    If you live in a city (not only) anywhere, you are on at least 5-10 security cams when you leave your home on the way to work or the store, more counting those in your workplace and the store. Unknown how much are with face recognition soft. Think of it, you are tagget.

    Worst knowing that a lot of live cams are even with public access and even streaming on YouTube.

    Good. People don’t understand implications until it happens to them. Suddenly they don’t like this security features anymore because it became personal.

    We need more people to experience that discomfort

    Was this an attack or just some artistic BS? The article is unclear. Mostly because the article wasn’t written by a person.

    Pretty cool… But anyone else get major AI vibes from the way this article is written?

    Why even become a journalist anymore if you’re just going to be putting prompts into a black box and copy/pasting the output?

      But that’s what capitalism is all about! Efficiency.

      Now one journal-ist can produce hundreds of art-ickles per hour!

      This article gives me vibes that someone wrote a few lines outlining the situation and asked the AI to write the article itself. Interestingly though, I think most people would just rather read the outline, less time wasted and less llm.

      A part that screams AI would be:

      This wasn’t subtle venue security—your biometric data became part of the artistic statement, whether you consented or not.

      “This isn’t this–it’s that” is an extremely common AI sentence structure, further exposed by the fact that the part before the em-dash doesn’t even make sense to begin with. No one was asking themselves whether it was part of subtle venue security.

      As a sidenote, sometimes I read sentences like this and I wonder “could this ever even have been written by a human?” I think that there’s a very low chance that this article didn’t have at least some amount of AI involved, but I know that somewhere out there there must be some people who actually write like this. And that’s kind of sad.

      tbh I don’t even know why I even wrote this, the entire article appears to be one big example of generic AI writing

    The only people offended by this are the ones who dont yet understand that this is happening constantly all over the place without your consent already.

      It’s a great way to showcase that these things are in use and will be in use in places with bad privacy laws (and by those that ignore such laws). Most people don’t want to think that this happens on a daily basis, it’s logical for them when you tell them, but they’re busy with their lives and they don’t actually see it being done with their own eyes.

      Now tell them how this data is connected to your ticket and your face/video being analyzed after the fact, which is then sold off to become what is basically an quantification of you as a person to judge you and determine what your addictions, views and flaws are, in order to expoit it to make you as miserable as possible. And people won’t really believe it since it’s uncomfortable to believe in. Showing someone’s face makes it more believable and difficult to ignore.

        Nah, not anymore. These tools are starting to be used by police without any remorse, so an ever increasing amount of people are aware. Its being used against immigrants, journalists, activists, etc. so the normie and privacy nerd worlds are starting to overlap.

        No of course not. But in order to be able to not accept it, you have to know about it in the first place. Thats what this is perfect for. No harm done, lots of eyes opened.

        I got a video that started playing which only had an arrow to expand but no x to close. It kept following while scrolling.

        Not sure why my ad blocker didn’t block it.

        Edit: after staying on the page for about a minute it just auto showed up

              huh, not showing up on mine. same setup: fennec with ublock origin.

              i do have more blocklists than default selected in the settings though. the annoyances and cookie banner ones are specially good.

                Oh hang on. My ad blocker was disabled. I turned it off to test something because my browser kept hanging when surfing the web on my phone.

                It is related to ublock origin for some reason. Because the moment I turn it off I can browse like normal.

                Case solved why I’m getting it :)

          Ah, i have it set to block 3rd party frames (anywhere, since almost only ad stuff uses this) and 3rd-party scripts (on mobile, breaks some things), probably that’s why.
