This doesn’t fully hide the “shape” of your face, head, and features well enough to deter against more advanced detection models

[–] dontsayaword@piefed.social 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just needs a dazzle camo pattern

Sew in some lumps or just tuck a few cotton balls randomly underneath?

[–] SeductiveTortoise@piefed.social 4 points 1 month ago

Or make them yourself with really bad skin

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Stuff some clumps of toilet paper underneath.

Instructions unclear. Now have toilet paper boobs.

Meanwhile silhouette and gait analysis provide a 75% accurate identification. Voice print confirms. Cell phone data pins your every movement for the last ten days. But you sure fooled their facial recognition.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Layers of the onion, cheif. Every layer helps.

Carry no phone to places you don't want to be identified: problem 1 solved.
Put a pebble in your shoe to modify gait: problem 2 solved.
What are they voice printing, your whispers? Your shouts in a crowd? Your silence? Good luck. Problem 3 solved.

However, this mask is designed to defeat AI facial recognition at mass scale. Not to make you anonymous at all times eg protests and whatnot.

Wear a fursuit and walk like Dune characters. :)

Looks like one of those chastity cages, but for faces

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Interestingly, like a chastity cage it is impossible to get laid wearing one of these

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

Chastity cages do not make it impossible to have sex

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 21 points 1 month ago

If you can recognize then, ai can. Or will be able to.

This tries to solve a problem on an individual level that cannot be solved on an individual level.

Effective bans on surveillance and permits for protests are the only way that can work.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

bad news, if you can use a lens to convolve an image, they you can use software to deconvolve it.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Reminds me of the spiral face pedo guy

[–] KuroiKaze@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Context? That dude from Naruto?

[–] GunValkyrie@lemmy.world 7 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

No, a pedophile that put out his picture on the Internet daring to be caught. But he used the paint swirl tool. So they just unswirled it and arrested him.

Illegal in many places. Also, dressing like that is suspicious.

A cloth mask and hat will do much the same and stand out less.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Is there a face mask that looks like skin?

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Skin tone mask ? Draw facial hair on it

Others have answered, but there are masks that look like faces.

Peaches, I love peaches.

[–] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 15 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Proof this actually works please. Because if the blur tool can be undon digitially surely this mask can as well.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The undo-blur tools works because they figured out the blur algorithm. Same with this mask. You would have to make a few, random, minor adjustments.

That's insanely good, you cant even see his beard from the side

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 month ago

Ironically AI slop.

[–] Headofthebored@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Every day I tell my kids about the ever worsening dystopian nightmare they're dodging by never existing in the first place, holy fucking shit...

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

This should be in boring dystopia, it would suck to have to wear this everywhere you go.

[–] phonics@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Imagine the heat build up. Greenhouse face.

i misread the title very badly, thought at first it was about some anti-mask people against facial recognition, using masks for it.

[–] xia 5 points 1 month ago

I think a ski mask would be cheaper.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

So here’s the thing, nobody cares to verify if the AI is right.

[–] WolfLink@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago

A simple opaque mask would be better

[–] Nomorereddit@lemmy.today 4 points 4 weeks ago

Lol teens wear ski mask for $2

[–] ooli3@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago

The point is not to hide your face

Are we Burning Chrome yet?

[–] Cyberflunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

who tf is downvoting you

i c u, great reference

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 4 weeks ago

Either they don't understand it or they really don't like William Gibson and how close some of his writings are getting to reality.
