I try not to trust anything that has the name “Sam Altman” attached to it.
Just like Elon’s tunnels could solve traffic.
Is there any evidence anal prints are also unique? I want to start an AI company but it stands for Anal Inspections.

So you in or what? I’m going to the bank looking for VC funding tomorrow morning!
Maybe my last PII that’s secure.
Sadly, mine’s been on the internet for decades now.
um…
Sam Altman has so much shifty ideas
Scam Altman: “Oh no - the bots are 2 good. Gaze into my black hole pls”
Scam Altman: Literally gave birth to the bot technology.
I don’t trust a single thing that the world’s most successful snake oil salesman of all time says.
Trump? Musk? There’s plenty of competition for #1. Atleast AI is actually a thing.
They thought wrong.
This dumbass idea assumes a single person and NOT a group of people are responsible for scalping tickets, when in actuality this will just drive up scalping prices.
You fucking morons.
What a relief. As long as we are all tracked at all times by both government and corporations, we can finally be free of the burden of ticket scalping. It’s a small price to pay for this great reward. I think we can turn our attention toward solving other oppressive plagues like Jay walking and double parking now.
You can’t solve scalping when its a core function of LiveNation’s ecosystem. Scalping is the business model.
Weird how so many techbro ideas boil down to registering your identification with the tech oligarchs…
Why shouldn’t we use biometrics for security?
Because you can’t change them once they are compromised. It breaks so many rules for security it isn’t funny.
Why are companies/government pushing for this?
It is not about security, it is about tracking. This is the opposite of security and if we continue to allow it we will have severe consequences in our future.
Every time work pushes to use 100% biometrics I have to argue and get an exception.
I’ve got form of eczema where two to four times a year all the skin on my hands flakes and falls off… There are weeks when I have no fingerprints.
They’ve only brought up facial recognition once and I said it didn’t work reliably due to my skin color and facial hair. I have no idea if that’s true, never tried it, never will, but they didn’t pursue it any further.
I always enjoy throwing out the “if you force that, there will be about two months a year where I won’t be able to login… That’s up to you, but you have to document it so I can forward it to my manager and make them aware”. Unfortunately they haven’t forced it yet.
Dishydrosis?
That’s the one. Are you a fellow lizard person that sheds your skin regularly like me?
Yes :( cursed to be a lesbian with scaly fingers
Doh : (
At least we have a valid excuse for not adopting fingerprint biometrics… Minor bright side, I guess.
You know what could solve ticket scalping? Ban ticket resales. That’s always been an option. Venues don’t do this because their only concern is selling out their seats.
they should just ban it for a profit, you should be able to resell tickets for what you paid for them, plans change.
I think that second thing is just called a refund.
that’s a bit harder if it’s sold out and you want to sell your ticket to your friend/coworker at cost.
It is harder if you want to resell it yourself, but that is the whole point. The right to resell a piece of paper or a code that lets you into a venue is the means by which scalpers ply their arbitrage.
It just makes more sense to allow people to have the venue refund them. Then suddenly it’s not sold out anymore.
Or control the prices so people don’t overpay.
They already do that to a degree. The problem is that scalpers buy up all the tickets and then over charge people on the secondary market.
Secondary market? Like what?
Scalping is reselling goods on the secondary market for more than you bought them at the source?
