Juggalos Figured Out How To Beat Facial Recognition (theoutline.com)
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Outline: As if they weren't already doing the absolute most, the die-hard fans of the rap group Insane Clown Posse have become accidental heroes for people concerned about facial recognition tech: According to Twitter user @tahkion, a computer science blogger for WonderHowTo, Juggalo makeup outmatches the machine learning algorithms that govern facial recognition technology.
In a series of follow-up tweets, @tahkion explained that facial recognition works by pinpointing the areas of contrast on a human face -- for instance, where a nose is located, or where the chin becomes the neck. As it happens, juggalo makeup often involves applying black paint below the mouth, but above the chin. That makes facial recognition vulnerable to misidentifying the placement of the jaw. Face-painting styles like "corpse" makeup also obscure the face. However, they don't create enough contrast to effectively confuse most facial recognition systems. Dramatic styles of feminine makeup, like heavy eyeliner, also are generally not enough to confuse facial recognition systems, @tahkion claims. However, facial recognition tech such as Apple's Face ID, which does not rely on visible light and uses depth perception, would not be tricked by juggalo makeup.

This is how evolution happens. Predators identify prey. Prey with markings that deceive a predator's system survive. Or vice versa, prey identify stalking predators. Predators with markings that hide them well are more successful.
Add in a few million years of arms racfe and you've got things with stripes, spots, false eyes.
This doesn't bode well for the human race, as juggalos will become the dominate subspecies.
Those who do not learn from commit history are doomed to regress it.
I hooked up with a juggalo chick maybe 10 years ago. amazing oral skills. I mean, her mouth made love to my asshole. Like a horse eating an apple. next morning, she took off her makeup and it turned out she was a man. Wish I knew that before I sucked her cock. Live and learn! BTW, fucking magnets, how do they work?
Well my wife's already as wide as a battleship, so sure, why not.
What is a juggalo?
Someone who thinks linebreaks are whack.
My ism, it's full of beliefs.
