I managed to rupture my eye. My after surgery look included an eye shield lots of medical tape and blood stains down my face cheek and neck. And FaceID still identified me. Should I take it the technology is really clever or is this saying something about my normal look?

Favourite ChatGPT snippet so far was asking for quantum mechanics to be explained in the style of a Chicago mobster. Particle superposition was described as “it’s like when a guy gets the snitch and has to decide to whack him or not”. Which is… memorable.
