Friends don't let friends get their eyeballs scanned to buy a coffee.
This portable dystopia machine is Tools for Humanity's latest effort to live up to their Orwellian name.
Connoisseurs of the AI-will-end-humanity marketing hype train of a few years ago should find plenty to appreciate in an eyeball scanner framed as as a 'helpful' tool to distinguish between AI agents & humans.
Or is it for that? Or maybe point of sale? Or nebulous 'verification?'
The only clear thing? This device starts from a point of biometric #privacy invasion.
It sure looks to me like another effort by the company Sam Altman founded to make a global data-grab.
Just say no.

Abso-*******-lutely no way
I thought facial recognition would the last #privacy-invasive software accepted by modern society at least for this century, but THIS?
eyeball/retinal-esque scan for mobile human verification was not something I foresaw happening in my lifetime.
What next? DNA bodily fluid extraction via blood, saliva, etc?
Crazy times.
