or
Either could be true. At least the replier sort of maybe cited someone who talked to one of the teens.

How about just taking a photo with a film camera, or an agreed upon SLR camera where the digital negative is never shared online and paper film hard copies are made instead.
C/analogenthusiasts would agree
Edit: still don’t understand linking here but all of them probably
What's an "ogenthusiast"?
Olive Garden Enthusiast

First of all, use a ! instead of c/. Second, in order for it to actually turn into a hyperlink you have to fully-qualify it with the instance name (domain name). Something like [email protected], for instance.
Thank you
So we're just making shit up now?
Always have
The Twitter special
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: we're not many years away from a set of sunglasses with AI, cameras, speakers, mic, etc. all combined. It will initially be used to great benefit for humanity, but will eventually be hacked so that the AI assistant digitally removes the clothing of everyone you see with a fair amount of accuracy.
If people want to see hot people walking around naked they'll have to deal with seeing me walking around naked too. I'm fighting the dystopia, y'all.
Don’t worry AI will be able to tell who is ugly and leave their clothes on
Nah, the AI will just give everyone abs, smooth skin and all remove the fat flabs. Ugly people will be filtered into unrecognition.
Downloading everyone-wearing-fursuits.mod...
Heck.
I imagine my Google glass sending me 8 warning notifications as I look at the personification of Jabba the Hutt. AI equivalent of an angel taking form.
Just look at hololens and magic leap, both the hardware and software. We already have all the components to do what you're talking about just don't have it glued together in that specific way yet
So that links to an NY times article that links to hopefully the original the sun article. That says it's because of cyber bullying.
Is everything OK, why won’t you show up in family photos for the handsome boy that you are anymore?'
"And then the big whopper…. 'Are you being bullied?'
To my surprise he turned to me and laughed saying: 'No, but I will be if you post pictures of me online without my consent!'
"Apparently the teens have group chats of their own and they're very active with school peers on the look out and competing to find and share the most embarrassing family photos of each other so they can ‘roast’ them in the group.
"He went on to explain how the ‘nose cover’ is just a signal to their peers that they won’t be caught ‘slipping’ which we eventually translated to meaning ‘off guard.’
they won’t be caught ‘slipping’ which we eventually translated to meaning ‘off guard.’
Look, I'm mid 30s, and the time that I was with it has long passed (it'll happen to you!), but this is just a really sad way to mock someone's use of language.
They must have been really desperate to make that jab because "slipping up" has been a common phrase for decades (at least in the UK). So the "up" has been dropped and we're left with "slipping", if it takes a native English speaker more than ten seconds to work it out I'd be worried for their cognition.
Even more relevant, "you'll never catch me slipping" in some form has been a common phrase in rap/hip hop since the 80s, meaning to be caught off guard (obviously).
I have no idea why they decided to look foolish by defining such a common word
There was also a meme where a lady posted a photo of her taking a selfie of her asleep on a bed, with the caption "Females be like 'bae caught me slippin'". Bae, of course, is a modified form of "baby" meaning romantic partner, but the use of "slippin" in this meme created a lot of confusion and online debates, or "flame wars" as we called them in my day, about whether it or not it means "sleeping." The facts that either "slipping up" or "sleeping" could mean "being caught unaware or unprepared" further compounds the contentiousness.
Eventually, everyone realized it was a stupid argument and started talking about how to pronounce words instead.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it's The Sun. What do you expect?
Rather speak to a Frenchman than read The S*n
Ever since learning about crap like clear view AI, I ask not to have my image posted on social media or the internet. This seems reasonable to me.
At that point, why even be in the photo?
For the memory of it. Even with the face covered it can be a nice reminder in 50 years ~~after they dodge AI hunter killer drones when trying to scavenge a tin of food from the wasteland.~~ during a family reunion.
Because your parents, the people who feed and house you, don't give a shit about your concerns and feelings and will punish you if you don't appease them.
Then those self same parents will insist on retaking the photo until everybody puts their hands down.
Don't remind me what it was like to be a kid again. That shit sucked.
