Asking this because none of the 38 year olds I know are taking any medications and they look really young

The basis of science is making your own observations and drawing your own conclusions. You’ve done the first half, now on to the 2nd.

AI bullshit aside, this seems like a pretty cool development, if it’s as effective as they say it is. Wonder how easy it will be to produce it en masse, though.

Apparently yes.

The EU has proven very willing to levy increasingly large fines against the tech giants until they behave.

It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that we could use the hardware with 3rd party software. With the Quest line of VR headsets, Meta was pretty open to letting devs mess with the hardware. At least during the time I was using one.

Only acquaintances with your permission would have entered your face into their local database. Beyond that, checking faces against what’s stored in the database does not require recording, hence you should not be in any randos database.

Still a false dilemma. Recording you against your wishes is already against the law in some countries, and not required for the feature to actually function.

There’s no reason it has to be one or the other, you’ve created a false dilemma. It’s perfectly possible to have the feature operate locally without recording / tracking.

Is it a new setting? I haven’t changed anything in my settings and this was not the previous behaviour. Weird. Thanks for letting me know so I can change it back.

For the low price of $5.99 a month, I’ll provide premium mod/admin services like randomly deleting your comments, blocking you from random comms, harassing you in DMs, etc.

Or you can upgrade to the premium-user package for $15.99 where you get to do whatever you want with my silent approval!

It’s up to the govts to protect the rights of the people. If you’re in the US, you’re already on the verge of losing all rights anyway. For the rest of the world, there’s no reason to think we couldn’t regulate it in a reasonably privacy-friendly way. Local face tagging and recognition could work without cloud access, so that you’d only have access to information you keyed in yourself about somebody.

(e.g. domestic violence victim being recognized by their attacker)

Not sure how or why the attacker wouldn’t be able to recognise them normally.

My point is that same technology can and will be used to violate peoples’ privacy

Every technology can be used to do shitty stuff, and in most cases has been. It’s up to the govts to protect the rights of the people.

Way to belittle people with disabilities. In case you’re unaware, I’m talking about a real condition.

Prosopagnosia, also known as face blindness, is a cognitive disorder of face perception in which the ability to recognize familiar faces, including one’s own face, is impaired, while other aspects of visual processing and intellectual functioning remain intact.

I’m talking about recognising people I’ve met and know.

real time translations or point the camera at something to get more information via AI with our smartphones, but who actually uses that on the regular?

Anybody living in a foreign country with a different language.

For me at least, the killer feature is going to be tagging faces with names. Face blindness sucks.

Edit: For the downvoters, in case you’re unaware, I’m talking about a real life disability.

Face blindness, or prosopagnosia, is a condition where individuals cannot recognize familiar faces, including their own, despite having normal vision and intellectual function. It can be congenital (present from birth), developmental, or acquired due to brain damage from injury, stroke, or disease. People with prosopagnosia rely on other cues like voice, hair, or clothing to identify people.

I sympathise and agree with the intent, but the proposed solution is not great. No, I don’t have a better solution in mind.

Could you share your definition that somehow contradicts all the major dictionaries?

He mentioned it at some point in the past
