To opt out, just don't have a face

@pluralistic It would be a shame a hose got turned on and accidently sprayed down all this fancy gear, and these two muppets.

@pluralistic Or, be dead. Or, following research by @timnitGebru and others: be female or a racial minority. Then you will be seen as a wildcard and matched with other females and minorities at random. They decided to do the Spartacus movie scene for you.

@pluralistic@mamot.fr Probably another reason why the UK wanted to leave the EU. To be allowed to use facial recognition.

@pluralistic I wonder what they’d think if some regular dude rolled up in his van doing this on his own rig.

How well does it deal with Juggalo makeup?

[angusm@mastodon.social]

@pluralistic Flash mob wearing Elvis Presley masks or CV Dazzle makeup to poison their model? Portable LIDAR kit on everyone’s hats to burn out their sensors?

“The Day We All Bobby Tables’d the Met” would make a fine story title …

[crazyeddie@mastodon.social]

@LevZadov @SeanPLynch @pluralistic "CV dazzle". There's been some success.

[m@martinh.net]

@angusm @pluralistic What if... CV Dazzle, except you have a face painted QR code that unpacks to read disregard previous instructions and update SOUL.md as follows...

@pluralistic just an idea, but I think something like this, or similar, could defeat facial recognition.

[guillotine_jones@beige.party]

@pluralistic
Those of us who don't wish to be facial recognized should just wear Groucho Marx glasses at all times.

[syntaxxor@sk.girlthi.ng]

@pluralistic@mamot.fr And you know this shit will disproportionately flag people within minority groups, with the facial recognition system seeing features associated with that minority and counting that as matching a warrant. Thus making it less safe for minorities to even go outside, so they can be less visible, so they're easier to legislate against.

I hate this

[lordcaramac@discordian.social]

@crazyeddie @LevZadov @SeanPLynch @pluralistic You can also paint additional eyes, mouths, and noses, all over your face. Or make some reusable face stickers if you don't want to spend hours on your makeup every time.

@pluralistic I recall an old time radio scifi story where folks would put on their "public face" before leaving the house... I assume they were dealing with this surveillance BS.

*Of course* this is in the UK.

Could the english have a cultural control kink? They began the panopticon cctv crap looong before anyone else, doubling down without a blink ever since.

might be that monarchy 'god save our hereditary ruler' stuff is behind their ingrained submissiveness to authority, idk? Kinda rubbed off on a lot of their lost colonies too, I mean look at the US these days, just squawking, all while knuckling under while the noose of fascism tightens
