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

Just needs a dazzle camo pattern

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

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

Reminds me of the spiral face pedo guy

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

Context? That dude from Naruto?

[–] GunValkyrie@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

[–] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Lmao, no not Tobi

[–] Gladaed@feddit.org 22 points 5 days 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.

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

[–] BotsRuinedEverything@lemmy.world 31 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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 5 days 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.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago

I think that this one misses dark translucent patterns on it to make facial regognition even more harder by providing coloration obstacles.

[–] Wahots@pawb.social 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Wear a fursuit and walk like Dune characters. :)

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

At least you wont attract the worm or Fatboy Slim.

Lol teens wear ski mask for $2

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 22 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Looks like one of those chastity cages, but for faces

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 9 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 5 days ago

Chastity cages do not make it impossible to have sex

[–] HonoraryMancunian@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 days ago

Ironically AI slop.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 days ago

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

[–] Headofthebored@lemmy.world 11 points 5 days 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...

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 16 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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 5 days ago (4 children)

Is there a face mask that looks like skin?

[–] SpikesOtherDog@ani.social 5 points 5 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Everyone is suddenly Kanye West

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

A simple opaque mask would be better

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 10 points 5 days ago (3 children)

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

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days 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.

[–] Bazell@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Modern problems require modern solutions.

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's just a fresnal lense. It's a pretty old design

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Without knowing exactly what the optics are like on this model, I feel like you probably don't want a Fresnel lens anywhere near your face just on general principles

[–] fishos@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Looks to be made of plastic and I doubt it's actually focused. But the design is the same

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 5 days ago

I think a ski mask would be cheaper.
