  It’s all AI. You should not worry about it. In fact you should not think about it. All is going to be fine.

    This is fine.

  Well, the alternative would be a camera in every toilet stall. See how our benevolent corporate overlords only have our best interest in mind?

  They know you are a person and they can call your a certain UUID, but there will be a hard time matching you to your name etc.

  Camera’s can do face recognition (if your face is even in the database) to know who you are.

  This only works until the point where they have your form in a database which they can check…

    We have heard this non-sense before, only to find it's trivially easy to connect to your PID.

      Never said that it wasn’t easy, it’s just harder than with facial recognition. In theory you could do it correctly in a way that it isn’t indentifiable.

      Also this works in places where faces are protected

  I’d imagine it’s like online advertisers: they convert your fingerprint to a token to try to sell you shit, but they allegedly don’t know who exactly you are or where you go. So visiting animatedllamaporn.com is still your little secret…

  They can see you’re a person but not exactly who you are.

    How is that a "fingerprint"?

    • realitista@lemmus.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity… So it’s like a disenbodied fingerprint. I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities.

        That’s a false reading 1/20 times

        And when has something like that ever stopped anyone?
