Something happened on facebook that really gave me the creeps a few months ago. I posted a picture and it didn’t just ask me if I wanted to tag people. It accurately guessed who they were. Imagine Google glass telling me who everyone around me is as I walk down the street. I can then do all sorts of searches on all of them as I walk by.
I used to say that technology changes as much in five years as it used to change in five generations, but it is moving exponentially faster.
Where does that leave mere men when it is changing that much in five minutes? Can any human culture survive? Amd when will that breaking point come?
We will need Angels surrounding us.
Yes, FB has had integrated facial recognition technology for sometime.
Iirc they bought it COTS from an Israeli company. And the Israelis are, for obvious reasons, on the bleeding edge of that tech.
facial recognition technology is pretty stunning
I once interviewed for a company that was making a cool project in Buffalo, NY- i was amazed at what they could do with it
They could pick out a face in the crowd at an airport - and this was almost 10 years ago
“Imagine Google glass telling me who everyone around me is as I walk down the street. I can then do all sorts of searches on all of them as I walk by.”
You know what is scarier than that?
NYC already has networked all their surveillance cameras together with pattern recognition software. Right now they can already track people around the city in this system by license plate, but soon enough, they will be able to do the same with facial recognition.
