That's better than an average person can do.

All I’m saying is a breach of Panera would not leak biometric data. This is just an integration into an existing platform.

Reply to The RESTRICT Act: A Potential New Enforcement Tool to Address Economic and National Security Concerns Posed by Foreign Information and Communications Technologies by AlphaWolfDesign
Gonna be really funny when EU countries get the idea to ban Meta and Twitter and the like because, since they are based in a country (America) with terrible laws around privacy and personal data collection, they pose unacceptable risks to EU citizens/national security.

Biometric data shouldn’t be treated as trivial data.

I like the service for what it is, so I will still use it for what it is. I don't particularly remember or care what their marketing was. I judge it by the value it brings me today.

That's a misleading title (of the article, I know you used it verbatim).
It's more likely to be used to suppress free speech than improve security.

Not even a phone number. You scan the little card on your keychain or phone. Just as fast as your hand. Fuck this.

The comparison to neurons is flawed, and it’s one of the main reasons why this debate is even happening.
Chat-bots do not understand or comprehend. They are physically incapable of non-linear thinking, and increased amounts of data won’t change that; it’s a function of their underlying architecture. They don’t have neurons, nor do they have anything even functionally close. They absolutely do not innovate; they just iterate to a point that fools some humans.
If you consider yourself a writer, then you know that comprehension and empathy are vital to decent writing. Until such time as a computer can experience those (which – to be completely clear – is fundamentally impossible for as long as it’s being built according to modern computing principles), it won’t be able to match anything offered by someone who already does.
Put bluntly, it isn’t doing anything impressive; it’s revealing that the stuff being thrown at it is less complex or reason-based than we have assumed.
Edit: Here’s a great example.

Panera Bread can fuck right off. Their food is shit and this is a shit idea. Panera used to be good, but since they got bought out they've become a data harvesting company that uses "food" as bait.

Congrats, you bought into their marketing strategy. Remember when they used to argue rideshares would take cars off the road and reduce emissions through carpooling? People don't even remember why it's called ride-sharing in the first place. They basically lied in order to take over an industry using billionaire funds.

Great. Futurama was right, we’re going to get ads for light speed briefs in our dreams now.

This and also useless restrictions for businesses like having to show messages "you're about to read a text that may influence your opinions. Do you want to proceed?".
