Sorry, you feel this way, mate, but matters of "believe" are between you and your priest.

As for the "overall impressions", It is usually recommended to try something first and then form an impression. Otherwise, it's just an opinion

You know, I was very interested to hear how you’d respond, thinking you’d surely have substantive counterpoints or address the core argument.

This is probably the worst response possible, and makes me believe GP is correct, because you don’t have any real response to their critiques.

That’s not how this works. You’re claiming an incredible breakthrough: extremely high facial recognition accuracy using 2D input in an adversarial setting. Extraordinary claims require evidence.

As I've mentioned earlier, we will be publishing in-depth results soon. Meanwhile, you can read here the review of public datasets https://medium.com/xix-ai/quantifying-the-inherent-bias-in-m... Overview on adversarial examples is below. The upcoming post will cover the approach, performance and comparison. Stay tuned

Will this upcoming post address the storage and privacy concerns that were the main point of the GP?

I'm flabbergasted that any founder would respond like this.

A lot of people who would have given you the benefit of the doubt just got the opposite impression of your company after reading this response.

How can I try out seeing what exactly you store of the videos your receive to form an opinion?

Also how can I try out what happens when you get subpoenaed by a government for facial data of specific users or all users?

This is not something an individual can just form an impression on by themselves. It would take a large sample of people.
