Sharing my face with my camera with a random website? Sure, what could go wrong... /s

Devil’s advocate here. What could go wrong? If you open a website in a fresh browser context and let it use your camera, isn’t this about the same as walking down a street with CCTV cameras?

Most people have such weird and illogical views on privacy. A website collecting face pictures without anything else is pretty useless. Walking in to a retail store owned by a company using facial recognition on a huge range of owned stores is a serious privacy issue.

I was not really prepared for being told how unattractive I am this morning.

I was a 6.3 as I stepped out of bed. I took a shower, shaved, brushed my teeth, put on a nice shirt, fixed my hair and offered a good angle of my best smile at the camera. I was now a 9.

Interesting for sure. The first time I done it, I had a beauty score of 5. I then put glasses on and got better lighting, and got up to a 7. It kept saying my age was 18-20, but I'm 32. Finally it kept predicting my BMI as 30+, even though it's 22.5. So it was interesting, and a pretty cool tech demonstration, but it wasn't too accurate for me.

How far is it from 'beauty score' to 'aryan score' ?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Don't we all have tons of pictures of ourselves online already?

Almost all, yes. The people who don't are obviously not normal, so they don't need the website.

And by that logic, people who do are normal so they don't need to use the website either. So no one needs to use the website :)

web site has much more information about you that it can connect.
