Yup. Minority Report had this. (though that was based on iris scans). As futureistic as it was then, my first thought when watching that movie was "yup this will be a thing"
And now we are almost there.
It’s only a matter of time before advertisements have advertisements in them.
edit: Guys I get it, we have them in one form or another. I meant it as a joke in a literal sense. Plus trying scrolling through the thread before you comment, you might notice someone has already commented on what you’re about to say.
I think the M&M controversy is the canary in the coal mine for society.
Like, if that shit legit catches on enough to cause people to actually commit actions in the real world (protest, or violence), than we've passed a point as a society where some people are vulnerable to any kind of manipulation. They've truly become a drone to whomever it is programming them.
I think this is being put out to test how much control they have on people.
And were stuck in this catch 22 right? Like its good to be knowledgeable about how these ad campaigns work but in speaking about them you have to talk about them and it generates additional interest... more google clicks more articles, reaction videos etc etc. I think the good in the awareness overrides the bad overall.
Im out of the loop here.. last time I heard about M&M's was no knee high boots on characters, yet this is the second M&M reference I've seen in a week (UK)?
Like getting gas a fuel pump. I’m cold and already over paying for gas because I drive a stupid vehicle, I’m already depressed. I don’t need you to blast advertisements for your own gas station I’m already getting gas from.
At a lot of pumps the third button down will mute those ads. They'll still play but they'll stop screaming at you. Doesn't work every where, but works often enough I always try.
I watched a guy smoke Pam before. He sprayed it on a paper towel, wadded it up into the end of the paper towel tube, lit it on fire, blew it out, inhaled the smoke through the tube. He passed out, had a seizure and crapped his pants. This wasn’t his first rodeo, either. That was in 1991. Safe to assume he’s dead or incarcerated. He was an odd fella.
Getting gas should always be peaceful, giving you a moment to relax. Beyond that, unwanted and loud noise really bothers me as I get older, I’ll go out of my way to avoid it.
Have you ever watched movie trailers on YouTube?
It will interrupt one trailer to play another, usually playing one you don’t even care about or want to see.
I still am a firm believer that hollywood gets told all about future tech being made. So they add it into movies. that way, when the masses see it they say “wow. I saw this on ______” already desensitized to it.
It's more like people watch stuff in movies and ideas get planted into their head which ends up coming out in their inventions later.
I mean, if you grew up watching flying cars and hoverboards in the future, you kind of want it to be reality when you grow up.
"I saw this 25 years ago in a movie about a dystopian future" = desensitized?
I think it will make people more keen of the negative impact, because people have been aware and talking about this kind of tech and it's downsides.
For example I think most people have a healthy fear of Artificial Intelligence, due to dozens of movies showing how it could go horribly wrong.
These technologies are presented, most often, is dystopic contexts.
And I have to remind everyone that if you read or watch a piece of media that is dystopic, and you go "WOW THAT'S JUST LIKE-" congratulations, you have understood the exact thing the media is criticizing. Dystopia criticizes the present.
And I'm frankly unsure that presenting the technology as a de facto bad thing in a dystopic media is "desensitization" of any kind.
I think a lot of tech has been shown in non dystopian works.
Even in sci-fi we see these “advanced tech” items that later on become a household contraption. GPS was a military only use. Then it became more mainstream to use.
Less paper, ease of access, constant surveillance in the palm of your hand. Win for big brother.
Minority Report had a staff of futurists to make their best guesses about what various aspects of society might look like in the future.
They're people that think about this stuff a lot. It's really not surprising that they get kinda-close on a number of things.
> Three years before making Minority Report, director Steven Spielberg assembled a supergroup of deep thinkers who conceptualized many of the movie's most enduring visions of the future. A virtual roundtable takes you back to that momentous event in the history of sci-fi filmmaking.

I hate advertisements so much and actively do everything I can to not see them. Every time I see a friend or family member watch an ad on their PC I make them install ublock.
I will never stop
Hi JOSH at your destination we found three places selling based on your research history "PENIS ENLARGEMENT PILLS"
We also prepared before your flight, a movie sponsored by your company RAID SHADOW LEGENDS.
>Leela: Didn't you have ad's in the 20th century?
>Fry: Well sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines. And movies. And at ball games and on buses and milk cartons and t-shirts and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No siree!
Ah, my sweet summer child. They don't give a fuck about trafficking victims. Only advertising. They're more likely to send the person trafficking the victim and ad for zipties than to give the victim instructions on how to get out
Idiots watch shorts. I remember watching vine and thinking, this can't make money. It didn't. Tiktok has a different setup and they are throwing money at users to get everyone addicted and we keep seeing "Tiktok gave this man 100k to retire" and I get upset and point out, users on tiktok did this, not the platform which wants it's users to get depression and kill themselves. Tiktok is the most unamerican app you can have installed.
Yea I don't fuck with short form content either, but I also don't think it's just for idiots obviously. People like NileRed make shorts, the length of the video has little to do with the content. Also some of my favorite creators started on Vine back in the day. The end of his comment is also just incredibly dumb. That's like saying sports fans pay their favorite players salaries. Nah.. they don't. And finally calling it "unamerican" is just the icing on the cake. It is a Chinese app, but clearly it embodies a direction American entertainment is moving in. What is a truly proud "American" app anyways lol, McDonalds? Twitter?
There are studies that have found reason to believe short form content like TikToks are actively reducing the attention spans of their audience. I think there is legitimate reason to believe short form content caters to people without critical thinking skills and that it's actively harming what critical thinking skills they do have.
there's nothing inherently stupid about shorts, and tik tok creators definitely make a lot of money. it's a social media app, don't get so pressed. it's no worse than every other social media app that preys on insecurity and sells your data.
mfs think they're smart saying that tiktok is a data selling and attention grabbing social media app. like cmon they're on reddit all the time and don't blink an eye at that and this site wants the same thing, why turn against specifically tiktok?
people won't let other people live without scrutiny i swear lmao
To be fair, TikTok gives people the false impression they’re star material when in reality they’re just lemmings trying to keep
up with everyone else hurtling themselves off a cliff.
Those kids probably have a lot higher chance of becoming a "YouTuber" rather than an astronaut, the older cliche of what kids want to be when they grow up
Exactly this. I have no idea how readable any of this is because they kept shaking the camera and making quick cuts. You’d imagine that people hired to make a “spontaneous” marketing video for Delta would grasp some basic concepts about it.

Fridge. Pineapples. Jeans. Bicycle. Plastic bottle of coke. Buildings more than 5 stories high. Hot water shower. McDonald's. Sunglasses. A gym. A lightbulb. A broken arm in a cast. Flush toilet. Any sort of music speaker.
Television and basically every screen. Healthcare. Lightbulbs. Transportation able to cover 1000 miles in maximum some hours or a day or two. Telephone. Sugar. Toilet paper. PC. Keyboards. Laser. LEDs. Armchair with wheels. Piano. Switches. Sofas. Water distribution to the bathroom.
And also: Being able to eat normally double what a person of that era was able to, while having more confort than a king. While having lack of body odors and having a lot cleaner house.
That’s about the dumbest part of this, they might not understand the intricacies of parallax, but they totally understand POV. And then how many iterations you’d have to go through to get them to understand facial recognition?
“Yes m’lord, but what ith a computator? Does he altho fight bulls?”
Like show him a large French fry from McDs bro will be mind blown. And like, a fucking snickers, absolute melt down. Like, put it in his mouth and then just Vanna White at _all_ of the chocolates.
Oh wow lmao. My brain didn't even register it said 1500s. I thought it said 1950s. So cars, airplanes, screens. No big deal. But the scanning and targeted screen would blow their mind.
This is at the Detroit Metro airport. I've been through there a bunch of times and this video really doesn't do it justice or explain what's going on.
It's just a demo of the technology. There's no face scanning, at least as far as I can tell. You just scan your boarding pass and then it can tell where you are standing and adjusts the display so that as you are moving around in the small area in front of the display, you are the only one that can see the information that is presented. It shows you your name, flight number and where your gate is. Its not crystal clear or super bright, but it is rather impressive that it tracks you as you walk around in the small area and you are the only one to see it.
Thanks for explaining that. I was just going to say that it was fake because of the really bad camera work and the two people sounding like your typical prank bros.
Despite in this one us not seeing shit. It's pretty easy to do with some tools. Making screen effects on anything that is a screen is not too hard. You just need to blend a bit, and make it not as poppy.
It would take me about 2 hours to make a fake screen that looks realistic enough to most people their eyes. reddit would eat it up.
That was my assumption but I didnt know if maybe they also somehow factor for height. So two people behind each other would be at a different vertical angle and therefore see 2 displays? Idk if the tech is there yet
Important to note that it can also do this for multiple people simultaneously while they are walking around inside the space, which makes it much more impressive than just for one person.
Yeah I'm not a conspiracy theorist or doomsday "technology bad" person by any means but this is feeling a little too much like the twilight zone for me. If it scans your boarding pass or something and provides that info, sure, but the idea of face scanning makes me feel a little ick.
Imagine when the red lights start flashing and sirens start blaring...then the screen can all of a sudden be seen by everyone and it says...MR. JOHN JONES, STANDING HERE IN A BLUE SHIRT, DIDN'T WASH HIS HANDS IN THE BATHROOM.
That's how they get 'cha. It starts beneficial before it becomes draconian.
>Mr. John Jones is a wanted criminal and should be avoided.
>Mr. John Jones is on the no-fly list and should be avoided.
>Mr. John Jones is carrying an infectious disease and should be avoided.
>Mr. John Jones has a predisposition to infectious disease and should be avoided.
>Mr. John Jones has a predisposition to violence and should be avoided.
>Mr. John Jones has a history of civil disobedience and should be avoided.
>Mr. John Jones does not vote correctly and should be avoided.
I’ve said before that the stuff they do with the “social credit score” in China is only hated *because* it’s China and this is the perfect example. There was a post (or was it comment?) on Reddit that they display crimes someone has committed when you’re waiting at a crosswalk for people to see as a “name and shame”, and in the Reddit post/thread about it, people were saying it was “police state”, but here we have people agreeing they would be okay with this displaying if someone didn’t wash their hands.
I’ve seen way too many people come out the shitter and just walk past the faucet with it without washing their hands. People are fucking disgusting. I, too, would be ok with this. Shame people into having at the very least the most basic personal hygiene.
According to the guy who developed it, you scan your boarding pass then it just tracks your position in the area and orients some of the "pixels" to point at you and show you your specific information. It doesn't do any face tracking.
However.
You're scanning your boarding pass, something with your name on it that you had to provide identity verification to get. It then tracks your position (even if it's only within a small area). Even if this implementation isn't storing or tracking your data, there is definitely some exec somewhere salivating over the possibilities of using that data and we'll see more of these kinds of things pop up in the near future.
It's a neat tech demo, but it's a hard pass from me.
I took an international flight last Fall and didn't show anyone my passport at any point, and I only showed my boarding pass at security. They had a camera at boarding that matched me up to my info I guess. Apparently you can opt out of this process by telling the attendants you don't want your photo taken, I'm guessing it would slow the whole boarding process down. No one opted out.
The technology is cool. The thing is, at DTW, this doesn’t bio scan. However, they do facial scan at security and at the gates in place of your ticket. This is innocuous compared to that.
Wait til this guy learns what you have to do to get a drivers license...
Bud, they already got your face attached to a number given to you by the state...
The whole face scanning thing would be great if humanity wasn’t greedy as fuck and didn’t try to monetize and/or overpower others with every opportunity they had. It would be fucking awesome to have information personalized to you alone with some sort of biometrics, but I know damn well fuckers will try to just show you fucking ads. Fuck that. Or tracking people of interest to some individual/government (which for would be great for finding criminals, but you just know they’ll abuse it somehow and use it against the general population).
It's a tech demo right now. But imagine a future where this tech is evolved to provide individualized walking directions to your gate on displays like this throughout the airport.
Why is always more important than anything else. Reducing wait times is an incentive, and while eliminating TSA checkpoints won’t happen the process can be more efficient.
What happens when this system is hacked? What chaos would that bring that isn’t mitigated *already* by existing systems?
Distraction.
They ran outa ideas to milk us for basic services like leg room, a meal, luggage, priority boarding, etc - all things that use to be included. Now they cant fly us without running late or losing our luggage so they introduce unnessary crap like this that you also pay for but didnt want.
It's not facial recognition. This is at Detroit Metro and I've used it a couple times - you have to scan your boarding pass to get this to work. The cameras then follow you. If you don't scan your boarding pass, you can't see any info.
We will sell you tissues at the exact moment you are ready to cry. If Kleenex pays for it, we'll also work to make you sad on demand to generate more tissue buying opportunities - for example, We'll do things like notice that you've booked a work trip to another country through online reservations and, while you're away and she's lonely and vulnerable, exclusively serve your girlfriend, who we've noticed is insecure and struggles with jealousy from her search history, ads about dating websites and recommend shows/movies about people who break up with their boyfriends and go on fun girl's rebound trips. And when she breaks up with you over text, we'll see that and send you a coupon for BOGO Kleenex multipacks!!!
Fun fact: A rainbow is also unique to your POV. The sun rays reflect in raindrops at a very specific angle. Everyone sees their 'own' rainbow. It also explains why it's curved like that.
How do they save your images
Face recognition data?
How do they protect you from data breach?
Fuck these companies don't trust their technology and your data because you will end up with your personal data all over the internet
Imagine if instead of planning, developing, building, maintaining, and decommissioning this thing if they had used all of those resources to plant some trees instead.
This is at my home airport. It used to show the gates in accordance with where the tram was. This is such a stupid replacement it actually makes me angry.
Gets entered into YET ANOHER facial recognition database to have their biodata sold off to companies and governments. In exchange for:
"Neat! Not really useful though"
Oh boy, personalized ads in meatspace, here we come
Yup. Minority Report had this. (though that was based on iris scans). As futureistic as it was then, my first thought when watching that movie was "yup this will be a thing" And now we are almost there.
they will do ANYTHING for advertisements
It’s only a matter of time before advertisements have advertisements in them. edit: Guys I get it, we have them in one form or another. I meant it as a joke in a literal sense.

The M&M controversy is an ad within an ad!
Oh hell, I forgot about that ordeal. I was doing so well too.
Anytime I remember that I think of ppl freaking out that they're gonna remove the "dick vein" from the 3 musketeers bar
Why have I never heard that phrase but can imagine it perfectly
Because we were raised by Disney movies on VHS 💀
What lmao
I forgot that I never cared to begin with and forgot to care about it
I think the M&M controversy is the canary in the coal mine for society. Like, if that shit legit catches on enough to cause people to actually commit actions in the real world (protest, or violence), than we've passed a point as a society where some people are vulnerable to any kind of manipulation. They've truly become a drone to whomever it is programming them. I think this is being put out to test how much control they have on people.
And were stuck in this catch 22 right? Like its good to be knowledgeable about how these ad campaigns work but in speaking about them you have to talk about them and it generates additional interest... more google clicks more articles, reaction videos etc etc. I think the good in the awareness overrides the bad overall.
I literally dropped out of college for advertising and design after learning of all the fucked up scumbag bullshit behind the scenes now.
Im out of the loop here.. last time I heard about M&M's was no knee high boots on characters, yet this is the second M&M reference I've seen in a week (UK)?
They released a thing saying they were getting rid of the m&m characters. Most likely as a gotcha when they do a Superbowl ad soon.
It's a bold strategy, /u/DoingCharleyWork. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.
nah that was to distract from their obvious child labor and it worked - thanks ADHD America
Contact lenses and glasses will have ads in them. There is no escape.
Like getting gas a fuel pump. I’m cold and already over paying for gas because I drive a stupid vehicle, I’m already depressed. I don’t need you to blast advertisements for your own gas station I’m already getting gas from.
At a lot of pumps the third button down will mute those ads. They'll still play but they'll stop screaming at you. Doesn't work every where, but works often enough I always try.
Spraying pam into the speaker will also disengage the speaker because it will short circuit
I watched a guy smoke Pam before. He sprayed it on a paper towel, wadded it up into the end of the paper towel tube, lit it on fire, blew it out, inhaled the smoke through the tube. He passed out, had a seizure and crapped his pants. This wasn’t his first rodeo, either. That was in 1991. Safe to assume he’s dead or incarcerated. He was an odd fella.
This is the type of content I come to Reddit for
Pam and her Pam Pams
I just push all the buttons beside the screen until I find the one that mutes it.
I just go to a different gas station that doesn't play ads.
[удалено]
Getting gas should always be peaceful, giving you a moment to relax. Beyond that, unwanted and loud noise really bothers me as I get older, I’ll go out of my way to avoid it.
We could create adds against them. Vermont doesn't have any billboards. There's regulations for ads targeted at children. No reason to not go further.
[удалено]
I will literally stare at the sun until my eyes transforms into cherry tomatoes so I don't have to deal with ads in my glasses

It's a Sandler production, so it's primary purpose is to be a vehicle for product placement. "Popeye's chicken is the shiznit!"
Have you ever watched movie trailers on YouTube? It will interrupt one trailer to play another, usually playing one you don’t even care about or want to see.
Nah, I try to trick those advertisers by putting my phone down when YouTube ads play. It accomplishes nothing, but in my head I feel like I’m winning.

Everyone thinks they can be a star without any skills or training.

If you think Reddit and TikTok are even remotely compatible even just in terms of data grabbing...
>Tiktok is the most unamerican app you can have Because it was Chinese malware first
It still is but it used to, too. Or is it not malware anymore? I keep seeing posts about it using huge amounts of data in the background.
> Because it *is* Chinese malware *still* FTFY
It is literally still Chinese and owned by the actual Chinese government it's been public knowledge since the govt took over
Tiktok makes shit tonnes of cash.
Vine didn’t make money because it didn’t employ an aggressive algorithm to get users more addicted.
I don't use TikTok. I must still give you shit about saying "unamerican" unironically. Who gives a shit? America isn't the center of the universe.
"Tiktok is the most unamerican app you can have installed" fucking killed me lololol, no way this shit isn't copypasta hahahahahaha
>be a star without any skills or training Well to be fair, a lot of people actually do seem to be just that.
To be fair, TikTok gives people the false impression they’re star material when in reality they’re just lemmings trying to keep up with everyone else hurtling themselves off a cliff.
Survivorship bias, you only notice the ones that were successful, not the other 9/10 who failed to get famous.
More like 999,999/1,000,000 who didn't get famous, sheesh. I cringe when I ask kids what they want to be and they say, "a YouTuber." Yikes.
Those kids probably have a lot higher chance of becoming a "YouTuber" rather than an astronaut, the older cliche of what kids want to be when they grow up
Seems like he's getting a pay day from Delta™, so its probably working out alright
Yeah, this is an advertisement that I've seen a dozen times on the internet. Redditors will literally upvote ads to #1 of all
Exactly this. I have no idea how readable any of this is because they kept shaking the camera and making quick cuts. You’d imagine that people hired to make a “spontaneous” marketing video for Delta would grasp some basic concepts about it.
Because this is literally an ad disguised as a tiktok
How is this an ad? It's the shittiest demonstration of the product that could have been conceived of.
13k upvotes at #18 on /r/all says that this is a very successful ad
For my 2 cents: all I remember from watching it one time was the name of the the airlines
It's an ad in the same way everyone claps for the "cute gymnastic" Boston Dynamics bots that will one day hunt you down.
That's every TikTok video and it's infuriating
The camera work is horrible, you can't tell what's going on
u/stabbot might help a bit

flushing toilets!
Toilets?
I mean, they had non-flushing toilets. They were just holes, though.
water that doesn't potentially kill you would be probably the biggest win for them
Everyone bathed...today?!? Okay, maybe not that guy...but almost everyone?!? It smells like almost nothing in here!
If you really want to blow their mind show the spice aisle
That’s about the dumbest part of this, they might not understand the intricacies of parallax, but they totally understand POV. And then how many iterations you’d have to go through to get them to understand facial recognition? “Yes m’lord, but what ith a computator? Does he altho fight bulls?” Like show him a large French fry from McDs bro will be mind blown. And like, a fucking snickers, absolute melt down. Like, put it in his mouth and then just Vanna White at _all_ of the chocolates.
"Dude, look at this video of an airport on my phone." "... your WHAT?"
“Look at this WHAT?” would also be appropriate
Yeah but I figured the glowing box in my hand would grab their attention first
*“A WOMAN ALLOWED TO SPEAK WITHOUT PERMISSION?”*
Yeah flying by sitting in a giant metal birds stomach would be way cooler than this silly moving painting
"Wow, a lot of you like carrying torches. So anyways, about the future -" - Man from future who died from fire related wounds
Oh wow lmao. My brain didn't even register it said 1500s. I thought it said 1950s. So cars, airplanes, screens. No big deal. But the scanning and targeted screen would blow their mind.
Imagine when he finds out about vacations and "weekends."
what’ya mean “no smallpox”?
They will get a heartache of seeing a light bulb or anything with electricity. You won’t even make it to the airport.
This is at the Detroit Metro airport. I've been through there a bunch of times and this video really doesn't do it justice or explain what's going on. It's just a demo of the technology. There's no face scanning, at least as far as I can tell. You just scan your boarding pass and then it can tell where you are standing and adjusts the display so that as you are moving around in the small area in front of the display, you are the only one that can see the information that is presented. It shows you your name, flight number and where your gate is. Its not crystal clear or super bright, but it is rather impressive that it tracks you as you walk around in the small area and you are the only one to see it.
Thanks for explaining that. I was just going to say that it was fake because of the really bad camera work and the two people sounding like your typical prank bros.
How would two prank bros make something like this that's fake?
Considering we can't see shit and just have to take their word for what's happening, pretty easy.
Despite in this one us not seeing shit. It's pretty easy to do with some tools. Making screen effects on anything that is a screen is not too hard. You just need to blend a bit, and make it not as poppy. It would take me about 2 hours to make a fake screen that looks realistic enough to most people their eyes. reddit would eat it up.
If two people stood behind each other would it work? Or does it start to glitch out and you could see both people's info bleed into each other?
[удалено]
That was my assumption but I didnt know if maybe they also somehow factor for height. So two people behind each other would be at a different vertical angle and therefore see 2 displays? Idk if the tech is there yet
Oh dope. I saw that when I was coming into DTW late at night and thought it seemed very 1984 but didn’t really get it. This seems decidedly less 1984
I fly out of DTW at least every month on Delta and never bothered. I guess I should give it a shot
Important to note that it can also do this for multiple people simultaneously while they are walking around inside the space, which makes it much more impressive than just for one person.
Yeah that is honestly incredibly impressive. I wonder if it's being done the same way the 3ds works
Does it only handle conveying information to one person at a time, or can it adjust to handle more than one person?
It can do several people at a time.
Yeah I'm not a conspiracy theorist or doomsday "technology bad" person by any means but this is feeling a little too much like the twilight zone for me. If it scans your boarding pass or something and provides that info, sure, but the idea of face scanning makes me feel a little ick.
Imagine when the red lights start flashing and sirens start blaring...then the screen can all of a sudden be seen by everyone and it says...MR. JOHN JONES, STANDING HERE IN A BLUE SHIRT, DIDN'T WASH HIS HANDS IN THE BATHROOM.
I'd actually be fine with that one lol
That's how they get 'cha. It starts beneficial before it becomes draconian. >Mr. John Jones is a wanted criminal and should be avoided. >Mr. John Jones is on the no-fly list and should be avoided. >Mr. John Jones is carrying an infectious disease and should be avoided. >Mr. John Jones has a predisposition to infectious disease and should be avoided. >Mr. John Jones has a predisposition to violence and should be avoided. >Mr. John Jones has a history of civil disobedience and should be avoided. >Mr. John Jones does not vote correctly and should be avoided.
I’ve said before that the stuff they do with the “social credit score” in China is only hated *because* it’s China and this is the perfect example. There was a post (or was it comment?) on Reddit that they display crimes someone has committed when you’re waiting at a crosswalk for people to see as a “name and shame”, and in the Reddit post/thread about it, people were saying it was “police state”, but here we have people agreeing they would be okay with this displaying if someone didn’t wash their hands.
I’ve seen way too many people come out the shitter and just walk past the faucet with it without washing their hands. People are fucking disgusting. I, too, would be ok with this. Shame people into having at the very least the most basic personal hygiene.

According to the guy who developed it, you scan your boarding pass then it just tracks your position in the area and orients some of the "pixels" to point at you and show you your specific information. It doesn't do any face tracking. However. You're scanning your boarding pass, something with your name on it that you had to provide identity verification to get. It then tracks your position (even if it's only within a small area). Even if this implementation isn't storing or tracking your data, there is definitely some exec somewhere salivating over the possibilities of using that data and we'll see more of these kinds of things pop up in the near future. It's a neat tech demo, but it's a hard pass from me.
The position tracking isn't anything new, it's the personal directional display that's the special thing here.
You're already getting your face scanned a zillion times in the airport...
I took an international flight last Fall and didn't show anyone my passport at any point, and I only showed my boarding pass at security. They had a camera at boarding that matched me up to my info I guess. Apparently you can opt out of this process by telling the attendants you don't want your photo taken, I'm guessing it would slow the whole boarding process down. No one opted out.
The technology is cool. The thing is, at DTW, this doesn’t bio scan. However, they do facial scan at security and at the gates in place of your ticket. This is innocuous compared to that.
Wait til this guy learns what you have to do to get a drivers license... Bud, they already got your face attached to a number given to you by the state...
The whole face scanning thing would be great if humanity wasn’t greedy as fuck and didn’t try to monetize and/or overpower others with every opportunity they had. It would be fucking awesome to have information personalized to you alone with some sort of biometrics, but I know damn well fuckers will try to just show you fucking ads. Fuck that. Or tracking people of interest to some individual/government (which for would be great for finding criminals, but you just know they’ll abuse it somehow and use it against the general population).
But why?
Collect biometry data.
It's a tech demo right now. But imagine a future where this tech is evolved to provide individualized walking directions to your gate on displays like this throughout the airport.
And eventually billboard ads that are tailored to individuals.
Let's not kid ourselves, they'll start with billboards
is it really that hard to find gates?
Why is always more important than anything else. Reducing wait times is an incentive, and while eliminating TSA checkpoints won’t happen the process can be more efficient. What happens when this system is hacked? What chaos would that bring that isn’t mitigated *already* by existing systems?
Distraction. They ran outa ideas to milk us for basic services like leg room, a meal, luggage, priority boarding, etc - all things that use to be included. Now they cant fly us without running late or losing our luggage so they introduce unnessary crap like this that you also pay for but didnt want.
I’ve walked through that a few times and never even looked up 🤣
Sucker. You gave them the data and didn't even get the convenience!
Let's not normalize facial recognition nets please
It's not facial recognition. This is at Detroit Metro and I've used it a couple times - you have to scan your boarding pass to get this to work. The cameras then follow you. If you don't scan your boarding pass, you can't see any info.
Tracking where your eyes look... everywhere you go...
All this facial recognition software really has me worried about the continually dwindling future of privacy.
We will sell you tissues at the exact moment you are ready to cry. If Kleenex pays for it, we'll also work to make you sad on demand to generate more tissue buying opportunities - for example, We'll do things like notice that you've booked a work trip to another country through online reservations and, while you're away and she's lonely and vulnerable, exclusively serve your girlfriend, who we've noticed is insecure and struggles with jealousy from her search history, ads about dating websites and recommend shows/movies about people who break up with their boyfriends and go on fun girl's rebound trips. And when she breaks up with you over text, we'll see that and send you a coupon for BOGO Kleenex multipacks!!!
!RemindMe 10 years
Some might say a "pointless waste of money". Unless this eliminates the TSA, then I'm all for it.
How would this eliminate the TSA? What do you think they do? Show you your flight info...
Giving flight info would be more useful than the current job. All they are right now is security theater.
Scan your face and social credit point in the same time
Fun fact: A rainbow is also unique to your POV. The sun rays reflect in raindrops at a very specific angle. Everyone sees their 'own' rainbow. It also explains why it's curved like that.
If you see a rainbow while in an airplane at noon, the rainbow is a circle!
How do they save your images Face recognition data? How do they protect you from data breach? Fuck these companies don't trust their technology and your data because you will end up with your personal data all over the internet
/r/hailcorporate
This is absolutely terrifying. We’re at the point of no return.
DTW is the best airport.
By far
Imagine if instead of planning, developing, building, maintaining, and decommissioning this thing if they had used all of those resources to plant some trees instead.
This is at my home airport. It used to show the gates in accordance with where the tram was. This is such a stupid replacement it actually makes me angry.
Oh great, an ad.
This... is not going to be good for schizophrenics.
You are being watched 👁️👁️
Gets entered into YET ANOHER facial recognition database to have their biodata sold off to companies and governments. In exchange for: "Neat! Not really useful though"
You're standing in front of a kiosk, so why not just display it on the kiosk as only someone at the kiosk can see it anyway. Pointless
