting the practice under pressure from privacy advocates.

There've now been at least 2 cases at Sainsbury's in which an innocent customer was humiliated because of false positive facial recognition.
In both cases, rather than admitting that the technology isn't fit for purpose, store management sided with the Ai, calling it "human error."

@julianlawson @peterbrown thanks for the precision, while I was looking at figures around theft in the industry I saw that too, clearly it has nothing to do with #facialrecognition at the till, so why put it there? If the guy shows up with a wheelie bin, you don't need AI to know he is a danger, there should be more to support staff confronting gangs https://www.theguardian.com/business/article/2024/sep/03/retail-crime-co-op-organised-criminals-lords

If cameras were in the #BoardRoom and key executive offices #CorporateCrime in the two #SuperMarkets would be reduced (Staff underpayments, price collusion with suppliers, brand replacement) 🤪🤣☺️
