404 Media previously reported kids said they were using photos of Trump and G-Man from Half Life to bypass the age verification software in the popular VR game Gorilla Tag. That game uses the service k–ID, which is the same as what Discord is using.
Lmao I didn’t had “bypassing corpo surveillance with a vtuber software” on my 2026 bingo
Have they learned nothing since people used screenshots of death stranding the first this technology was used on a major platform?
If it works with such basic 3d models then what is stopping people from using an ai generated or stolen picture?
Kinda makes me think the goal is not to keep kids safe, its to avoid accountability when kids end up not being safe.
It was not screenshots. The entire point of the Death Stranding thing was that you had a live camera feed of a face that passes the “liveliness” checks that prevent you from using static pictures.
Oh that detail is a TIL
Cool that it is possible but I rather ditch Discord when this is forced upon me.
Did these people forget Vtubers exist? Using a camera/Vr goggles to map one face to another? It’s just going to need a phone app, a good 3d model and shader generator, and a big screen and you can be whoever you want.
Even faster if they use AI filters.
The…sims? We are fighting this rot with the sims basically?
That‘s honestly less surprising or impressive than people using Death Stranding for that.
Alright. But how do we stop the AI spyware from constantly monitoring our activity?
Might not be an issue for me since I’m using the flatpak of Vesktop, but getting all my none-technical friends to move away from Discord will be pain.
