Those people are just dressed like regular Australians.
So I guess we’re wearing broken JPEGs now huh?
Glitch art clothing would be dope even if it didn’t help with AI fuzzing.
I want this to be a thing
It’s only a matter of time before a cop charges someone with obstruction for trying to disrupt a camera system (during the commission of a crime, I mean).
Or they just work around it
400-700 for a single article of clothing with no mention of what facial recognition software this affects, how effective it is and what is the failure rate, error bounds, etc. Sounds like a scam.
I wouldn’t call it a “scam” just manipulative marketing. This stuff doesn’t seem like it’d work for any of the modern facial recognition options, but that’s just a guess. If it did work well and they were proud of it, you can be sure that’d be part of the marketing, so it at best is mediocre if not useless.
So I don’t know if you guys actually read the article or not but they absolutely DO claim that it works against YOLO which they claim to be the most popular recognition software. I don’t know about how factual any of that is, but they do make the statement.
the difference?
Not who you asked, but I think some might argue that it would be a scam if you ordered it and it didn’t arrive or something like that. If it works against one facial recognition model than technically it is just bad marketing. Either way is bad, though.
Their demo video looks horrible. They are using a trash algorithm to demo the detection failing.
The girl also moves extremely slowly and permanently has her arms out to the side at the elbows. I assume this is the only way they could get the results they wanted to show.
AI probably was already patched 5 minutes after the article came out.

Yeah but they don’t use LLMs for this, they’ll use some other kind of machine learning mixed in a big pipeline of data processing. It makes it really hard to guess how much work it would take to fix. It might require retraining, might just require an easy patch of the rest of the pipeline.
My guess is that they’re just shitty jumpers and there’s nothing to fix anyway.
Oh I dont know, I would just assume they could update (or retrain) to adapt pretty quickly.

Similar tech has been around for a while, and it almost always gets beaten.
Absolutely cool. I will have to revise all my internalized cyberpunk imagery though.
$246?! I can’t afford that. For that price I’d rather avoid cameras and such. Cool technology though
Good for privacy! But I really doubt it would work for all recognition systems.
Some funny pitfalls that may occur - Self driving cars would prefer to hit that person if had to make a choice between him and some other human. And, there is possibility that the Street mapping cars would not blur his face for the lack of detection.
William Gibson’s Ugly Shirt come to life
A friend of mine’s dad worked in some capacity of pigs. Which lead to my friend finding out that some people had either by really random luck in attempting something like the comic or also finding out from interacting with pigs. That in the city I lived in, there is like a “panic” signal that auto calls for lots of help that involved hitting a specific letter or number multiple times. For some reason I want to say it was maybe either zero or O, but I don’t remember off hand.
So when they would be quickly inputting a plate with enough taps and not thinking, shit would cause resources to be pulled and wasted. Not great for attracting attention to the driver since it is basically pulling aggro. But could be great for moving attention from somewhere else.

This would be a good article if the pictures actually showed people wearing the clothes.
Literally the header image…
What’s with the floating heads?
I see a couple people, and some oddly colored blobs.
Oh! HHahhahhhHah! That’s a good joke! Wooshed right over my head hahahahahahahah!
Edit: correct autocorrect
Unfortunatly its a cat and mouse game. Except the cat is a easily deployable software problem and the mouse is buy new clothing hardware problem.
If they can target the underlying architecture of the models like nightshade does, it will actually be quite hard to deal with for the surveillance companies.
Interesting concept if we can target and poison the definatly stolen training data.
Led clothing anyone?
they’ve been around for some time now: https://www.reflectacles.com
Ghost is $170 (US, I’m assuming). Not great but not bad for a wicked cool looking pair of sunglasses. Considering Ray-Bans are around $200 (and, no offense, look like they’re from Tesco), and that Ghost are privacy focused, I’d say that price seems not that bad. Still high, though.
If its radioactive then it will disrupt the image sensor. It mist also disrupt your dna but u dont need that do ya.
I guess I’ll just wear radium paint then.
Light emitting diode (screens sewn on fabric) not lead lined 😁
Fuck im retarded. But maybe a automated laser targeting system.
