Burger King Giving Discounts If Facial Recognition Thinks You're Hungover

In Brazil, Burger King says it's doling out "Hangover Whoppers," using facial recognition to determine whether you had too much to drink last night.

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

      If you’re in line at Burger King, your life’s already in kind of a dystopian place as it is. Clearly, several things have gone wrong for you to end up here.

        No other fast food chain here (we don’t have that many options) has as many vegetarian options, so if I crave a cheap mediocre burger it will probably be Burger King.

        I don’t need to be a Burger King consumer (which I’m not) to consider this news a dystopia.

        I prefer Burger King over most restaurants.

        I’m probably going to order a burger anyways so I don’t see the need to pay extra for a fancy one that I need a knife and fork to eat when I can get just as tasty burger from BK.

          Burger King where you live must be a hell of a lot better than the ones near me.

            They mail 5$ coupons for 2 wopper meals. It’s hard to pass up.

            Or I just have cheap taste buds. While to other people food is a pleasure to me it’s fuel.

              I think you care food-pleasure just as much as most people. Otherwise why not eat something healthier, faster or cheaper. I like to think that i didn’t use to care much about taste before so for lunch i used to eat 1k kkcal in the form of a unflavoured, unsweetened meal replacement shake, took <5 min to prepare+eat+clean.

          The real reason to go is the Bitties in the BK Lounge.
