Is there any evidence anal prints are also unique? I want to start an AI company but it stands for Anal Inspections.

So you in or what? I’m going to the bank looking for VC funding tomorrow morning!
Maybe my last PII that’s secure.
Just like Elon’s tunnels could solve traffic.
it will be edible so they can see you from the inside
Sam Altman has so much shifty ideas
Sam’s first business was an app tracking each other with you and your friends. It sounded useless at the time but it was probably a precursor idea to surveillance capitalism.
I wanted to build something similar but included a Reddit style posting community.
I ultimately didn’t because the fear of a hostile takeover like what happened at twitter made me rethink allowing such a platform to exist.
I know I wouldn’t use any of the data to monitor users, but there’s no reasonable way to stop others from abusing the system I created.
it would be unethical to create such a system knowing it would eventually fall into some private investment firms hands.
None of them believe the 💩 they say to convince us to become even more surveilled, and we shouldn’t, either. Point blank, these people are self-serving sociopaths, and they know the financial pain they’ve caused everyone has about got critical mass.
By all means, you are the problem, stop trying to solve things no one based you to.
How can there both be loads of good artists not getting recognition and not enough tickets…
Why shouldn’t we use biometrics for security?
Because you can’t change them once they are compromised. It breaks so many rules for security it isn’t funny.
Why are companies/government pushing for this?
It is not about security, it is about tracking. This is the opposite of security and if we continue to allow it we will have severe consequences in our future.
Every time work pushes to use 100% biometrics I have to argue and get an exception.
I’ve got form of eczema where two to four times a year all the skin on my hands flakes and falls off… There are weeks when I have no fingerprints.
They’ve only brought up facial recognition once and I said it didn’t work reliably due to my skin color and facial hair. I have no idea if that’s true, never tried it, never will, but they didn’t pursue it any further.
I always enjoy throwing out the “if you force that, there will be about two months a year where I won’t be able to login… That’s up to you, but you have to document it so I can forward it to my manager and make them aware”. Unfortunately they haven’t forced it yet.
As far as I’m concerned, Tom Waits solved ticket scalping back in 1999. He did two shows in my area on the Mule Variations tour. When you bought tickets, you could only buy two, and you had to give a name. Not an id, just a name. And then at the door, you had to show ID. You would anyway because it was a 21-and-up show, but the name on the ID had to match the name on the ticket. They didn’t scan shit. Just the doorman glanced at the name, and compared it to what was printed on the ticket. You could buy as many pairs of tickets as you wanted under the same name, but you couldn’t then sell them to people because their ID wouldn’t match at the door.
Simple. Non invasive. It worked. The show was amazing.
The day I have to give some billionaire creep my biometrics to go to a show is the same day I decide I’m never going to a show again
Ahhh. Ticket scalping. The real issue of today’s generation that no one is courageous enough to talk about.
I mean, it is AN issue. We can do more than one thing at a time
You know what could solve ticket scalping? Ban ticket resales. That’s always been an option. Venues don’t do this because their only concern is selling out their seats.
they should just ban it for a profit, you should be able to resell tickets for what you paid for them, plans change.
Just as long as I can get a full refund if I’m unable to attend anymore. Maybe up to an hour before or something.
How would you do this without verification? How do you still allow gift tickets or buying for a friend?
Tickets are issued to a name and are confirmed at entry with photo ID, just like with an airline ticket.
not much better than eye scanning
You only need to know their names. Their ID matches their names to their faces.
Or control the prices so people don’t overpay.
TicketSwap does this and works with the venues I think.
Weird how so many techbro ideas boil down to registering your identification with the tech oligarchs…
I can’t think of anyone I would rather give unalterable biometric information to than a group of egomaniacal sadists who have shown utter disregard for the privacy of everyone as well as the legal code.
happening at the same time as age verification many tech, and websites.
I don’t trust a single thing that the world’s most successful snake oil salesman of all time says.
I’m not sure I’d give him the #1 position. Definitely up there, but not quite at the top. Or maybe several megagrifters should share the throne.
Yeah trump beats him IMO
Battle Royale of the megagrifters for the throne? Would surely sell some tickets, too. :3
Trump? Musk? There’s plenty of competition for #1. Atleast AI is actually a thing.
Is it though?
Not the think Sam has been selling it as though, which makes snake oil an apt comparison.
Scalping Sam Altman would surely sell some tickets.
