How is this interesting at all? You could have built these types of systems 10 years ago. Do people really think that facial recognition was invented by Apple? Geez. This isn't AI. My car already has what you describe.
"Being that your face information IS NOT sent to the cloud, like how the fingerprint reader doesn't send your finger print to the cloud, I don't the security problem with that."
If most users don't care enough to set a PIN, then why would they care enough about biometric security for Apple to invest money in producing it? Maybe there is an other reason that Apple is pushing this.
No it isn't a dead end. It is the Holy Grail. If companies can use biometrics to find and track you, then can push you ads where ever you go. Oh wait, you thought they were doing it for YOU?
I'm not being sarcastic. Who is demanding automation and voice activation? The reason there is a current push to automation and voice activation is FOR TRACKING AND DATA COLLECTION PURPOSES. It is amusing you think it is about what YOU want.
I don't think they have any ideas on how to improve the user experience at this point. It is a smartphone. I can't think of any features that I want that a modern smartphone doesn't have, except for durability. It would be great to have a smartphone that doesn't require a case to protect it from drops.
I'll take your word on that! Companies change the design whenever they want. The iPhone has different components and designs within the same model for example. Companies care about money. You aren't going to be able to dispute their error rate claims anyway.
What are you talking about? There are no customer facing "specs" on the accuracy of any iPhone feature like that. Companies can change the design as much as they want, even during production.
No one wants Face ID anyway. Apple and the tech industry has completely run out of ideas in the mobile space. You might as well improve profit margins instead.
Yes, you have no idea. How do you think the video gets to you? What protocols does it use? You are confusing infrastructure and scale and new models of things with "tech".
The technology to deliver video over the Internet was available long before 10 years ago. The tech hasn't changed, just money was put in to build out the infrastructure. The technology Netflix uses to deliver your movies is literally 40 years old. You are just talking about new models.
Uh huh. Let me guess: you are "grassroots" and everyone else is "well funded globalists"? And Trump is just a common working guy just like you. He isn't part of the 0.01% elite from NYC either. Unlike Clinton, right? What a joke.
I guess if you think Netflix is "tech" then you are even worth responding to. What you are talking about is "models" not "tech". You probably think Siri is "AI" too.
"Ten years ago, no tech could understand spoken word or recognize your pet."
What are you talking about? Voice recognition has been around commercially for 20 years. So has image recognition. Millennials are so impressed by stuff that is wrapped in a shiny package and they think it is new.
+1 insightful. The real threat is the "as a service" model. Companies love it because it is a steady revenue stream. They aren't doing it to make it better for you.

But how will I fulfill my government mandated continuous Telescreen viewing obligation?

Riiiight.
Interesting. I don't. I guess I am the only one who doesn't use it. Carry on!

Interesting. I never see anyone use the fingerprint reader. I guess there is always one guy.

They do? I'm pretty sure everyone is happy with PIN based logins. Does anyone even use Touch ID?
I thought Face ID requires a special "AI" chip. Isn't image recognition "AI"? Surely it requires a special "AI" chip!

I think that is kinda the point. Maybe they shouldn't be using adhesives or making something that is unrepairable.

You are an idiot if you voted for either Clinton or Trump. Both are 0.01% elites from NY.

"hard won freedoms that our men in uniform fought and died for"
So our military fights for the rights of corporations? Yeah, I can see why you voted the way you did in the last election.
Tech hasn't "moved fast" in the last 10 years. Those days are over.
What AI "actually works"? And don't say "playing Go" or "playing Chess".
