What would be the attack vector with indirect access to a webcam?
De-anonymisation for one. But more generally, if I’m the sort of person who would allow this I’d probably allow some other stupid permissions if they promised me something novel on the other side.
Say what you want about AI but it makes it possible to build a whole slew of awesome stuff
Horrible UI's though.. just look at this. But the idea is cool.

A surprisingly robust approach to human verification would be to abandon visual classification entirely and instead exploit culturally embedded call-and-response patterns. There are obvious concerns regarding age and demographic bias, but these could potentially be addressed through a rotating corpus of challenges. More interesting is the adversarial question: while an LLM can trivially retrieve the expected response…

I'd love if people stopped trying to pretend Snowden didn't happen.
It's very comforting to think that somewhere deep within the NSA is a person whose job it is to watch my face while I poop.
So you don't fear being victimised and don't plan to ever stand up for those who do. Not very unique, I'd say that's the primordial slime we all come from... but why stay in it?

Maybe try hiding your face below the camera and throwing your hands up in the sky so the camera only sees your hands then play/sing Metallica.

You take a mortal man
And put him in control
Watch him become a God
Watch people's heads a-roll
A-roll
A-roll

Led rats through the streets

That's hilarious side by side with stories about cops abusing surveillance to stalk their ex, and women generally. So you don't fear being victimised and don't plan to ever stand up for those who do. Not very unique, I'd say that's the primordial slime we all come from... but why stay in it?
Is that so? Can you show me what it was, exactly, that lead you to this determination?

> pedantically rigid My original comment was perfectly reasonable… Sorry if asking clarifying questions about your hypothetical app seems to have hit a nerve.
> We were talking about an app hence my comment on usability. Now we’re discussing something entirely different. The misunderstanding is, yes, for this app you would need the phone to stand vertically, so yeah, some kind of mounting adapter would be needed, or at least the user has to find a way to expose both cameras on the horizontal plane while also having their hands free .. It would be a pretty cool app, but yea…
