Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

    Facial tattoos of drop table commands. Embed computer worms into your iris. We can get insane to removed all this shit up too. I bet theres a way to embed a computer virus on your own face.

      I guess I’ll adjust my life goals to “hot cyberpunk partner in technological dystopia”, because that sounds like some Bladerunner/Cyberpunk 2077 stuff.

        Its not that far off. We’ll see exactly what I said soon enough. You can put a virus or worm inside an image in an email. You can do the same thing with a tattoo. Its unfortunate it will be here so far before the superhuman cybernetics.

        Honestly with enshittification “technological dystopia” sounds like exactly where we already are. Now, if only implants weren’t being R&D’d by Muskrat and there were some open source non-invasive version…
