bad news, if you can use a lens to convolve an image, they you can use software to deconvolve it.
Reminds me of the spiral face pedo guy
Are we Burning Chrome yet?
If you can recognize then, ai can. Or will be able to.
This tries to solve a problem on an individual level that cannot be solved on an individual level.
Effective bans on surveillance and permits for protests are the only way that can work.
That's insanely good, you cant even see his beard from the side
Ironically AI slop.
fucked up that we might need this someday..
If you are looking for an image, it was probably deleted
Got a copy somewhere?
fixed
Every day I tell my kids about the ever worsening dystopian nightmare they're dodging by never existing in the first place, holy fucking shit...
Meanwhile silhouette and gait analysis provide a 75% accurate identification. Voice print confirms. Cell phone data pins your every movement for the last ten days. But you sure fooled their facial recognition.
Layers of the onion, cheif. Every layer helps.
Carry no phone to places you don't want to be identified: problem 1 solved.
Put a pebble in your shoe to modify gait: problem 2 solved.
What are they voice printing, your whispers? Your shouts in a crowd? Your silence? Good luck. Problem 3 solved.
However, this mask is designed to defeat AI facial recognition at mass scale. Not to make you anonymous at all times eg protests and whatnot.
What even is privacy anymore
You do also need to cover your eyes at the very least
oh, so that's what happened to Kip Dynamite.
He could drink whole milk.
This doesn’t fully hide the “shape” of your face, head, and features well enough to deter against more advanced detection models
Wear one of these 🥸 underneath
Sew in some lumps or just tuck a few cotton balls randomly underneath?
Or make them yourself with really bad skin
Just needs a dazzle camo pattern

The point is not to hide your face
Looks like one of those chastity cages, but for faces
Interestingly, like a chastity cage it is impossible to get laid wearing one of these
Chastity cages do not make it impossible to have sex
Proof this actually works please. Because if the blur tool can be undon digitially surely this mask can as well.
The undo-blur tools works because they figured out the blur algorithm. Same with this mask. You would have to make a few, random, minor adjustments.
I can't wrap my head around that, I even watched a video about it and I still don't understand how they get back lost information.
Which means... it currently works against AUTOMATED facial recog, until they add this to their distortion data set (or whatever).
Illegal in many places. Also, dressing like that is suspicious.
A cloth mask and hat will do much the same and stand out less.
Is there a face mask that looks like skin?
Others have answered, but there are masks that look like faces.
Everyone is suddenly Kanye West
Searching for funny fake mouth COVID mask gets a lot of interesting results.
I only see them in white skin tones, so there is that.

illegal?
Would this count? Your face is still visible just distorted.
I guess. Executive branch interprets the law in the field, where judicial interprets in the courtroom. Can someone claim that the person's face was hidden in that mask?
I thought it might make more sense to use body paint, but that will be easier to identify people if they have to leave in a hurry. Peel-away paint? Grease paint to obfuscate the contours of the face?
Regardless of that, there are biometrics of gait, voice, and the growing ability to track people across cities.
I think a ski mask would be cheaper.
This should be in boring dystopia, it would suck to have to wear this everywhere you go.
Imagine the heat build up. Greenhouse face.
