New AI technology promises to-
Hmm, where have I heard this before…
The funny thing is AI is not really mentioned in the rest of the article. I don’t think any of the new technology being introduced has anything to do with AI.
I guess “AI” is just a synonym for “new stuff” now.
lmao. as if the ai was gonna have a better carbon footprint than the small plastic thing you replace every 5-10 years
Is there an AI technology that would help me not roll my eyes every time I hear AI? Can’t wait to add this to the garbage pile of popped bubbles next to NFT, blockchain and metaverse.
And I’m saying that as somebody who uses LLMs for work regularly, it is a useful tool, but the absolute delusional bullshit hype that imagines uses beyond its capabilities is exhausting.
LLM is amazing tech, but holy fuck I can’t wait to get out of this bubble. Some of these applications sound like when they put radium in butter in the 50’s, because atomic energy was so hype.
“[Biometric confirmation is] a lot harder to compromise,”
And a lot easier to obtain by force
Stolen? LOL fingerprints cannot be stolen. Stealing is taking away something from someone.
They are not protected, they are not copyrighted, they don’t go away from you when someone copies them …
You leave them everywhere, every day.
Fingerprints are public knowlege.
Identification != Authentication
As obvious as this sounds, I’ve learned over the years that most people don’t understand what it means exactly.
“The industry is at a pivotal point - new technologies like Gen AI are rapidly shifting how we shop and manage our finances,” said Jack Forestell, Chief Product and Strategy Officer, Visa.
This is so cringey. I get that investors are randomly throwing cash at companies that talk up “generative AI,” but it has nothing to do with anything they announced. Is it impossible to just be content with ridiculously sophisticated algorithms? Did someone hold a gun up to these people and demand they spit out some drivel that uses the buzzwords du jour?
Also, the headline feature was solved a decade ago when Apple Pay was released (and no, not by the janky predecessors of Apple Pay but specifically with the launch of Apple Pay, which everything was then changed to replicate). One device that can hold an entire wallet of cards and I can choose what to use right when I pay? Wow! So new.
