The ESRB has added:
“To be perfectly clear: Any images and data used for this process are never stored, used for AI training, used for marketing, or shared with anyone; the only piece of information that is communicated to the company requesting VPC is a “Yes” or “No” determination as to whether the person is over the age of 25.”
Sure, ok…
I don’t know what else to say about this, this will obviously turn into something else.
Yet another reason why DRM is bad and only punishes those who buy the product
yarrrrrr
They’re afeared of guillotines. If you put everyone under surveillance it gets much harder to build them.
Can I vote for a Guillotine Party candidate?
Pay: ESRB facial recognition + Denuvo system monitor + custom launcher with system privileges + game
Pirate: game
This type of stuff only punishes paying customers.
Step 1: Print a photo of your dad.
Step 2: Hold it up to the camera.
Step 3: Play Resident Evil 7.
Lol too bad facial recognition doesn’t work like that
From the description, it sounds like you upload a picture, then show a face to a video camera. It’s not like they’re going through FaceID that has anti-spoofing hardware and software. If they’re supporting normal web cams, they can’t check for things like 3d markers
Based on applications that have rolled out for use cases like police identifying suspects, I would hazard a guess that
- It’s not going to work as well as they imply
- It’s going to perform comically badly in a multi-ethnic real world scenario with unfortunate headlines following
- It will be spoofable.
I’m betting this will turn out to be a massive waste of resources, but that never stopped something from being adopted. Even the cops had to be banned by several municipalities because they liked being able to identify and catch suspects, even if it was likely to be the wrong person. In one scenario I read about, researchers had to demonstrate that the software the PD was using identified several prominent local politicians as robbery and murder suspects.
Except all the times it has.
When there’s only one camera that’s often been the way it has worked
Maybe 5 years ago, but not (usually) any more
So it does, in at least some cases, work like that?
It’s ok to admit being wrong
Yes, it does work like that in some cases. My comment is technically wrong, the best kind of wrong.
As another commenter pointed out, the way they intend to do it sounds absolutely like they are going to do it the old way, which surprises me because the hold up a photo thing has been a solved problem for a while.
Plaster sculpt, then add fake skin to, and add a small linear actuator for breathing stimulation, small twitch motors under the skin, and run it under some alternating leds to stimulate blood flow coloration. Should defeat almost all facial recognition software. Might need some eye fakes.
Or just wear makeup to an insane degree. Or return to the forests and live a much happier life.
TI would be every dollar I’ve ever made that you know absolutely nothing about how it works. You seem like someone who is barely technically proficient and likes to pretend like that means they know how things work.
I’m a software engineer and can confirm that you are absolutely fucking wrong on this one.
I’m a software engineer and I work in machine vision hardware. I may have been lazy with my response, but I do know what I’m talking about. On some level I’m probably in a bubble because I work close enough to the cutting edge of things that I wouldn’t expect any modern company to be employing such basic algorithms to a solved problem.
I’m a software engineer and I can confirm that you are absolutely fucking rude on this one.
Drink verification can.
Any images and data used for this process are never stored
Anyone who believes this deserves it.
Since it determines if you’re over the age of 25, maybe instead they could get a more accurate measure by having you drink a verification beer.
I don’t think the day before your 18th/25th birthday and the day on your 18th birthday your face looks so much different.
this is just another means of spying.
Finally a use for all those Obama masks
Thanks Obama!

I’d have a hard time coming up with a better lie than this.
Can anybody actually remember voting for totalitarian control freaks who seem to be scared of people who are not under constant surveillance?
Everyone who votes Republican votes for this.
While true, unfortunately the latest government spy bill is bipartisan. It will make end to end encryption for texts and chat illegal, using drug enforcement as the excuse.
Nearly a quarter of Americans say that a strong leader who doesn’t have to bother with Congress or elections would be “fairly” or “very good” and 18 percent say that “army rule” would be “fairly” or “very good.” More than a quarter of respondents show at least some support for either a “strong leader” or “army rule.”

A disturbing minority of human beings unironically prefer being under a boot.
Can people who stop trying to throw tech at things where it clearly doesn’t belong? Seems like every time I turn around people are trying to use AI for things with the expectation that it’s some flawless innovation that can do no wrong.
And that’s not even getting into the privacy nightmare that comes with things like this
we won’t ever ever keep your pictures and stuff for the juiciest possible marketing fodder, we super duper pinky swear
All I see is one more reason to turn to piracy
The same esrb that is almost irrelevant? That esrb?
I’ll either avoid buying anything with this tech or pirate it. I want this idea to be 6 foot under as soon as possible.
