It seems that,
- The original OP did zero research
- Pondsmith is a prophet
Additionally: Los Payasos
Shadowrun also has the halloweeners

Yo that’s actually pretty metal

Also William Gibson wrote about foiling facial recognition with makeup over thirty years ago.
Also i think in Spook Country (but i’m not sure) he makes them use a t-shirt with an “ugly face” which is designed to disable facial recognition.
Also Judge Dredd has clown folk who are essentially juggalos.
Some years ago, Pussy Riot put out information on how to use Makeup to confound face detection algorithms.
On an unrelated note: This is probably going to be blocked in ML because I used the word “pussy”. I wonder why that instance has a problem with me mentioning that word. Could it be perhaps the name of a feminist anarchist group activity resisting domestic Russian oppression? No, I’m sure that’s a coincidence.
Edit: Ty to everyone who helped correct my misunderstanding. The feedback has been informative, but I’ll leave my comment as-is so people reading have context incase they also have misconceptions.
No, it’s because there’s no sex in the USSR.
I’m on ML and can read your comment without a problem. Let’s see if I can type it.
Pussy Riot
EDIT: No problem there.
I’m surprised! Good to know, ty.
says Pussy riot in the mirror 3 times as the clock strikes midnight
nervously waits (or excitedly? how big exactly is a riot of pussy? Big enough? How many hectares does the average Pussy Riot engulf?)
This face looks back at you.
AFAIK .ml doesn’t automatically block comments from other instances containing slurs, they only automatically block slurs from being posted by their own users.

That’s so removed
Stop trying to make removed happen
Hey, wanna removed?😳
Beat chess
Yeah, .ml blocks all words potentially used as slurs so people don’t mention one band, lol
Not true. Here is the regex doing the blocking:
slur_filter_regex: https://lemmy.ml/api/v3/siteIt’s not exactly secret.
It was sarcasm, yeah
What if a farmer wants to join the instance and comments about waking up to the cock singing, finding the bitches in heat and gathering faggots from the yard
“slur_filter_regex”:“(fag(g|got|tard)?\b|cock\s?sucker(s|ing)?|ni((g2,})[e3r]+(s|z)?|mudslime?s?|kikes?|\bspi(c|k)s?\b|\bchinks?|gooks?|bitch(es|ing|y)?|whor(es?|ing)|\btr(a|@)nn?(y|ies?)|\b(b|re|r)tard(ed)?s?)”
I didn’t see anything that would match on pussy there though
Exactly. That’s what I meant.
Ah, got it, thanks
Turns out animals’ camouflage including background matching, disruptive coloration, shadow elimination, counter shading, counter illumination and others are there to prevent optical recognition.
Who would have thunk.
What we didn’t know was that Zebras evolved to defeat AI comera recognition.
New studies indicate face paint makes your face look a bit different.
You’ll also need a silly walk to defeat gait recognition
Well that’s why they set up a ministry to manage the silly walks, to make sure they complied with gait recognition before they were used.
Maybe the whole point of Monty Python was to sketch out ways that humans could behave that would confuse and hugely throw off machine learning algorithms.
Talk about “poisoning the well” with AI training, all you have to do is 65% of the time make completely normal and rational intelligent choices and the other 35% be completely illogical and inscrutable. Any algorithm trained on you then, no matter how smart you are or how valuable your knowledge is, will inconsistently and abruptly resort to batshit crazy and unreliable choices and information. :)
The thousands and thousands of years we have nurtured sarcasm and absurdism in the garden of human culture has all been for this one true purpose…
I would say maybe John Cleese is an alien trying to save us, but Cleese is a dick no matter how funny the stuff he was involved in was and I would hope Aliens were much more open minded than he is.
Bonus: Also helps avoid detection by sandworms.
Walk without rhythm.
It won’t attract the worm
I’m sure this could be negated with flowy clothing that contains adversarial patterns. At least for a while.
Like a big, flowy skirt that has a bunch of legs all over it

I mean it’s close. The Cyberpunk ttrpg was released in '88 and ICP’s first album dropped in '89.
To some degree or another, all of them were insane, with about a third of them firmly in the grip of cyberpsychosis.
Wow! So, they really are an insane clown posse.
As an enjoyer of most of icp, this makes me laugh.
MWCL
MMWCL!
YO WERE MY DARK CARNIVAL INVERTEBROTHERS AT
Bring back the Juggalos! I’ve been saying it for years. We need them now more than ever.
It’s nice being able to see people talk about icp like this thread without being nasty about it tbh
I’m not a fan of the music, but I’d rather be surrounded by authentically deranged weirdos than an endless sea of yuppies.
That’s quite fair.
Love the worst band in the world, fam.
If nothing else, they’re an inspiration for just doing your own thing artistically. Fuck the critics, just make some shit you’re passionate about, make it available to find its audience, and connect/bring in other folks who want to do the same.
IMO, they created/‘popularized’ an entire genre of music, and some of it’s better than what they put out (for example, I like Twiztid more - but they wouldn’t be what they are if it wasn’t for ICP and Psychopathic Records)
Edit: For those who need a pick me up going into work tomorrow, a little MMFCL for ya.
I like twiztid, too. I’m not a big huge fan of icps newer stuff, but man, their older stuff is awesome.
They never left…
Around where I am you don’t see them much anymore. I think between the Fentanyl and the COVID they got hit hard.
Incoming novel featuring Dazzle camo face paint
goddamn you, i was going to make a joke about this, now i’m legally required to be mad at you for it!
Abracadabra boom shacka dae
I’m Violent J, and I’m back like a vertebrae
vertebra is the singular form of vertebrae
which does not rhyme with day but rather dee or die
I don’t think so.
That’s not doing facial recognition though, that’s a reverse image lookup. It’s a lot easier to find an exact match for a photo.
Shhhh they think they’ve outsmarted the shitpost. Let’s just let ‘em have this one. They could probably use the win.
Exploitable
Replace top clown with normal person to show it finding that Juggalo
(Apparently that’s Violent J, next to his buddy… Shaggy 2 Dope)
I presume the facial recognition would be trying to match against faces without the makeup.
If you always use the same makeup pattern, then I guess it can latch onto that like anything else, if trained to do so.
Also note that facial recognition tries to break down a face into discrete “pieces” so it can match a face in profile against the same face from the front. In your example the image is visually similar because they are both exactly the same angle, no ‘facial recognition’ involved. If it can’t figure out what a cheekbone is, what a nose is, generally what a ‘face’ is, then that would count as fouling the facial recognition because it would be unable to use a reference facial database.
Huh, the tweet the article referenced is five years old, I wonder if there’s been any advancement in facial recognition in that regard
Last I heard, the CCP did a bit of social engineering and got a load of TikTokkers to post videos in juggalo makeup in order to retrain their facial recognition software.
I don’t recall if it was successful, but it happened.
The Machine can never take our Fago. Woop woop.
