    So, who is providing the software? Because that’s who is paying to get a unique data set of face images. Specifically Brazilian faces of people who either self-indentify as hung over or want to try to game the system for a discount. I’ll let you guess which population is going to be bigger.

      Taking advantage of inebriated people to hand over their biometrics, not even for a free burger, but a discounted burger.

          Oh no, they’d get slightly less obscenely wealthy on the exploitation of ill-gotten biometrics *shockedpikachuface*

      Feels like their training AI with live data until it gets good at detecting drunk people. Law enforcement and private security will love it. Precrime detectors in Training.

        But they’re not using drunk people, they’re using hung over people. Not sure why, it’s an interesting question.

      Maybe it’s just burger king, so they can look at your selfies on Instagram and know when to fill your ad space with burgers 😜🍔

    Capitalist dystopia in its essence. Fetish for AI and normalization of mass surveillance, after all, AI’s need to be fed, right?

    I could have written that algorithm for them.

    IsCustomerHungover()
        if restaurant=Burger King
            return true
        else return true  # out of spite tbh

          Based on syntax, use of indents for code blocking, and the comment hash, I’d say it’s meant to be python but has a bug. But it could always just be pseudo code with a mistake. But it doesn’t look like any single = conditional language I know.

            It looks like pseudo code to me. But pseudo code doesn’t really have a standard, does it? So their personal flavor is perfectly acceptable and correct (single equals acting as comparison). We know what they mean, what they’re trying to convey – we get the joke. No need to pick it apart. 👍

              True, I wasn’t intending to be nasty. I was more responding to the “How do you know” in a general sense of how one COULD assign it a language. No harm meant at all.

                Oh, gosh, it’s my mistake. I confused you with the person who made the initial nit-pick about the equal sign. Hey, have a good day! 😊

          TBF I got a kick out of them using “*” (in a syntax meant for human communication, correcting stuff) and then adding “==” to it. Meta-pseudocode

          But you’re right, I wasn’t really thinking of anything besides typing as little as possible on my phone

        And now I get to accuse you of doing it on purpose!

        Really though, being ugly is such a real disadvantage. You may as well have some financial burden lifted for it.

    They meant to say fecal recognition. They’re struggling to determine the difference between a Whopper and a whopping dookie. No luck so far, and I doubt an app is going to help.

      Two things have saved me money in this life - being able to cook, and being able to fix things.
