Take my thousand Dollahs .. I need face recognition!! http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/005/574/takemymoney.jpg
Chinese laptops sell you this as part of the package. However, besides not activating it I have PHYSICALLY blocked the webcam “eye”
My guess is that its part of the biometric mapping of the worlds population , this device will not only scan the owners face but the face of anyone in close proximity. And most likely crossreferenced with data from the web like facebook , google etc. Somewhere down the line “the list” is complete and fed into the new automated policeforce robots that is being developed somewhere. Then our so called leaders will introduce a groundbraking new way of law and order called “comply or die”. The justice system of the future… gosh , Im just a regular ray of sunshine today.
What a pity that plastic surgery clinic down in Bariloche has closed. Or maybe it has just moved…
@Central Scutinizer The Robots are being made by Boston Dynamics, the face recognition scanning system will soon be installed in ‘police cameras’ to help hunt down those terrorists.. or anyone the govt wants to hunt down and kill.. OR.. it will be installed into billboards and will indeed cross reference facebook accounts internet histories and general trends to provide you with a personal Advertisement!!
(I hope they dont get a hold of MY internet browsing history……(shudder).. the adverts would NOT be safe.. muahaha.)
I don’t think it has so much to do with boring old facial recognition as much as it has to do with facial transformation, viz, mapping a face so that it can be better incorporated into an avatar (remember those ?) which can then be morphed into some hic et nunc 3D or 4D personality projection; kind of like building the astral body, or uniting the ka and ba in Egyptian funeral rites…or even as a means of creating doppelgangers and psychopomps. And being proprietory software this might mean that you end up with someone else ‘owning’ your face…
I was thinking the other day about the “magical” consequences of one’s image being all over the Internet and in a lot of different storage places. Part of this story is whether an image of a person has some kind of magical significance, perhaps like a voodoo doll is a representation of a person. Combine image with some DNA (via the various DNA capture programmes) and do we have a kind of image-DNA voodoo doll? If this is now spread far and wide, what does this mean? Do we as the “captured” become dispersed as our image-DNA is dispersed? A way of disempowering us? Just my vague musings, I don’t know much about magic, sigils and voodoo…
It’s an analogical process…remember Tertullian Africanus and the doctrine of Traducianism. The Gnostics believed that man was filled, not with God’s breath, but filled with the Image of God via the Mind (Nous)
Excellent point, like all person-related information it could be draining or energizing. So-called primitive peoples have always baulked against having their photo taken, seen as having your soul stolen. My H.O.S. is that in general terms you could “charge” those little pictures of yourself “out in the aether” to restore harmonic balance…
Check out a movie called “I Origins” (2014)

Should you get to watch the movie .. when it ends and they are scrolling thru the cast and crew … keep watching .. The REAL kicker is right .. right .. at the end ..
It puts a whole NEW slant on what this biometric agenda may actually be ..
