Facebooks facial recognition software is now as accurate as the human brain but what now?
2014-03-19 18:38:15| Extremetech

The end goal of DeepFace we can only guess at, but it's probably tracking your face across the entirety of the web, and in real life, as you move from shop to shop, producing some very lucrative behavioral tracking data indeed.

Backers of the research also say using the material could save millions of gallons of fresh water and keep chemicals out of aquatic ecosystems. But can people get past the "yuck" factor? "There is a yuck factor," said Gabrielle Pecora, who is managing the project on the Nicasio ranch of John Wick, as she stood near a pile of what looked like...
