Why are these rich assholes so obsessed with tracking everyone? > Tools for Humanity bragged about many large partnerships that should make any privacy advocates shiver in dread: the Match Group dating apps conglomerate (Tinder, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish), Stripe, and Visa are some of them. Visa and Stripe being involved in this should indeed make everyone shiver and push back against this. Altman is not a good…

In the AI driven future we are heading into, telling the difference between AI-bot and human might become a valuable good.

So they're going to get rich from introducing both the problem and its nightmare of a solution.

What are the consequences?

That you can be identified, cataloged and controlled, potentially. We have the technology to create heaven or hell depending on who controls it…

Is it certain that impoverished people would weigh those potential consequences more heavily than being paid today?

For that matter, do we expect that the impoverished people the gp commenter refers to would resist, say, government-led efforts to compel their biometrics from them? [0]

Everyone deserves food and political freedom in my opinion. We could probably do it too if we actually tried.

not that it makes it any better, but you're saying that like it's impossible to do now what you're describing. you're already in the system, whether you like it or not, both public and private one(s).

Is that any different from reality now? At least they throw a few dollars at you for it.

I suspect that my face has been recorded and linked to my profile at several stores. Palantir or similar have probably scrapped all of the internet looking to link a face to an identity.

Real ID just because fully required for domestic air travel.

Poor people would sell a kidney if the otherwise consequence is starvation.

That is not a good measure for the willingness of a decision

They did that here in the Phillipines and they exploit the poor. They give money for people to allow them to scan their eyes. These people do not know the consequences of what they are doing.

> These people do not know the consequences of what they are doing. They might have known the consequences, but money is money. I feel like for 99% of people there is a certain sum of money for which they will give into pretty much any kind of data collection. Even I'd give into it if they gave me enough . The bar is just higher, but there does exist a certain $X for which I would give in as well.

Most times I’ve been biometrically catalogued, I wasn’t paid for the privilege. The government just kind of said I had to, and I wasn’t in a position to argue.

I guess I am in some sense compensated by the data brokers who psychometrically profile my internet use and resell their conclusions—but “free ad-supported internet content” isn’t exactly fungible cash…
