Default Russian in the path to cyberpunk

It appears that we finally are getting on with the total control projects shafted over 10 years ago, with automated facial/biometric recognition going into the public spaces (it is already deployed in Moscow, getting plugged into the domestic and public CCTV nets, with persons tracking.

^ why at all, don't they all use Facebook?


b.t.w. this is not cyberpunk, but total surveillance.

Total surveillance can be a part of cyber punk.

But yes, the idea is to introduce facial recognition/biometric person tracking to the meta data and data collection (СОРМ-3). Makes me wonder how they would process all the data they would need without outsourcing say to Amazon or someone else like that.

Ah, yes, POI...

It is interesting how technology shown in the series has come to pass. When the series first aired, it was considered to be science-fiction: a governmental surveillance system capable of monitoring the everyday activities of citizens, analyzing those activities, and determining which were threats to national security, a premise the shows creators viewed as a 'future' scenario. Then, just as the show first aired, came the disclosure of the NSA programs to monitor emails and other communications and sci-fi became actual fact...

Facial recognition on a large scale has already been tried; following 9/11, FR was used at some venues, like the Super Bowl, to mitigate chances of terrorist activity, but the results were mixed and the then existing systems had a high error rate. Even now, FR being used on consumer electronics have proven to be easily fooled and/or neutralized. What is of interest is the actual state of the FR technology we don't know about; is there actually a high-confidence FR system in some government lab somewhere? ...

"You are being watched..."...

We got some world leading companies in FR buisness.

One of them offers social network stalking serivice (ie you photo a girl, run her through the software and you get her social media accounts).

As to the total survailance, one of the core drivers is, ironically... battle against corruption.

This is probably old news, but I heard that face recognition software has a hard time with beards ...

Now the new Apple X has Face ID

http://www.zdnet.com/article/iphone-...pple-explains/

Quote:
there's a one in a million chance someone else could look at your iPhone X and unlock it. That's 20 times less likely than for Touch ID.

Apple says the probability of a false match is different for twins, and for kids under 13 years old, whose distinctive facial features aren't fully developed.

The Face ID enrollment relies on an image of the person's face at a single point in time, which, like Touch ID's fingerprint capture, is stored as a mathematical representation in the device's secure enclave. However, Face ID also relies on a neural network to build on this representation of the owner's face using facial data from some login attempts.
