Facial recognition is only “beaten” when a person’s normal face can go undetected without looking like a fucking juggalo.

- mieseratte 8y ago> Facial recognition is only “beaten” when a person’s normal face can go undetected without looking like a fucking juggalo. I know this is crudely put and thus being downvoted, but there is a kernel of truth to it similar to the XKCD encyption / wrench[0] comic. Sure, you might've beat facial recognition in the lab, but in a real world scenario you're walking around in ridiculous looking clown face paint so you're going to come under immediate scrutiny regardless.

Really, you just need to give up on the idea of being anonymous in public. Because that was never something that you could count on.
- matte_black 8y agoIf only there were some sort of light we could shine to wash out a person’s face with, but have it only be visible to cameras and invisible to humans.
- mirimir 8y agoThat would likely just flag you as someone trying to obfuscate facial recognition. Making you quite unique, no? I have noticed that it's very hard to recognize faces of people with very black skin, under low-light conditions. So I can imagine black makeup that's 100% non-reflective across a wide range of wavelengths. But then there's millimeter-wave radar. How would one block reflection of mmW radar?
