Oh, people didn’t like the idea of giving their ID to third parties? Let’s move up to irreplaceable body parts. Next step: your fucking blood. Good luck declaring that one stolen when the database inevitably leaks.
That reminds me of my ex, she was willing to give her physical address and phone number to anyone who asked, but not her email address, because of security concerns.
The Match Group-owned platform is partnering with World, the identity verification project by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, to introduce a system that uses iris scans to confirm a person is human.
🤮
You want some fuk? Give us you biometric data!
😏
As soon as it mentioned eye scanning I assumed Sam Altman was involved. Didn’t he have that world coin thing where he scanned a bunch of eyes in impoverished countries?
IIRC altman stiffed the Brazillians who scanned their irises in his scam, never paid a dime
Well that was a quick decision to delete my account
In 6 months chatgpt 37.5 bots will now be able to recreate human irises
They give you the poison to sell you the cure.
Maybe it is finally time for open-source(ish) dating to make an impact!
(It won’t. I tried it a couple years back and it is a ghost town!)
It’s probably a Goldilocks zone thing where too few prevents it from working, and too many will inevitably be overrun by bots and scanners.
The writing on the wall says this will be required to access anything on the internet. I’ll go a step farther and say, DNA will be required to access the internet. Only once life would be impossible to live without access. Getting closer and closer.
“Let’s partner with a bot maker to prevents bots. This is not about collecting and selling user data. No, not at all” 🙄😑
All they had to do was improve their facial recognition to scan all photos. Scammers would use fake photos and put their real photo (ai edited slightly) as the their last photo. This allowed them to get verified, but still scam. They don’t need more biometrics. Other apps are doing fine without your iris scans.
Yeah but then they wouldn’t get to collect people’s biometric data to sell to the highest bidder.
From what I’ve read, the “dating” meat market apps are doing horrible. I doubt they want to invest in a sinking ship, at least more than they have to.
In the context of online dating, I actually agree with implementing the same level of KYC checks that banks and credit card issuers have adopted. I also think the FTC needs to step in and break up the monopoly Match Group has created.
All of these platforms are littered with fake profiles, scammers and foreign women searching for the means to a green card. It’s made them practically unusable.

If that’s a serious question, 34/M/Bristol.
What if I train a generative AI on thousands of images of iris’s and start generating fake ones?
OpenAI is the one running this “verification”. That’s exactly what they’ll be doing with the data
Gee I wonder where one might get a database full of iris scans?
There’s gotta bee a good enough example set somewhere for research already
Haven’t used Tinder in a few years, but I guess I won’t be using it in the future. I’m not scanning my eye to use what is arguably the worst dating app.
Also in Minority Report, they do the whole eye scanning thing.
It’s Tinder; shouldn’t it be scan bobs and vagene?
or the peen.
“The app said scan my eye. It was non-specific as to which”
hey, you can’t make bot profiles! that’s our thing!
Why are they so insistant of iris scans? What are they getting out of it?
Data to sell
make the AIs better by scanning thousands of human eyes lol
Because it’s “futuristic” and fascists are obsessed with that image
No, it is because it is a unique identifier for them to collect and sell.
You know it’s most likely not an either/or thing. It’s most likely both.
Fascists are very obsessed with image. It’s a big chunk of why the Nazis hired Hugo Voss to design the SS uniforms
Fair enough.
Could be unique like a fingerprint. Might be able to crosscheck this with other biometric data, like when a picture is taken at airports or border crossings.

Those fast track lines at the airport I recently read somewhere is supplied by a private entity, which means all those face scans are just added into a database for future surveillance.
You can say no to the face scan at those. The TSA agents don’t get paid enough to try to convince you otherwise and just say “okay.” The amount of people just willingly scanning their faces for whatever nefarious bullshit they want to scan faces for does not surprise me, but does cause me dismay
To keep people without eyes off their platform.
I didn’t realize there were still real people that use Tinder. I thought it was all bots by this point.
It was a spam bot swarm a decade ago.
I checked again around 2023, then it was full of human backed fake profiles that pushed cryptocoin scams. It’s called pig butchering.
Today I assume it’s still pog butchering but backed by LLMs instead of people.
pog butchering
Pogs are back? Finally, my investment will pay off!
PogChamp
I think I was last on it pre-pandemic and, yeah, it was a bot fest. The profiles that appeared to be legit humans weren’t all that impressive either.
I can’t imagine going back. Unless I pivot careers to crypto scammer.
