      Yes. He would really like you and the investors to know how good his fraud device is, but you have to promise not to use it to do crimes. Also, if you are afraid of his fraud device he would like to sell you fraud device protection.

    Voiceprinting as an identification for wealthy bank clients grew popular more than a decade ago, with customers typically asked to utter a challenge phrase into the phone to access their accounts.

    ha, I thought it was just a movie trope

    sometimes it feels like banks will use literally anything but recommended practices for multi-factor authentication

      Nope.

      Fuck TD. They enabled this horseshit automatically on my account. Surprise, surprise, it didnt work on my voice, even once.

      Supposedly they disabled it three times. Guess what else happened? Someone accessed my damn account, because it was their voice linked to my account.

      I’ll never have a TD account again. Absolute jackasses in terms of account security, that isn’t even the only issue I had with them.

      I wish. My bank has been trying to get me to do that shit for years when I call in.

      “YoUr VoIcE iS yOuR pAsSwOrD” - no, my fucking password is my password, and this voice print shit was an obvious security hole from day 1, which is why I always answered that I didn’t consent to their bullshit.

      Even ISPs do this where I am. You don’t have to utter anything specifically but if they detect your voice being drastically different from what they have on file, they’ll lock you out before you even talk to a real person. Not sure how I feel about it tbh

    Oh he seriously needs to shut up.

    He spends his entire time now telling everybody how a product, he is insisting on building, is going to kill us all.

    You would have thought that if you were building a doomsday bomb but didn’t want to die it’d be pretty easy to just stop building said bomb. But nope everyday he continues making it more and more destructive.

      the problem is “he” isn’t the only one building AI. If it wasn’t openAI it would have been someone else. And soon almost anyone with small business level of resources will be able to have an AI platform at their disposal.

      I’m not saying the guy is a paragon of virtue or anything, but a voice from within the industry should be valuable to get legislators on board to do something about it. Not that I have great faith in them either.

        Open AI started it though. They published the original research paper that made all of this possible.
