Most people are idiots. They are basically large, rather dim children. That has never been different. See all history for proof. Intelligence is not normal. Do not follow the herd. Do learn from those wiser and more intelligent. Scrape off the rest. Giving a feces about displaying your life story and intimate activities may make sense if you monetize it to other airheads, but what happens to those people is not my concern since I'm not teentarded.

I have to contradict the commenters here saying this won't happen because "HR people are dumb" (basically). Maybe so, maybe you don't know any HR people who know about this tool or how to use it, but if that sort of use of tools like this get picked up on, those "dumb HR people" will get basic training on using this stuff and bam, suddenly it's industry standard to stalk applicants and even "dumb HR people" can do it easily. Front-ends and tools and work-instructions in company documentation will pop up to aid them and it'll be a simple, daily task for these people. That's how this stuff starts, and using PimEyes isn't complex at all. We all thought dumb old people would be too inept to get on Facebook or the internet, but here we are. When considering the ramifications of widely available technology, ethical or otherwise, you shouldn't dismiss them outright because you think that bad actors will be "too dumb" to use it for evil. Life lesson: people are always just competent enough to use dangerous tools, not smart enough to avoid doing damage with them.

This thing is OP, I tried it on some people it definitely should not know, and it still found them. This is insane. I also found that a custom filter I use in photos of myself actually manages to prevent it from finding photos of me (high res, fully lit face), which is nice. I'll be using that filter more.

@deidara_8598

2 жыл бұрын

@@thucnguyen9673 It's a filter that makes the photo turn into a collection of tiny black pixels of varying density on a white background that looks like a black and white photo since it's so high res. Apparently this breaks the search engine, compressed versions of the image also seem invulnerable to the search engine too. I also found that applying a translucient purple gradient to a normal black and white photo has similar effects, while still looking like a normal photo to the human eye, just black and white with some added coloring. It could also be because I'm a fairly low-profile guy. I've never posted a clear unedited photo of myself to the internet ever, though I do appear in some family photos, usually in the background or among many other faces. I always make sure to heavily distort images of myself in creative ways like making it an oilpainting or a piece of abstract/visual art precisely to prevent identification from bad actors. It's enough for people who know me IRL to see that it's me, but not enough for a threat actor to build a clear visual profile on me.

It's not safe to assume everyone will be able to expend the same amount of brain energy, and reach the same solutions that you personally can. (speaking as one on the spectrum, focus and "intelligence" varies from topic to topic).

Doesn't surprise me at all. I've told people that when you walk in range of someone taking a selfie (pic or video), then one day you'll be able to find that footage, just a matter of time - the only barrier is computing power. This is a bigger problem for anyone under around 35 whose life has been well self-documented on the internet, typically all social media since their teen years. Luckily, I don't fall into that bracket.

Subjective - modified or affected by personal views, experience, or background. Moral relativism or ethical relativism - is a term used to describe several philosophical positions concerned with the differences in moral judgments across different peoples and their own particular cultures.
