Meta’s AI facial recognition smart glasses plan ‘will put women at risk’
(www.independent.co.uk)
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
First of all, fuck META and fuck spyware.
That being said, as someone with a neurological disorder that makes it difficult or impossible for me to recognize people, the benefits of a piece of software that could tell me someone name WHEN THEY HAVE ALREADY GIVEN IT TO ME would be so beneficial.
A lot of people don't realize how impossible it is to form attachments to people when I have to meet them a dozen times to remember that they exist.
Open Source already did this years ago, except it wasn't creepy nor privacy invasive.
