Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

Facial tattoos of drop table commands. Embed computer worms into your iris. We can get insane to fuck all this shit up too. I bet theres a way to embed a computer virus on your own face.

I guess I’ll adjust my life goals to “hot cyberpunk partner in technological dystopia”, because that sounds like some Bladerunner/Cyberpunk 2077 stuff.

Its not that far off. We’ll see exactly what I said soon enough. You can put a virus or worm inside an image in an email. You can do the same thing with a tattoo. Its unfortunate it will be here so far before the superhuman cybernetics.

I’d much prefer that people who haven’t done this wouldn’t talk.

Sounds like a great time to start a costume & mask making company named “The ministry of silly walks”.

Honestly with enshittification “technological dystopia” sounds like exactly where we already are. Now, if only implants weren’t being R&D’d by Muskrat and there were some open source non-invasive version…

Attempts at adversial ai tatoo, face masks and clothing have been done before. Basically exploiting the model not having a deeper understanding of the world so you can trick it with specific visual artifacts.

Which may even work with 0.001% probability of that recognized string not being screened.

There’s a difference between SQL injections on thematic web forums and the same in such a system.

That “we can … too” is lazy complacency. “They” will get even stronger while “we” talk like this.

Nothing is casual about this. Be pessimistic if you want. But we will not stop jabbing the eye that watches. This is an arms race.

What I’m saying is that you personally haven’t done any of this and look stupid.

Yep, people do use vulnerabilities in software and hardware to do things. Just not you, so that “we” seems weird.

Neither did I, I just played with crackmes and shellcodes a bit, but I’m not the person writing pretentious posts with that “we”.
