<![CDATA[Fun story: When I was traveling home I wore my "Watch Herzog" t-shirt for travel day.]]>Fun story: When I was traveling home I wore my "Watch Herzog" t-shirt for travel day. It's got a giant picture of Werner's face on it.

This fucked up every single facial recognition program both the Mexican and US passport control areas to the point that agents for both countries had to pull me aside and verify my identity the old fashioned way.

So t-shirts with big faces on them don't work well with AI Facial recognition systems. Figured that would be interesting information around here.

For example, in california plates have a digit, three letters, and three digits. __But__ the first and last letter cannot be I or O. If I composed the plate with magnets, I could keep changing it up, plus the flock camera would get the direction wrong in addition to submitting an invalid plate number

Robo shares a story of a T-shirt with a large picture of Werner Herzog that fucks with facial recognition, and a host of randos chime in with suggestions, encouragement, and amusement.
