As someone who gets greeted alarmingly often by people whose names I ought to remember but don't (I'm a minor community leader but am bad with names), I've wanted a device like this for 20+ years. I'm a little sad about the concept being vilified.
On the other hand, as an advocate for both privacy and Free Software, I always imagined it as being completely self-hosted and only adding people's names/faces to its database when I'm introduced to them in person. I'm not at all sad about the particular implementation being vilified.
People have survived without tools like this for thousands upon thousands of years. I think we can afford to wait a few more until there’s a privacy-respecting method behind it. I know we won’t, but I’m sure we could have.
As someone who is bad sat names but has a more social ex, same here. There are so many people I come across that ought to know. I probably come across as rude or aloof because I’m bad at faces and names
