We keep fighting it technologically which is an arms race. A cultural solution is the only path forward that will see meaningful success.
- echelon_musk - 22126 sekunder sedanShamelessly hijacking this story to recommend The Private Eye digital comic [0]. Set in a future where everyone has normalised the wearing of masks in public to preserve their anonymity. The protagonist refuses to get a driving license because he wouldn't want a photo of himself in a database.
- mcv - 20090 sekunder sedanNot surprising at all. It's a form of dazzle camouflage that has previously been shown to confuse facial recognition[0]. It's probably possible to design it to be more effective yet less intrusive than juggalo makeup.
I would have actually expected it to be more popular by now.

- soopypoos - 22574 sekunder sedanI wonder if I'm more likely to get denied entry wearing juggalo face or classic camo paint
- ChrisMarshallNY - 22280 sekunder sedanI guess LiveNation won't be running ICP concerts, then...
- Larrikin - 18087 sekunder sedanIn 2018 it was already common knowledge that gait analysis was more accurate than facial recognition at the time. This would have been defeatable then.

- deltoidmaximus - 10954 sekunder sedanIn Fall; or, Dodge in Hell by Neal Stephenson one of the characters happens by a group of young women wearing devices that project constantly changing colored light patterns onto their faces to prevent facial recognition tracking. It's barely even mentioned in the book but I wondered how viable that was of an idea. The character's only thought on the devices IIRC was that most people only occasionally wore them.

- beau_g - 13964 sekunder sedanIt would be interesting to first create a taxonomy of juggalo face paint patterns a la aruco markers/April tags, then see if a sufficiently large crowd of juggalos could be used to calibrate cameras
- hackitup7 - 18161 sekunder sedanI'll make sure to wear my Juggalo makeup the next time I visit China to avoid their face scanning technology. That'll surely help me blend into the background.
- wr639 - 13884 sekunder sedanSo maybe they may be smarter then they get credited for being. Probably not. But now anyone feeling uncomfortable about facial recognition tech now know what they can do to combat it if they chose. One question. Can you get thru the airport and onto a plan wearing the makeup?
- refulgentis - 22349 sekunder sedanClickbait, it’s a couple tweets microwaved and the 3rd paragraph is “well, except for modern facial recognition”
- mixmastamyk - 7876 sekunder sedanSounds like a lot of work. Are Groucho glasses effective, perhaps with obscured lenses?
- pgporada - 23203 sekunder sedanWhoop whoop
- schmeichel - 22803 sekunder sedanWhere my Juggalos at??
- lucasay - 21387 sekunder sedanI’m more curious about how robust this is against modern systems. A lot of newer facial recognition models are trained on occlusions, masks, and heavy makeup — so this might be less effective than people assume.
- Findecanor - 22306 sekunder sedan(2019) ... but sadly increasingly relevant.
- dvinciyuri89 - 10866 sekunder sedanwell written but i disagree with the conclusion. the data supports multiple interpretations
- FrustratedMonky - 5398 sekunder sedanWith facial recognition camaras everywhere.
Might be time become a juggalo.
- PaulHoule - 7454 sekunder sedan... reminds me of the time I was in Quebec and there was a Montréal Canadiens game near my hotel and there was a fan taking up most of the elevator because he was dressed up like a player, mask and all!
- dsiegel2275 - 14720 sekunder sedanAlso blocks magnets.
- yacin - 20088 sekunder sedanmaybe it's just from being covered in Faygo?
- general_reveal - 13436 sekunder sedanFucking magnets and shit, how do they even work?
- tinfoilhatter - 7733 sekunder sedanRemember kids - don't pick up any currency lying on the ground at an ICP concert. It most likely has poop on it.

- gethwhunter34 - 16266 sekunder sedancounterpoint: this assumes everyone has the same constraints. not always true
