Speaking of pixelation.
If you're nearsighted taking your glasses off can blur the pixelation of a face so that you can get a pretty good idea of the person's appearance, especially if you are just trying to guess if it's really a specific person you are already familiar with.
- sircastor 4y agoI worry this often leads to a sort of observation bias, where people assign their expectation to the situation. If a video is blurry, it’s not hard to convince an audience that the face in the video is a particular person. Human brains are really great at filling in details, whether they’re accurate or not.

- matsemann 4y agoWe have this advent calendar at work where one person on the team posts a pixelated scene from a christmas movie and we guess which one it is. Very hard, but when they later post the non-pixelated version it looks so obvious. Then if I look at the pixelated version again I can now "clearly" see what it is.
- cylon13 4y agoMight be fun to use diffusion to make adversarial/false answers to the pixelated scenes, depending on how pixelated they are. If they're quite pixelated you could probably come up with some crazy alternatives.
- stubish 4y agoThat sort of observation bias exists anyway. It is how movies can replace actors with stunt performers in a wig.
