Since the post title length is limited on Hacker News, I had to make it less specific. So the real question is this:

I am talking about situations where you just joined a company and treated as the lowest person in the food chain. Old devs act like they can do whatever they want, even when they committed the exact same thing or much worse just a month ago, but suddenly you are told not to do it this because "we dont do things like that here.” Finding common patterns in code doesnt help because actual standards live in their heads.

It feels like a clear double standard culture, where the rules depend more on time you spend in company or seniority, and internal politics than on actual engineering principles or consistency. As a newbie, you are expected to follow unwritten rules that nobody clearly explains, while old time devs are allowed to ignore them.

How do you handle this kind of environment without constantly getting frustrated?

Also I dont understand why some devs when just being slightly higher in hierarchy treat other people that bad when actually we all rot in office till end of our life from 9 to 5. Give some respect to your fellow!

There are almost never congrats when you did extra effort and spend some time do something exceptionaly good.

I do understand this is not how it works in all companies but anyway.

The organizations best prepared to face disruption are those that align security, continuity and risk management around what the business cannot afford to lose.

Is it possible to use touch mobile screen as windows laptops output? I know that android can do any stuff easily so asking. I think it’s not a new question to use android touch screen hardware as windows laptop screen output. Maybe a cable needed, and some software configuration. No matter how small it’s looking like. Any insights or ready projects?

If you’re worried about deepfake likenesses of yourself showing up online, you’re not alone; YouTube is worried for you. It wants to protect you by having you upload a selfie video and government ID to its site.

The idea is that the video giant will use its own AI to patrol the service for fake videos using your likeness. In exchange, you get the chance to have them taken down.

This isn’t available for everyone, though. It’s for celebs, those in vulnerable jobs, and now, most YouTube creators.

YouTube has been working on this concept, which it calls its “likeness detection” system, since it first floated the idea publicly in September 2024. That December, it launched a partnership with the Creative Artists Agency that saw it using the technology with sporting and entertainment figures.

In October last year, it expanded likeness detection to cover more creators, and then in March it expanded it again to cover politicians and journalists. And last month, it widened the net again, offering the service to Hollywood celebs. They can use it regardless of whether they have a YouTube account, it added.

Now, in its latest move, anyone 18 or older with a selfie and ID can sign up. At least in theory, as it hasn’t rolled out to everyone yet. It’s also for faces only; AI-generated voice clones are another problem entirely.

The privacy risk

Privacy advocates warned that YouTube’s likeness detection system could normalize handing biometric data to large tech platforms, even if YouTube says the data is only used to improve likeness detection models with creator permission.

On the help page for the likeness detection service, YouTube says creators can separately choose whether their face and voice templates are used to improve its likeness detection models.

“When you sign up for Likeness detection, you also have the option to allow YouTube to use your face and voice templates to develop and improve likeness detection models. This helps us build better, more accurate likeness detection technologies.”

Adding:

“You can opt out of YouTube’s use of this data for development and improvement of likeness models at any time.”

YouTube supports legislation intended to tackle deepfakes, such as the NO FAKES and TAKE IT DOWN acts. These are designed to help stop the misappropriation of someone’s image online. TAKE IT DOWN, which became law a year ago, focuses purely on “nonconsensual intimate imagery.” But that doesn’t cover other kinds of deepfakes, such as fake politicians or celebrity endorsements. Those are becoming increasingly common. NO FAKES, which hasn’t yet become law, is far broader in scope, assigning people federal rights over their own image.

So is it worth the trade?

Deepfakes, intimate and otherwise, are definitely a threat, especially for YouTubers who become popular. And the barrier to entry is lowering all the time. Google’s own DeepMind researchers found most generative AI misuse isn’t sophisticated; it’s mundane likeness manipulation by anyone with a browser.

So do you hand over your face and government ID for your protection, to a company whose broader data collection practices have faced years of scrutiny, and hope its policies don’t change? Or do you skip it and hope that the deepfake merchants don’t decide to target you?

Creators commenting on YouTube’s video revealing the service six months ago were less than impressed. One commenter said:

“I was 100% on board, up until the ID upload. That makes me very uncomfortable.”

Echoing several others who complained that it’s difficult to get takedown requests actioned, another added:

“If YouTube actually acted upon these kinds of reports, then I’d be more in favour of this.”

Whether you decide to sign up for the service or not, just be sure to do it with your eyes open.

Someone’s watching your accounts. Make sure it’s us.
