There are myriad positive applications of facial recognition. My iPhone uses it to categorize people by faces and can make me a video just of my daughter. An app I have can actually make a time lapse where all the photos have been registere

If it’s made by the company making the messaging app, it will be pixel perfect, and will only take a few seconds to make instead of a few hours. And if you create one for a date in the past they can use the UI they had at that time.

Nah, the COO can’t really say “no” the way the CEO can to all the execs and their pet projects for their personal agenda.

Ouch. This is an incredible man who is a bad choice of CEO. CEO is fundamentally an execution-oriented, anti-creative role. Bezos know this and it implies that 1) He’s going to CEO this himself 2) He wants this intiative to fail
