RE: The Future Of The Workplace: Using Facial Recognition To Scan For Smiles

in #news6 years ago

This is pretty creepy, but the responses from actual people are far more creepy. First let's look at some direct quotes from the article:

"workers wear headgear, equipped with brain-monitoring EEG sensors, to try and assess the moods of employees when they are at work." (employers monitoring the brains/minds and moods of employees)

"The technology is ultimately going to measure the smile and assign some smiley face points based on how happy or sad the employee looks." (Your entire human being full of the intricacies of human experience will be reduced to smiley face points based on how happy or sad you look)

"If they continually scan their face with a frown, they might be approached by management about why they aren't smiling enough... a smile is demanded from the employee before they clock-in" (That's right, a smile is demanded! I wonder how long before people get fired for not smiling enough. No matter what's going on in your life, issues with family, relationship, friends, work, money, none of that matters because your employee demands(!) that you smile bitch!)

"Aside from using AI and facial recognition software etc, to try and monitor the employees' emotions or mood, there are also companies now that have started implanting microchips into their employees." (Yeah that's right, not only will your every movement and facial expression and brain wave activity be monitored but you will also be microchipped like a pet. By your employer. For a job.)

And now let's look at the really scary part, peoples actual responses to this information from this post only:

"Nice information thanks"
"hopefully through science you can get to understand the human being. excellent post dear friend"
"This was great if it could be done"
"The technology is so advanced that I think that if this is going to work we hope and it will be as soon as possible, in order to have better control, it is a good information"
"this information is great we hope and it works as soon as possible"

Aldous Huxley said: “There will be, in the next generation or so, a pharmacological method of making people love their servitude, and producing dictatorship without tears, so to speak, producing a kind of painless concentration camp for entire societies, so that people will in fact have their liberties taken away from them, but will rather enjoy it, because they will be distracted from any desire to rebel by propaganda or brainwashing, or brainwashing enhanced by pharmacological methods. And this seems to be the final revolution”
