What is the actionable advice here?
Go the technical route and develop countermeasures to facial recognition? And then play the cat mouse game of counter-counter measures, and making counter-counter-counter measures to those counter-counter measures until the facial recognition is as good as humans? Then what?
Or do we go the political route and try to affect legislation? What I’ve learned from reducing climate change is that politicians only listen to you if you represent a group of people. Building coalition’s are a must for any kind of political change. We do build them, for tech people, on HN by posting articles against facial recognition. The thing we’re missing here is a way to organize collective action. But I think YC would want to avoid the kind of attention that would generate, so I think the site is designed against incentivizing that.
