Sammy wants to be called “President and CEO of the World.”
This is Elon-tier shit.
Sub Elon tier, as Elon would call it 『ZA WARUDO』.
lol can’t disagree!
“President and CEO of the World” who wants your eyeballs for his menacing orbs.
Unsatirisable, supervillain shit. Mr. Incredible should kick his ass.
I feel like calling this supervillain shit elevates Ol’ Salty too much.
But it’s specifically cartoon supervillain shit. It’s not even a Bond villain, those are way too serious in comparison.
Yeah. We don’t need Bond or even Squirrel girl. Call in the fucking Paw Patrol for this clown.
I’m trying to think of how you monetize eyeball scans and the first thing that comes to mind (well, after being able to break biometric security) is training an AI to generate fake but passable eyeballs to undercut the use of iris scans as an anti-bot tool.
Like, it’s such a specific piece of data and it’s not going to provide much utility for advertising targeting or profiling or whatever else, so I’m not really sure where the money is on this one. Not sure if I’m missing something or if this is another case where I’m trying to assume these people have the barest idea what they’re doing.
Sam’s plan is to become the de facto authority on verifying if people online are real or a chatbot (a problem HE PERSONALLY CREATED, by the way). His goal is that most companies start asking you to scan your eyes on your device to verify you’re not a bot, and to match that against sam’s central source of authority.
Basically sam is trying to create a new form of certificate authorities, because he knows (rightfully so) that if he is successful, he becomes the arbiter of who is and isn’t allowed on the internet and that’s extremely valuable (nevermind the fact that HE ALSO CONTROLS THE THING THIS IS PURPORTED TO STOP)
Selling specific, verifiable biometric identification information to governments and other organizations interested in identifying and tracking individuals, more reliable than fingerprinting. “Buy our eye scanner and be able to instantly identify any person you have in custody!”
It’s about control, it’s about power, it’s about police state.

Silicon Valley’s basically an AI cult at this point, so I can see your case.
Nope
