That's why I also rotate license plates and repaint my car twice a year.
- zapdrive 3y agoI also change my facial hair style 4 times a year. Will start getting plastic surgery twice a year starting next year.
- mcbuilder 3y agoI just inked an adversarial CV tattoo onto my face, worked great until that image leaked into the training data.
- zapdrive 3y agoShould have tattooed a QR code that auto downloads a malware that bricks A100s.
- wongarsu 3y agoAgainst face recognition you could use CV dazzle makeup [1] to look less like a face. However I wouldn't recommend using that approach for your vehicle 1 https://dangerousminds.net/comments/foil_facebooks_facial_recognition_using_sneaky_world_war_i_razzle https://dangerousminds.net/comments/foil_facebooks_facial_re...
- fho 3y agoI think that's actually quite common on new car models. The dazzle paint job makes it harder for the press to see the shape. E.g.: https://www.bmw.com/en/automotive-life/prototype-cars.html https://www.bmw.com/en/automotive-life/prototype-cars.html
- vondur 3y agoI wonder how the face painting antics of Death Metal bands would hold up to face recognition software?
- Accacin 3y agoSorry for being pedantic, but it's usually Black Metal bands that wear the face paint that you're thinking of :)
- 867-5309 3y agosounds like a slippery slope to voluntary hip surgery for gait correction
- cool_dude85 3y agoI always wondered if this could be beat by putting a pebble in your shoe or something.
- fleshdaddy 3y agoIt’s been a long time since I read it but I think that’s exactly how it was beat in Cory Doctorow’s novel Little Brother.
- silisili 3y agoNot sure if it's changed now, but just wearing flip flops used to defeat gait recognition...
- jancsika 3y agoThat's why I wear an rpi connected to four lcd's on my face that display randomly chosen beard tiles. It's also why I started Our Lady of the Anonymity Pool where we gather for music and fellowship, and to recharge and distribute beard screens to our congregants and visitors.
- alinaval 3y agoPhillip K Dick imagined a "scramble suit" that did just that in a Scanner Darkly, continuously randomizing the users facial features.
- knodi123 3y agoThat's why my license plate is shaped like 3 different light bulbs, and is hidden in a grid of light bulb shaped objects.
- zoky 3y agoOh hey, I just did your license plate as a CAPTCHA!
- culi 3y agoyou're joking, but there's a whole genre of "adversarial fashion"[0][1] dedicated to making clothing that spams these sort of public data recognition services. Hoodies with license plates, face masks with weird facial features, etc. Often optimized against actual neural networks too [0] https://adversarialfashion.com/ https://adversarialfashion.com/ [1] https://www.capable.design/ https://www.capable.design/
- syx 3y agoThat’s really cool, I wonder effective these designs really are! This reminds me of a font that came out 10 years ago ZXX [1] that was presumably designed to hide from OCRs.

- JohnBooty 3y agoThis is awesome, and thanks for posting this. I had no idea.
- pests 3y agoGait detection renders any of this obsolute sadly.
- berniedurfee 3y agoSomething something silly walks
- squarefoot 3y agoYou beat me to it:) Context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCLp7zodUiI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eCLp7zodUiI
- downWidOutaFite 3y agoLuckily my gait is not in an adtech company's database and sold to the government, like my face probably is.

- seanmcdirmid 3y agoThis is actually a common practice. Thieves will jack someone’s plates (prefer that they don’t notice) after stealing a car. It is pretty effective, since most people don’t realize their plates have been swapped until they have been pulled over for vehicle theft, so the cops aren’t even looking for the right plate for a few days, and by then they’ve already swapped again. Better put an apple tag in your car just in case.
