Persona isn’t just an id upload. It’s also face scan by video.

So a fake ID but using your face?

How would they know? Does the US government expose their database to private businesses? I always wondered how these things work.

I normally run away from these ID checks. It’s just a matter of time until lone of these databases with everyone passports and videos get hacked. And vibe coding only makes it more likely.

I don’t care how good Claude is, it’s not good enough for that kind of risk.

Surprised there isn't a "Fake Face" market like a mannequin face delivered to your door.

The latest ones make you smile, shut eyes / wink, look up, down, etc. plus for Apple they use the lidar and the IR camera for heat.

Not everyone has a device that can use lidar to map the face so it can’t be a requirement.

Kids have been defeating these smile and close your eyes things using photo mode in video games to control a character to perform the actions.
