Zoom Partners With Sam Altman's Iris-Scanning Company To Offer Callers Verifications of Humanness

Zoom "has partnered with World, Sam Altman's iris-scanning identity company (previously known as Worldcoin), " reports Digital Trends, "to add real-time human verification inside meetings."

Zoom is now inviting organizations to join the beta version of the rollout, which Digital Trends says "lets hosts confirm that every face on the call belongs to a real person, not an AI-generated imposter. "

For those wondering how World's Deep Face technology works, it includes a three-step process. It cross-references a signed image from a user's original Orb registration, a live face scan from the device, and the frame of the video that's visible to the other participants in the meeting. Only when the three samples match does a "Verified Human" badge appear next to the user's name...

Hosts can also make Deep Face verification mandatory for joining meetings, preventing unverified participants from joining entirely. Mid-call, on-the-spot checks are also possible...

'Steunpakket': ALCOHOL DUURDER

Een biertje kost nu 1 miljard

Het is helemaal niet leuk (en niet nodig) te wachten op officiële aankondigingen van een kabinet-Boeien, want het lekt toch altijd uit, omdat iedereen van media tot politiek bij elkaar op schoot zit, en iedereen ligt bij elkaar in bed. De T. krijgt dit en de NOS krijgt dat en het AD krijgt zus en de Volkskrant krijgt zo en nu weten we dus al dat het IRANMAATREGELENPAKKET zal gaan over: een hogere reiskostenvergoeding voor werknemers, halvering motorrijtuigenbelasting grijze kentekens, motorrijtuigenbelasting vrachtwagens naar 0 procent + hier en daar een boel groene subsidie. Dat wist u al want dat was al uitgelekt, maar omdat 1 miljard euro niet bij Eelco Heinen op de rug groeit is nu ook uitgelekt wat duurder zal worden om die andere dingen goedkoper te maken. Voor niets komt immers de zon op, maar het kijken naar die zonsopgang met een pilsje in uw vuist kost straks nog meer dan niets: alcohol duurder, startersaftrek afgeschaft, kleinschaligheidsinvesteringsaftrek versober. Lang verhaal kort: peut nog steeds teringduur en voorts heel erg boos over duurdere alcohol.

Home Office could face hundreds of claims over asylum families in single rooms

Judge in case of two families housed for years in single hotel rooms says they should have been moved within three months

The Home Office could face legal action from hundreds of asylum-seeking families stuck in single rooms in hotels after a judge criticised the “extraordinarily stressful” conditions in which they are expected to live.

In a ruling, the deputy high court judge Alan Bates questioned why two families had been forced to live in single rooms for more than three years. He said they should have been moved to alternative accommodation within three months.

Starmer expected to lead Labour into next election, says minister, but warns there are ‘no certainties’ amid Mandelson scandal – UK politics live

Douglas Alexander defends PM ahead of Commons showdown over Mandelson scandal

David Lammy, the deputy PM and justice secretary who was foreign secretary when Peter Mandelson was made ambassador to the US, has said that he was never told that Mandelson failed the security vetting interview. Mandelson’s was only technically approved because Olly Robbins, the head of Foreign Office, exercised his discretion to ignore the recommendation from the people doing the vetting.

Lammy gave his account of this in an interview with Pippa Crerar.

The problem ultimately is caused by the prime minister choosing an ambassador with a known integrity problem. Everybody understood that about Peter Mandelson, if you look at his past record.

I’m not criticising his abilities, but as the talisman for New Labour, he had a very dodgy series of relationships. We won’t go into that. So there should have been, the prime minister should have thought through before announcing the appointment how he was going to manage that aspect of choosing Mandelson.
