... Two Harvard students recently revealed that it's possible to combine Meta smart glasses with face image search technology to "reveal anyone's personal details," including their name, address, and phone number, "just from looking at them." In a Google document, AnhPhu Nguyen and Caine Ardayfio explained how they linked a pair of Meta Ray Bans 2 to an invasive face search engine called PimEyes to help identify strangers by cross-searching their information on various people-search databases. They then used a large language model (LLM) to rapidly combine all that data, making it possible to dox someone in a glance or surface information to scam someone in seconds -- or other nefarious uses, such as "some dude could just find some girl's home address on the train and just follow them home," Nguyen told 404 Media. This is all possible thanks to recent progress with LLMs, the students said. "This synergy between LLMs and reverse face search allows for fully automatic and comprehensive data extraction that was previously not possible with traditional methods alone," their Google document said. ...

[fwiw, LLM, as used above is what it commonly referrered to as AI.]

Let's test it on the kids first again.
That last social experiment we did on our kids worked out so well!

Will these work on ID'g Republicans or Democrats or even Zuckerberg. For the most part these companies are run by Democrat aficionados always scheming and looking to make money by taking away your rights, privacy, freedom of speech, and paying off Democrat politicians. Tell me I'm wrong and exactly what is wrong, instead of claiming broad generalities.

Here's what the fool Robson really thinks... well, it's what he's been told to think; that to get to a libertarian utopia, one needs to get rid of democracy.
