Comment on Amazon's Ring cancels Flock partnership amid Super Bowl ad backlash

I’m just glad people were smart enough to realize the implications of “finding lost dogs”. I immediately thought this implied terrible surveillance uses. I asked my wife about how she thought this would work and she thought it was very sweet (she and I are both dog lovers). I said so how are they “identifying these dogs?” She went through the mental process… “they just take the footage and use the same facial recognition to see if a dog matches a missing one…. Oh yeah, that’s bad”.
I guess a lot of other people did the same thing.

Does facial recognition even work on animals? I seriously doubt it.

Depends on how sophisticated it is. My iPhone has been able to correctly identify and tell apart different cats for about 3 years now and gets it right 90% of the time.
And before I get the comments: yes, I’m about to fully leave the Apple ecosystem.

How similar do the cats look?

My current cats are pretty different: 1 tux and 1 brown tabby. However in the past we’ve had another 2 tuxes. Those are usually where the mixups happen, between the 3 tux cats. But even those tend to work out most of the time.

Yes absolutely it does. If you use Google Photos or Apple Photos they will handily identify every instance of your dog’s face. It’s not quite as accurate as people, but they’re perfect capable with little effort.

Yes. Immich works great at separating out pets.

It’s not just facial recognition anymore, though, they’re looking at all kinds of other stuff, even how you walk.
