Because pop science articles often throw out bullshit like "blowing your nose can cause you to expel over 100 germs" because they know that 100 sounds like a big number and will get clicks.

People not questioning the actual context and meaning behind those numbers and how they connect back to something we actually care about leads to a lot of bullshit science reporting.

Lmao, bruh here thinks his brain evolved to process scales of millions and comprehend a nanometer.

Are you a special unique bro different from everyone else?

Til that OP has no concept of what a particle is or how small it is or how many of them there are in any given scenario because our brains did not evolve to process that kind of scale accurately.

~~Russia gives Ukrainians Russian citizenship and resettles them away from warzone with all the social security preserved: food, medical, shelter etc.~~ Russia murders some Ukrainians and kidnaps others and forces them to toil under their dictatorship to enrich Putin.

Ftfy.

Jesus fucking Christ do fucking better. What is wrong with you?

The joke still works fine, just replace PS2 with PS5 in your head.

Everyone having a FaceTime call does this. Every dash cam does this. Every Ring doorbell and self driving car does this. You can do this with a $10 usb pinhole webcam and an android phone or raspberry Pi.

The problem here is with facial recognition databases, not with people using cameras in public.

PimEyes does not use photos from Facebook or other social media.

PimEyes doesn't use images or data from Facebook or other social media.

It's a click bait article that's been regurgitating through the less informed part of the tech news world because it has Meta in its title and it sounds scary.

Actually good articles covering it would point out that the flaw is entirely a legislative one, where America and a large chunk of the world simply have zero privacy rights or protections.

Dumb, click bait article.

This is about PimEyes, and databases that hoard facial recognition data, not Meta or Rayban or smart glasses.

This has nothing to do with Facebook or Rayban. This can be done with a webcam and a laptop from 2006.

The entire problem here is PimEyes and the fact that it's legal to collect and build a biometrics database in the first place.

Oh so you're the type that sees Hitler invading Poland and thinks "doesn't effect me".

Go volunteer for Putin's army if you love his propaganda so much.

Jesus fucking Christ, the fucking idiocy of thinking that Russia unilaterally invading a country is that country's fault. Thankfully Biden is finally getting lead out of the water which will hopefully prevent this dumbassery in the long term.
