Bootlicking's easier for people to type and say, and most people do have an understanding of what it means. It's just not really officially codified yet.
And it's all good. There is far too much bad faith bullshit going on on this platform that goes unabated for me to not at least try to speak in good faith. I wish the others would learn to do the same. 🤦
Yeah no, that's not happening at any Walmart anywhere, your claim is entirely baseless and without evidence.
Your friend probably did something to piss off the workers and it wasn't stealing. It possibly could have been racism. Maybe even bad luck. But it is an exception that proves the rule.
Walmart doesn't have or use AI like that. No one has been arrested for stealing from Walmart on the order of an AI. Unless you have evidence, this claim is dismissed.
