- gridlockd 6y agoWhat "tracking" or "GPU abuse" do you expect this API to bring to the browser, that isn't already enabled by existing APIs?
- anaganisk 6y agoThe sad part is it will be used for more focused targeting, rather than for benefit, we have people abusing Canvas and audio context. I dont want companies to timestamp me by my face, to prove I like their content, or a dumb captcha API that decided im not a human because I'm darker. No please.
- gridlockd 6y agoThis API does not implicitly give access to the camera or photos. The things that you are concerned about are already possible by doing the NN part server-side, or less efficently in software. If anything, keeping the NN part on the client allows for more privacy, not less.
- kzzzznot 6y agoNot saying I agree or disagree with gp’s sentiment, but perhaps section 2.1.1 > The application is watching whether she is in front of her PC by using object detection
- gridlockd 6y agoYou can already do that with Javascript, it is just less efficient than using the hardware meant to accelerate NNs.
