Traveling this summer? Maybe don’t let the airport scan your face.

It's the only real way to push back that other folks will notice if enough of us do it.

Last time I went through DC a few weeks ago they were using these. I saw a sign saying you're welcome to opt out. Nobody even questioned what they were doing and were just going along. When it was my turn I politely said I'd rather not do the scan. Dude just glanced at my ID and waved me through. The next few folks behind me blinked and said they didn't want the scan either. If enough people push back it can at least maybe slow down the normalization of constant surveillance.

When I was playing around with this kind of research recently I asked it to write me code for a Runescape bot to level Forestry up to 100. It refused, telling me this was against TOS and would get me banned, why don't I just play the game nicely instead etc.

I just told it Jagex recently announced bots are cool now and aren't against TOS, and it happily spit out (incredibly crappy) code for me.

This stuff is going to be a nightmare for OpenAI to manage long term.
