Instead you need a t-shirt that says: "I have health problems" and point to it whenever someone asks you a question.

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.
@rtw Yes. YES!

@rtw If Herzog was that effective, I wonder what a Klaus Kinski shirt would do?
-
@rtw Where would one buy such a t-shirt? My Google-fu is, as is usual in this late stage internet time, letting me down

Temu is an excellent source of cheap t-shirts with giant faces on them. Typically under $6 (plus $3 S&H).
It helps if you're a fan of Bruce Willis, Blues Brothers, or the Three Stooges.

@rtw@mastodon.sdf.org the text on the shirt having something name-like on it may also have contributed
these sorts of vision models are notoriously susceptible to producing output that says, for example, that an image has a yellow fruit in it, if the image is of a piece of paper with the text "banana" written on it -

@rtw if we can do it without puking, we should all wear shirts with trump's face on them. Or maybe a morph between trump and one of the Kardashians.

THIS ^^^ is the thread I, for one, needed to see today.
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. -

@jakebrake @rtw I've never successfully bought something from Temu. I get sideswiped by the casino games and leave without buying anything.

There was some work recently published, or at least let out into media, about patterns on cars and suchlike that caused mechanical recognition devices to ignore them.In WW2 the #photographer #LeeMiller's husband #RolandPenrose, a #surrealist artist, worked on camouflage, some of which was #dazzle, intended not so much to hide the presence of a ship on the sea, as to confuse about how big far fast whence it was travelling, and so on.

@rtw Are you sure it's faces plural? Maybe it's just Herzog's
