Simple task to put in fake cover identities. The government successfully got backdoor access to cell phone networks across the board, they'll have edit access to this.
I think I shouldn't be posting this but: They have been photographed at rallies (in Ray-Bans, lol) they are almost certainly carrying cell devices and radios at these events.
A few random, nobody dudes wardriving around with off the shelf stuff and an x220 found that the same people rioting during the summer of love were mostly tourists, going from city to city. Because they put out their own wifi mesh networks and the same phones consistently connected to them.
This was also discovered at Harris rallies.
Edit: I hope you get what I am getting at. I don't think I can be blunt about this, with all the current goings-ons.
Feds were pocket carrying. The photos had their hands in their right pockets and carrying bottled water with their left. Everyone just happened to drink water with their non-dominant hand? I don't buy it.
Feds are not as thorough about scrubbing their online presence as you would imagine and there are a number of services out there that collate all their publicly available data that anyone can currently access.
This is a great retard test. People will be freaking out about "the glasses," while ignoring that they're just a camera and that the existence of "the glasses" has nothing to do with the lack of privacy because the data is already there and advertisers and the feds have been doing a far deeper version of this for years already.
It's great that this is making people suddenly aware but it'll be like the retarded panic over Google Glass. People will put up signs saying "no scary glasses" at the most and then go on handing over EiB of PII same as they always have and sleep on the underlying issues.
By the same token, the "AI" part is a footnote. Reverse image lookup has existed for a long time. AI may have improved facial recognition, but these guys are throwing a jpg at a commercial website (https://pimeyes.com/) someone else runs. There is nothing "AI" about the glasses.
A weekend project is not some giant leap in the surveillance state. It just made you pay attention until you stop again. But people will probably go after these two thinking they're evil geniuses or something.
They didn't create any of these tools. They were already all available.
They just took the input photo with a camera built into glasses instead of literally any other kind of camera and automated a bit around the edges. So it is possible they care and this was just a stunt to get attention, because it really isn't anything new otherwise.
You know how people freak out when they realize they're being filmed on someone's phone? It's only a matter of time until a public fight breaks out because someone assumed a normal-glasses wearing person was using surveillance tech.
I've gotten crap from friends and family because for the last 20 years I've done everything in my power to keep photos of myself off the Internet. Looks like I made the right call.
If the GDPR worked, none of the websites they're querying with the image/name would return results. You wouldn't need to ban "pair of glasses that posts image."
Mobile phones can already do this and probably are secretly gathering images with everyone running around pointing phone cams in public.
The GDPR has hardly been used very little to protect the publics privacy.
All the wrong people will champion this until it gets used against them. Or when shitlords use it to pick out Feds at rallys.
you honestly think the database will include feds?
A void is still an identifiable entity. If you have [Joe], [Tyrone], [Steve], [Mary], [REDACTED], [Charlie], that's still a pretty notable listing.

... and then literally do nothing about it just like every other hysterical woman-like crying from the right about 'muh feds'.

Yeah the government has already been doing this. Things like this just raise awareness of it
Immediately connect it to the US Sex Offender Registery and watch it get banned fast.
I eagerly await the shitstorm this will cause when it is inevitably used to find the identities of OF "models" and porn stars. Should be a real hoot.
Only way we're stopping things like this is if we create AR glasses that AI deepfake the clothes off women within your field of vision.
how will that prevent AI glasses that identifies individuals?
Do it, just... just trust me okay?
It could be trained on the cache of data collected by the NSA that includes everyone's nudes, so they could even be reasonably accurate deep fakes.
We are really getting to the point that carrying around a jammer is a more and more wise choice.
You can get very large fines if you get caught with one
All part of the risk/reward.
They give some tips to avoid getting 'identified' by these type of devices, but it's only a superficial effort.
It's pretty scummy they're trying to act like they give a shit about anyone's privacy, because they know most people won't go through the effort.

I've been noticing traffic cameras popping up like weeds in my neck of the woods. The surveillance state is picking up steam.
Aren't negros safe because even computers can't tell black people from one another?
Beards also fuck things up.

This is the kind of thing people should be scared about with regards to AI. Not dumb shit like Taylor Swift deepfake nudes.
This is likely going to get banned pretty quickly once it gets going, at least in the EU / UK space, what with our GDPR laws.

Reason #19284747 why I don't have an online presence and haven't since 2014.
I'm sorry i don't like to laugh at people's name but that caught me off guard and I spat out my drink hahaha.
