The discussion centers on innovative clothing designed to deceive facial recognition software, specifically a T-shirt priced at $300 that employs advanced patterns to confuse AI algorithms. Participants speculate on the potential for cheap knock-offs and the challenges of patenting such designs, likening the technology to programmable sewing machines. The conversation highlights the implications of using such clothing for evading surveillance, suggesting that it could inadvertently enhance monitoring capabilities if misused.
PREREQUISITESThis discussion is beneficial for fashion designers, technologists, privacy advocates, and anyone interested in the intersection of AI technology and personal privacy.
Id expect cheap chinese knockoffs soon. Id imagine patenting what is basically art is a nightmare. If nothing else isnt there such a thing as a programmable sewing machine. Like a 3D printer but for fabrics. Probably expensive still though.scottdave said:At $300 per T-shirt, you won't see these all over the place - until the knock-offs start showing up.
Couldn't they program it to sound an alarm if a zebra is detected walking through Madison Square Garden?
And with every T-shirt, you get a free balloon!sbrothy said:d expect cheap chinese knockoffs soon
Giraffes was just one posibility out of many. Praying mantis, gopher, wasp - indeed with advanced knitting technology you may be able to pass yourself off as Pablo Escobar or Stephen Paddock. The sky is the limit.Algr said:Wouldn't a shirt like that actually make the surveillance much more effective? Ask the database for all instances of a giraffe walking around New York, and you've basically got this guy's life story.
