"Soypunk Dystopia:" Is FaceBook's #10YearChallenge Meme Just A Sneaky Way to Get People to Upload Pictures of Themselves So That FaceBook Can Improve Its Facial Recognition and Aging Effects Projection Software?
"Soypunk dystopia" coined by Tim Pool.
So, if you've noticed people posting pictures of themselves in current year along with a picture of themselves from ten years ago, that's because >FaceBook told them it would be a fun, cool, hip, harmless game to do so. But is it?If you use social media, you've probably noticed a trend across Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter of people posting their then-and-now profile pictures, mostly from 10 years ago and this year.Tim Pool (not the author of the piece) says his reaction to that wasn't one of relief, but of alarm: Oh shit, that's right. I've already given them all this personal shit about me without having thought about it at all. But that's not quite true. I'm guessing that most people who do this "Ten Year Challenge" stage a new photo in which they are angled and posed exactly as they were in their photo from ten years ago, to better show Now Vs. Then. Which is exactly what you'd want to sharpen a facial-aging-projection program. You wouldn't want to have to compare a three-quarters semi-profile with a straight-on shot. You'd want the faces to be in the same postures and in the same angles, so that the programming as a true apples to older apples database to work with. This is creepy shit and these people are no one's friends.
Instead of joining in, I posted the following semi-sarcastic tweet:My flippant tweet began to pick up traction. My intent wasn't to claim that the meme is inherently dangerous. But I knew the facial recognition scenario was broadly plausible and indicative of a trend that people should be aware of. It’s worth considering the depth and breadth of the personal data we share without reservations. Of those who were critical of my thesis, many argued that the pictures were already available anyway. The most common rebuttal was: "That data is already available. Facebook's already got all the profile pictures." Me 10 years ago: probably would have played along with the profile picture aging meme going around on Facebook and Instagram
— Kate O'Neill (@kateo) January 12, 2019
Me now: ponders how all this data could be mined to train facial recognition algorithms on age progression and age recognition

Once again, Justice Ginsburg will be celebrating the holiday by performing for family and friends her annual one-man play depicting events in the life of Martin Luther King, Jr.
The performance will last for eight hours with a five-minute break at the halfway point.
Those fortunate enough to have been in the audience in past years never fail to marvel at Justice Ginsburg's amazing costume and character changes, including among others her uncanny and frankly rather disturbing portrayal of a Birmingham, Alabama police dog.
Those sitting in the front row may wish to wear a poncho.

Computer learning works better when you have a whole lot of different inputs providing options, rather than just a single before/after comparison. You've already contributed to this if you've been using Facebook over the years. Just one more reason to delete that shit.

Celebrities are not a random sample, though. Celebrities tend to appear about 10 years younger than their chronological age (example, in Peppermint, Jennifer Garner plays a 35 yo, she is 46). Also, what makes them more attractive than average is that they are more symmetrical than average.

Symmetry is not a big thing with the older actresses, these days - not even old, really, ... they start screwing up their faces in their mid 30s, it seems. They don't care what their final proportions are so long as no age lines can be spotted. Look like a sick fish face or some mongoloid sideshow attraction? No problem. As long as the lines in her, now rigid, forehead are hidden.

Still, I don't see that as the greatest danger of facial recognition. Years ago I got pulled over by a cop who was randomly typing license plate numbers into a computer. Years later I got pulled over by a cop who had a scanner that automatically read plates and cross checked them with the database.
I worry about the police using FR to scan public spaces and arrest people who are just walking around.

When I was undercover as a Marine Recon Ranger Raider in Cambodia I injected myself with Cong blood and buried myself for 3 days under jungle loan and elephant shit so I wouldn't smell like round eye, eating nothing but stinky fish sauce and baby foreskins so my farts would be authentic.
Then, I flew into the insertion point via monkey powered hang glider and landed on a temple spire, ready to act. I had to kill the monkey to keep him from talking in case of capture. I was able to use his guts for my radio antenna and call in air strikes from the Franco-Irish Ambulance Brigade, a front group for the Peruvian First Peoples Front.
They fvcked up the strikes and ultimately I had to do it my self, but that's another story... a story from the case files of Agent Orange...

Ja. School Year Books. I have a completely different opinion of that standard now. Military ID also has your photo on it.
And back in the day, there was a professional photographer that took individual portrait photos of those trooper 'graduating' basic training.
Photo ID is a requirement now. You think law enforcement, military intelligence, civilian intelligence, even government agencies, doesn't have contractors working on facial recognition?

The blind driving in that movie was only one of the many stupid parts of it. Blind whitewater rafting was a close second.
But the best part was that, in the end, they are in the "sanctuary" of the blind people, impervious to the whatever the fvck it was ... but there are still crazy mothers out there who can see and want to kill everything in sight. The blind people really can't do anything to stop that ... and that little door on their compound isn't gong to stop much of anything. But, according to the movie, they were "safe" with the blind people.
What a shitty movie that was.

Granny was feeling poor after gramps passed. She decided to commit suicide. She read up on it, found out she could shoot her self in the heart by shooting herself under the left breast.

Not really. They are *always* going to want to refine and reduce error rates. To do that, they need as large a sample size as possible. To get input for that data size, which would work better:

Well. Mommy posted the family photos we had taken for Christmas a couple of years ago and somehow Facebook tagged me in them.
That remains creepy as hell because there's no link to me anywhere on Mommy's FB or my brother's FB or my sister in law's FB because I'm not on FB.
And yet FB knew who I was. Creepy as hell.

We bought a 'smart' TV on clearance. Not even cutting edge, only 1080p.
It's obvious how much it's being used to data mine. Pre-installed apps can't be deleted. Requires Samsung account to access smart features (so they can associate all this data with a single ID). AND IT EVEN PLACES ADS in your menus.
I've already found out how to access developer mode. The next is to decide if I want to try to tamper with the operating system and cut some of this shit out.

If you only wanted the TV part and don't care about the Smarts crap then just don't connect it to the internet.

In another exchange leaked to Silicon Alley Insider, Zuckerberg explained to a friend that his control of Facebook gave him access to any information he wanted on any Harvard student:
Zuck: yea so if you ever need info about anyone at harvard
Zuck: just ask
Zuck: i have over 4000 emails, pictures, addresses, sns
Friend: what!? how'd you manage that one?
Zuck: people just submitted it
Zuck: i don't know why
Zuck: they "trust me"
Zuck: dumb fucks

When I asked Zuckerberg about the IMs that have already been published online, and that I have also obtained and confirmed, he said that he "absolutely" regretted them.

mics and cams, but we are NOT required to have them on. We use Skype to
communicate but even if we do Skype calls, you don't have to have the
camera on and can turn off your mic after the call is through.

There was an old cartoon I saw one, with a silhouette of a man running away with a knife, and a TV camera trained on it... Cropping the image so that the running man's shoe looked like a knife, and the assailant looked unarmed.
That perfectly sums up where we are now - the media is turning reality on its head.

Fired for failing to do the basic criteria of their job.
But the negligent Press was every bit as incompetent as said UPS driver, when smearing the Catholic Kids and completely mis-reporting the facts of what actually happened.
Remember, if the American National Press reports it, the story is factually incorrect. NEARLY EVERY TIME.
Worst of all, they don't care about the national damage for which they are responsible.

Here's the huge difference between Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, et al, and Google, Facebook, Twitter, and the like:
Apple and Microsoft and Amazon sell you things for money. If they collect information on you, it's so they can figure out what kinds of things you would buy so they can sell you those things in exchange for your money.
When Google and Facebook collect your information in exchange for a service that you don't pay for, it's because they already have a buyer on the other line offering money for their product, which is your information.

Also for breaking a press policy on naming, picturing minors who are alleged to have committed a crime. I know, these kids didn't commit a crime - but watch the local news when a minor steals a car, holds up a convenience store, whatever - they never say the kid's name nor show a picture of them. This was a blatant hit job by the MSM, not even giving these kids the same protections and underage thug gets.

The earliest organized system for identifying known criminals and repeat offenders used tattoos and unique features as well as basic facial features to identify them in England and later New York City. This was before fingerprinting and identifying fingerprints was really understood or could be done reliably. They knew what finger prints were but they could only make use of visible, existing prints on things, not "lift" them etc.

This story has really rattled me. My children attend Catholic schools - one private, one parochial (like I think Covington was? or maybe it's fully private). We sacrifice A LOT to send them there. Both schools had buses that went to the March for Life as they do every year.
When I saw the original video I didn't understand the massive negative reaction honestly! even presented that way I didn't get the vitriol.
But now I do. They really hate us. They hate me, my family, the schools we support and love, my Church, my country, my freedoms, and my President. We are hated. We are UnPeople.

The Touch ID biometrics Apple uses are actually treated a lot like how password are treated, with a one-way hash function. Like how you can't determine someone's actual IP address from their post hash, you can't work out a password from a properly hashed password, and you can't re-create an image of a thumbprint from a Touch ID hash.

I've actually synthesized that stuff (luminol) before, as a lab experiment. Its synthesis used to be in Louis Fieser's book, "Organic Experiments."

Even if I didn't know a thing about what's in glow sticks I would bet all I had it was non toxic. Otherwise they would have already been banned and sued out of existence.

Stalin will likely be the winner of the California Democrat primary next year. All the hopefuls are going to be trying to outflank all the others on the left. How the ultimate nominee is going to tack back to the center (in the time-honored fashion) is anyone's guess. Even the MSM won't be able to bury all the evidence.

Or just BE false data to manipulate demographics research... or mess up a company's advertising and marketing ideas. Ruin them by making them think their product should be presented or marketed in the wrong way.

If you rely on databases, this is your nightmare, that the information is missorted, mislabled, typoed or wrong. Bad data can made you conclude things wrong, and when you are hired to tease that information out correctly, it means you stop being useful

Federal workers totally gorked a database by consistently using "O" for "0" in numeric fields.

Should be: whoever drafted the spec allowed non-numeric values in a numeric field and didn't sanitize inputs.

This is true, but we're talking the government here. Look at the Patent Office's database, and search on, say, "Microsoft." You'll probably find dozens of variants on the name (e.g., Microsoft, Microsoft Corporation, Microsoft Corp., Mircosoft, Microsofft, Microssoft, etc. and all the variants of "corporation."

That is true, but my point was that the technology has progressed to the point where the data you would get from this particular exercise would not be all that useful.
The original version of the challenge--or, at least, the one most of my friends who participated did--was "first and current profile photo." Profile pictures are already public and already sorted by date. If they were going to use that to refine their algorithm, it's long been done. In other words, zero of my FB friends participated in a manner that was of additional value. Plus you have to weed out the joke posts, the profile photos that were of someone else or an inanimate object, the posts that were not actually taken 10 years apart (mine was not), etc.
They'd get better-quality data to work with elsewhere.
