“if we can make anything more convenient people will give up their rights” is crazy

Csaba Gálffy :
it's not cost vs convenience it's only one thing: consent. (or lack thereof)

I’d rather you just feel a little bad for forgetting my name.

Or people could just wear nametags at conferences.

I’d so much rather you just ask me my name for the 3rd time than live in that nightmare world

Capital turning normal human interactions into “inconvenience,” is horrible.

Sell it as an event app experience- when you go to a conference for example, you opt in, for the event, and see names and company of the people around you. Integrate with LinkedIn, touchless contact transfer. Profit.

I have no idea why we would ever want this. Being at a conference is not real life. There are better ways to network than facial recognition.

I’m actually shocked by this take from Nilay. He’s usually so much more intelligent than this

This would be a different story if it was processing faces locally against a personal database stored on my encrypted device. Meta's AR glasses exist first to get more data out of their users and the people around them.

TLDR “I’m bad at remembering peoples name because I don’t actually care about them so let’s create a mass surveillance program so I seem ever so more charming while wearing creepy glasses at a tech conference.”

It is wild what they are willing to give up. Just for a small bit of convenience.
