The ESRB has added:
“To be perfectly clear: Any images and data used for this process are never stored, used for AI training, used for marketing, or shared with anyone; the only piece of information that is communicated to the company requesting VPC is a “Yes” or “No” determination as to whether the person is over the age of 25.”
Sure, ok…
I don’t know what else to say about this, this will obviously turn into something else.

Step 1: Print a photo of your dad.
Step 2: Hold it up to the camera.
Step 3: Play Resident Evil 7.

Lol too bad facial recognition doesn’t work like that

From the description, it sounds like you upload a picture, then show a face to a video camera. It’s not like they’re going through FaceID that has anti-spoofing hardware and software. If they’re supporting normal web cams, they can’t check for things like 3d markers
Based on applications that have rolled out for use cases like police identifying suspects, I would hazard a guess that
- It’s not going to work as well as they imply
- It’s going to perform comically badly in a multi-ethnic real world scenario with unfortunate headlines following
- It will be spoofable.
I’m betting this will turn out to be a massive waste of resources, but that never stopped something from being adopted. Even the cops had to be banned by several municipalities because they liked being able to identify and catch suspects, even if it was likely to be the wrong person. In one scenario I read about, researchers had to demonstrate that the software the PD was using identified several prominent local politicians as robbery and murder suspects.

Plaster sculpt, then add fake skin to, and add a small linear actuator for breathing stimulation, small twitch motors under the skin, and run it under some alternating leds to stimulate blood flow coloration. Should defeat almost all facial recognition software. Might need some eye fakes.
Or just wear makeup to an insane degree. Or return to the forests and live a much happier life.

Except all the times it has.
When there’s only one camera that’s often been the way it has worked

Maybe 5 years ago, but not (usually) any more
- Doug [he/him] ( @Doug@midwest.social ) 4•1 year ago
So it does, in at least some cases, work like that?
It’s ok to admit being wrong
- Shikadi ( @Shikadi@lemmy.sdf.org ) 2•1 year ago
Yes, it does work like that in some cases. My comment is technically wrong, the best kind of wrong.
As another commenter pointed out, the way they intend to do it sounds absolutely like they are going to do it the old way, which surprises me because the hold up a photo thing has been a solved problem for a while.

While true, unfortunately the latest government spy bill is bipartisan. It will make end to end encryption for texts and chat illegal, using drug enforcement as the excuse.

Can people who stop trying to throw tech at things where it clearly doesn’t belong? Seems like every time I turn around people are trying to use AI for things with the expectation that it’s some flawless innovation that can do no wrong.
And that’s not even getting into the privacy nightmare that comes with things like this

I’ll either avoid buying anything with this tech or pirate it. I want this idea to be 6 foot under as soon as possible.

Because this strategy worked so well for determining individuals’ assigned sex at birth. What could possibly go wrong?

Well, assigning age at birth worked well so far…

The craziest coincidence, everyone I’ve asked was assigned the same age at birth. Small world.

Saw an app try exactly this. It was run by terfs and they wanted to lock out anyone who wasn’t a cis woman. Instead it labelled almost every black woman a man and many trans women got through the filter anyway.
