    how naive of him to think companies didn’t already scrape your facial data from anywhere you might have had a picture 10 years agol

      Yup. Last year some Harvard students put together a demo where they used Meta’s smart glasses and commercial apps to scan people’s faces, find their social media profiles, and summarize info about them, like where they live, work, their phone numbers, and names of their relatives in real time.

    Your facial data isn’t private information. You give it away every time you go outside.

      every time you go outside.

      But your likeness does belong to you. Try making money off of an AI movie featuring Taylor Swift.

        Don’t paparazzi make plenty of money off of selling unauthorized photos of celebrities? Celebrities can control some uses of their likeness, but not all of them.

      You’re talking about the American concept of having no privacy in public. Not all countries are like that.

      Your face being outside isn’t your “facial data”. It has to at least have that image, sure, in good enough quality, easy enough, linked to any piece of your identity, e.g. name or security number. If you just walk around and people take photo of your face, they don’t have your “facial data”. That’s the entire reason why reverse image search and similar services exist. It is NOT an easy problem technically speaking.

    It’s already done, if you have any photographs of yourself on the internet. No need to fight that battle, accept and push forward.

      I suppose I’ll accept it and just start pushing forward with setting fires. 🔥

    Yes I have.

    With a model I fine tuned myself and ran locally on my own hardware.

    Suck it

    • utopiah@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Just curious, do you know even as a rough estimation (maybe via the model card) how much energy was used to train the initial model and if so how do you believe it was done so in an ecologically justifiable way?

        Don’t know. Don’t really care honestly. I dont pay for hydro, and whatever energy expenditures were involved in training the model I fine tuned is more than offset by the fact that I don’t and never will drive.

        Just curious, do you know how much energy went into powering every computer and office room for 3 years while the latest videogame/hollyowood movie/etc was being made used up?

        Should we ban every single non-essential thing in the world or only the ones you don’t enjoy?

        Feel free to explain the down votes.

        If it wasn’t clear the my point was that self hosting addresses mostly privacy for the user but that is only one dimension addressed. It does not necessarily address the ecological impact. I was honestly hoping this community to care more.

    Did they not give Twitter their facial data when they uploaded their avatar?

    source
    • frog@feddit.uk ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      They do, but even if they didn’t AI companies are going take them anyway. Bots make up 50% of internet traffic. AI companies have ignored robot.txt entries. Anything publicly available, even if it’s behind a password, is accessible since companies like Reddit sell that information.

        Bots make up 50% of internet traffic.

        I’ve read a study that claimed ads were 50% of traffic by data volume.

        Is anyone actually still using the internet, or is it all ad networks sending crap to bots?

    source
    • Jankatarch@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Honestly giving up is reasonable. We need EVERYONE to respect privacy for this whole thing to work.

      You could be the most privacy focused individual and your mom’s facebook page would still have your graduation picture with name of the highschool you went and your home address in the back somewhere.

      • Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        That’s also ignoring how all of your actual personal information (full name, address, social security, phone number, email, etc) have already been leaked 16 times this year alone

    I remember years ago someone in my class decided to make Russian look alike pictures of everyone in the class and post them as a gag on the doors. I forget what it was called, but several of my classmates were angry that the person had taken their pictures without consent and given them to some weird Russian picture algorithm.

    At this point in time, I have no doubt that all kinds of pictures and information regarding me is in the hands of people and companies I don’t care for.

    It is hard to avoid when you don’t have any control over your own information because people share your pictures and your info without consulting you. All the time and without malice. It is what it is.

      There’s stuff I could do, like remove tags from myself on fb (is that possible?) or delete my account, but it’s enough work and enough of a loss (what if I need to find an old contact) that I just ignore the problem.

      source
      • Nangijala@feddit.dk ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        It sure is possible, because I untagged myself from all pictures people had tagged me on before deleting all comments I ever wrote, all pictures I ever posted myself and then deleted my Facebook after that.

        For years, the only thing that kept me on Facebook was that I had a few people I only had contact with through messenger due to us being from differnet countries.

        When I learned about Signal, I immediately got those people onto that app so we could stay in contact and then I went on a mass destruction rampage of my profile. Literally went from “but I have to keep it because of my connections” to “let me simulate digital dementia, bitch”.

        I understand that most people can’t do what I did. For me it was several years of gradual detachment from the platform that made it super easy to pull the plug in the end. It’s a bit harder for those who actively use fb every day for social connections and jobs and so on. So I get it.

        But yeah, you can’t really control whether or not people keep posting about you after you leave. I have already had that happen after visiting an old friend and honestly, I cannot bring myself to care about it.

      It’s cleverly addressing a valid point. If your face is visible on the internet it can be used in an ai database without your consent. That’s just where we’re at.
