New App Allows Identification Of Individuals Using Phone Photo

Technology is democratizing:

A facial recognition app that can identify strangers from a photograph has been created by a British entrepreneur.

Facezam can identify people by matching a photo of them with their Facebook profile. All users have to do is take a picture of someone on the street and run it through the app, which will tell them who it thinks the person in the photo is.

What is interesting is that many capabilities that just a few years back were the exclusive province of government spookdom are now available to individuals for very little cost. From GPS trackers to covert mobile video and audio, to remote monitoring tech, to real time facial recognition now, the average person is increasingly able to do things that just a few years back would have been of questionable existence as a government capability. Even the CIAs hacking arsenal is now open source. Eventually I expect thru-wall video capability of some form and mic arrays that can pic up sounds in houses nearby, to be on eBay for negligible cost.

As people begin realizing how much these devices are being used, they will use them too, and soon everyone will be spying on their neighbors, if for no better reason than to figure out which neighbors are spying on them.

Privacy is increasingly dead, and that will fray the bonds of civilization. I would not expect that to leave everyone in a peaceful mood when the Apocalypse hits. It will not only be a collapse, it will be a hostile collapse.

You cannot fight the tides of nature. The more you try to push r, the more K you get, and the more you try to control the populace, the more anarchy you will produce in the long run. All Yang contains the seeds of Yin, and all Yin contains the seeds of Yang.

Spread r/K Theory, because we want a wild K-shift
