By all means, you are the problem, stop trying to solve things no one based you to.
Is there any evidence anal prints are also unique? I want to start an AI company but it stands for Anal Inspections.

So you in or what? I’m going to the bank looking for VC funding tomorrow morning!
Maybe my last PII that’s secure.
Sadly, mine’s been on the internet for decades now.
um…
How about you just restrict ticket sales to 1-2 per person and require it to be tied to a name on sale which is verified on use and cannot be easily changed? That’s all you need to do.
No, I don’t want random companies to have my legal name, I reserve the right to be anonymous both online and offline
do you pay cash for everything?
Whenever possible, yes. Unless I don’t have cash with me, then I may sacrifice.
For online purchases I need to give my address anyway and name so I can pick the package so there’s no way around it.
Whenever possible I always use a random fake name if really required to fill a name form.
For online purchases I need to give my address anyway and name so I can pick the package so there’s no way around it.
well, yeah, that’s what we are talking about here. online purchases that require anti-bot procedures.
Scam Altman: “Oh no - the bots are 2 good. Gaze into my black hole pls”
Scam Altman: Literally gave birth to the bot technology.
Gaze into my black hole pls
Well that could be misconstrued
I haven’t seen Goatse in many years, and I didn’t need that memory back.
Are the orbs gonna shoot a laser beam that disintegrates the CEO of Ticketmaster?
I’m never going to a concert again
I’m going to support local anti-authoritarian punk and hip hop until they do away with this.
Support them after as well!
You know what could solve ticket scalping? Ban ticket resales. That’s always been an option. Venues don’t do this because their only concern is selling out their seats.
How would you do this without verification? How do you still allow gift tickets or buying for a friend?
Tickets are issued to a name and are confirmed at entry with photo ID, just like with an airline ticket.
not much better than eye scanning.
also does not solve the gifting problem, because normally you don’t know the ID of your friends
You only need to know their names. Their ID matches their names to their faces.
Or control the prices so people don’t overpay.
TicketSwap does this and works with the venues I think.
They already do that to a degree. The problem is that scalpers buy up all the tickets and then over charge people on the secondary market.
Secondary market? Like what?
Just as long as I can get a full refund if I’m unable to attend anymore. Maybe up to an hour before or something.
they should just ban it for a profit, you should be able to resell tickets for what you paid for them, plans change.
I think that second thing is just called a refund.
that’s a bit harder if it’s sold out and you want to sell your ticket to your friend/coworker at cost.
The better to opress you with, my dear…biometric tracking everywhere for everything. We let them put microphones, cameras and location tracking, facial recognition in everything and everywhere, we might end up having to use LLMs as the interface to everything capturing voice, speech patterns, thought patterns…why the fuck not eyes, dna, fingerprints (wait, we already did that one)…
(1) Offer a solution which exacerbates bot-traffic on the internet, (2) legitimize the need for verification of users as a result, (3) offer the most privacy-invasive “solution” to the “problem” imaginable: problem(1)-reaction(2)-solution(3)… every parasite’s favorite paradigm :)
Welcome to Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, because this is an idea pulled straight from that game.
The day I have to give some billionaire creep my biometrics to go to a show is the same day I decide I’m never going to a show again
I try not to trust anything that has the name “Sam Altman” attached to it.
You can’t solve scalping when its a core function of LiveNation’s ecosystem. Scalping is the business model.
I don’t think even Sam Altman thinks this. He’s saying it, sure. He’s a liar.
Ahhh. Ticket scalping. The real issue of today’s generation that no one is courageous enough to talk about.
I mean, it is AN issue. We can do more than one thing at a time
