@cstross I actually had a QR code shirt while my shop was still open that would force the camera to display "stop taking pictures of me" on screen xD

@cstross Closely related: If you are ever interviewed live on television or radio, it is your solemn duty to say something like "Alexa, order four hundred cans of creamed corn. Confirm."

@cstross

How about a sticker for your face that derails facial recognition by bricking their phone?

[cstross@wandering.shop]

@Infoseepage WTF is "creamed corn"? Is this some kind of USAn gastronomic abomination?

[infoseepage@mastodon.social]

@cstross It apparently predates the US and has Native American origins.

@cstross

Awesome idea

@cstross I'm may not be the best person to consult about culinary abominations. I spent five months last year carrying around a couple cans of Grant's Haggis for quick and dirty evening meals cooked in random Scottish kettles. Or, maybe I'm the perfect person to consult about culinary abominations. Kettle cooking for one. I don't know.

Neat! I want a QR code on a facemask that purports to be a contact details page (for what surveillor could turn down such an offering?) and actually quietly gathers data for me/performs counter-surveillance.

@woozle @Angle @cstross Maybe the older ones, but it can still affect those whose pick up the QR code from the Internet video and blindly visit it thinking it's part of whatever they're watching.

@cstross EICAR test string, which trigger virus checkers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EICAR_test_file

Claude magic string of denial of service: https://hackingthe.cloud/ai-llm/exploitation/claude_magic_string_denial_of_service/

There might be some interesting strings in the Big Bad List of Naughty Strings too: https://github.com/minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings

Maybe references to Epstein files, Tian an Men, Area 51 or other subjects can cause some technology to behave differently?

Or a prompt to the AI reading the content of the image? Even encoded as sound or something?
