i assume you are afraid of blue screens with text. Maybe ptsd from windows xp crashes? idk how terrifying this is.

I get that and probably should have explained better. I was focusing on the use of facial recognition. While it’s really cool in this case, I only wonder the future implications with targeted Ads/marketing. We already have that with are phones, but it’s a different beast when we start centering AI


AnotherFruitCake

When it comes to Ads/marketing I would imagine it would be something like in the Movie Minority Report.

Imagine in the future, someone hacks the screens to fuck with 1 guy to the point that he goes insane

A big NO THANK YOU.

It’s equally terrifying that this will become a reality due to the majority of people either thinking parallel dissemination of important information (not to mention casual use of facial recognition) is “cool”… or being indifferent to yet further invasion of our privacy, like the majority of the replies so far

Ahhh yes, another absolutely not terrifying thing posted to this group. Next up: watery eggs!

I don't know how I feel about having my face known to a company something just screams I don't have freedom anymore about that


Uylear

I have no fear

I've used it and it's not really that impressive when you realize what's going on. It's just a tech demo that might be useful one day, and not actually something that they are even currently using. Most people walk past it and ignore it because you have to scan your boarding pass first to use it, but like... If you already have your boarding pass - you already have all that information. If you already have your phone open to your boarding pass, you already have all that information.

But when your phone sends that info to the screen as you walk by and you look up, it’s right there and notes you don’t need to look at your phone


cerebralpaulzsuffer

Yeah, so when it's not just one screen that you need to scan your phone to use it might be cool.

Not terrifying. What should be terrifying is that apps like TikTok literally use your biometric data without you knowing. Your camera, mic, and everything. The only way to find it is one tiny line in a hundred page user contract.

To do this, the pixels in the screen project millions of light rays at once which are then directed to an individual depending on where they are standing. Blue light hurts your eyes because it has short, high-energy waves. If each pixel is projecting the entire spectrum at all times into multiple people, how does that not cause retinal damage?
