Turns out the loudest voices demanding you scan your ID to use AI are funded by… OpenAI. And Sam Altman just happens to own an age-verification company. Funny how that works. Reject state-mandated digital papers. #NoAgeVerification #PrivacyOverControl #NoKosa

What happened with that uber-dystopic retina-scanning Orb BS that he was forcing on the less-advantaged people in the world?

@debby That, and Meta and Palantir. The biggest sleazebags on the planet are coming for our identities.

@debby oh, so I need to scan my ID to use AI. This isn’t going to go the way they want.
Show threadDebby ‬⁂📎🐧10h ago

@mauvedeity It's all about control and data monetization. They want your ID to track and sell your data.

Why not push for local AI solutions? Local models can be just as effective without the privacy risks. #NoIDForAI

@debby I don’t really want any AI solutions. So if the price of using something I don’t want is something that I don’t want to do, there we are then.

@mauvedeity 😄 Definitely a solution!
