I’ve got one hand gesture for them!
These companies that feel entitled to our data have long ago lost the benefit of the doubt. You make money off of my personal information, you have also proved time and again you don’t always obtain consent before collecting it, (not even buried in some EULA or disclosure) so no, I will not record myself and upload it to you…
I’ll close that website page so fast they’ll give me a speeding ticket. And then a permanent piece of tape goes over my webcam.
This would mean they can access your camera when ever they want. This is why I always put a piece of tape over mine.
No, just like for any other website, the browser would ask you for permission before enabling your camera.

Please drink a verification can.
The only gesture I’d ever give it:

First time since I left Reddit that I just knew a comment would already exist, and here it is.
Turns out, I am no longer human
Meanwhile in india is spinning company of Indians of waving hands to cameras.
And you can be identived based on camera uniqueness, background image, hand shape.
Recent Advances in Deep Learning-Based Source Camera Identification and Device Linking
indians:
Future headline: Gemini sign language interpreter frequently flips the bird to absolutely everyone.
We’re not sure how this got into the training data…
Fuck no.
OK, so how does this work for things without cameras? They exist, I am using one right now. Does it just fail, does it default to another method?
Just go to your local Google office with some id. Easy.
A firm handshake and eye contact should do the trick!
Just guessing here but they’ll have to fall back to other means, which defeats the purpose of screening for bots. But this being google and their main source of revenue being advertising, i’m guessing they’re gonna use this technology to develop proof you’re watching the ads you’re shown
That’s a good guess, horrible though that is.
A dystopian future awaits
Oh I think it is here, people just don’t like to call it.
And my silly young ass back in the 90s thought “Dude, the future will be so AWESOME!”… If I could punch my young self, I would.
We all should have hacked the future harder I guess.
You just lose access to the internet eventually.
Maybe google’s internet. But not the whole thing.

So, training AI to read hands more correctly, or trying to make an AI sign language interpreter.
