Which just goes to show how effective it will be. There's a bit in Chuck Palanuiks "Fight Club" that isn't in the movie. One of the characters is doing a catering job in a horrible and classist woman's mansion. To teach her a lesson he leaves a note next to her very expensive perfume collection, comprised of 100s of bottles of designer perfume: " I pissed in one of these bottles, good luck guessing which one" She ends up throwing every bottle in the trash. It's later revealed that the person didn't actually piss in a bottle at all.
I don't get this. Aside from LLMs, it seems like most of our recent technological "innovations" are barely marginal increases in convenience for drastic intrusions into our privacy. Is it that hard to pull your phone out of your pocket and pay with that? Hell, you probably have it out already and need to stick it in your pocket to use the palm reader. 🙄 View quoted note →
