  You have allowed FreakBook to collect all your private data for so many years.

  Now you are having questions when somebody actually uses them?

    I haven’t used or uploaded any photos of myself to Facebook in probably about 10 years. So I would be interested to know what it can find on me as I highly suspect I don’t look the same as I did 10 years ago

      Probably all the photos of you that other people have posted.

      Identifying you could be possible all the same.

    This has nothing to do with Facebook or Rayban. This can be done with a webcam and a laptop from 2006.

    The entire problem here is PimEyes and the fact that it’s legal to collect and build a biometrics database in the first place.

      I thought the comment was about “giving PimEyes training data via interacting with Facebook”.

    This article focuses to much on the glasses/face recognition tech while the actual problem is the database with of personal information and its public accessibility.

  As someone who gets greeted alarmingly often by people whose names I ought to remember but don’t (I’m a minor community leader but am bad with names), I’ve wanted a device like this for 20+ years. I’m a little sad about the concept being vilified.

  On the other hand, as an advocate for both privacy and Free Software, I always imagined it as being completely self-hosted and only adding people’s names/faces to its database when I’m introduced to them in person. I’m not at all sad about the particular implementation being vilified.

    This reminds me of Watchdogs the game. Thought this was scary and cool at the same time.

    People have survived without tools like this for thousands upon thousands in years. I think we can afford to wait a few more until there’s a privacy-respecting method behind it. I know we won’t, but I’m sure we could have.

    As someone who is bad sat names but has a more social ex, same here. There are so many people I come across that ought to know. I probably come across as rude or aloof because I’m bad at faces and names

  They used PimEyes, nothing new.

  Of importance: they do not want to release the tool but use it as a way to raise awareness.

  Dumb, click bait headline.

  This is about PimEyes, and databases that hoard facial recognition data, not Meta or Rayban or smart glasses.

    In my opinion, it’s about both the databases and the hardware. Specifically if/when always-on cameras become socially acceptable to wear in public, then facial databases can be utilised.

    Presently, I don’t think it’s socially acceptable to always be pointing a phone’s camera at someone.

      Everyone having a FaceTime call does this. Every dash cam does this. Every Ring doorbell and self driving car does this. You can do this with a $10 usb pinhole webcam and an android phone or raspberry Pi.

      The problem here is with facial recognition databases, not with people using cameras in public.
