What do you mean by "it's a camera"??

EU does affect you. You are not living in a bubble. We are all in the same boat. But that's not what I meant at all, I said that where this is happening, you won't trick them so easily because they actually put effort into what they're doing...

The way you walk is apparently also unique per human so you might have to take up a limp or something similar.

Would you do that every single day of your life, no matter the circumstances and never ever slip even a little bit?.. that's exactly how these systems have data on everyone. And AI makes it so a human doesn't have to waste 2000hrs to detect it where you stumbled once.

I listened to an episode of hardfork and the interviewee was trying to figure more about a ai company that had a db of faces, and Everytime she had her face run, the company apparently was notified and pulled access of the end user almost immediately

Shits fucking scary

I wish I was in the EU to sign this.

I hope they listen to you this time, even if politicians hardly ever listen to the people.
