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?
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.
The method that Cap_able has patented allows the wearer to incorporate the algorithm into the fabric of the clothing and still look stylish.
I was with you up until the stylish bit
This will work for about 10 minutes. Better off wearing a facemask, bandana, juggalo face paint, etc
I'll take the juggalo face paint even though I am not a juggalo
Wrong answer.
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).
🎶"Because I'm tacky..." 🎵
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.
Led clothing anyone?
If its radioactive then it will disrupt the image sensor. It mist also disrupt your dna but u dont need that do ya.
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
Those people are just dressed like regular Australians.
AI probably was already patched 5 minutes after the article came out.
You can't really "patch" LLMs like most software; you'd have to retrain them, no?
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.
I don't know either, I wasn't trying to be condescending or anything.
So I guess we're wearing broken JPEGs now huh?
I want this to be a thing
