We put tape over all of the built-in cameras on our electronics at home. Though, there is the rare occasion when we don't speak of certain topics anywhere near them. 🙊

It is worth pointing out that going through all the trouble of avoiding being recognized by cameras is pointless if you're just going to carry your smartphone tracking device with you everywhere. Especially in areas with 5G coverage where your smartphone can already be tracked with quite a high degree of precision.

I went through US customs recently with my family. We had to stand in front of a camera for a few seconds, it matched our face to a passport in their database, they confirmed our name in the database with us, and we went on through. We don't fly international much, but they managed to connect our faces to all our passport info without us ever having to take our passport out of our bags. Super convenient, but also super scary.

Another issue with the garments that Matt forgot to mention is that, well, what about the place you work? Plenty of those have dress codes that don't allow clothing that looks like that, so even if you happened to have something that was somehow %100 effective it wouldn't matter anyway. There is another thing to consider, though. A lot of these cameras that were counted have no AI or facial recognition technology, and even a number of the ones that do are on their own closed system. So on one hand, the clothing is even less helpful than you'd think considering when you're even able to wear it, but on the other hand a ton of these cameras are nowhere near as concerning as you'd assume. Finally, there's the fact that, to any human watching the footage, wearing clothing like that tends to make you stand out.

I hate to break it to Matpat but I would LOVE to be known as the person who just wear the nightmare dog shirt.

Once again, the classic cloak with a deep cowel comes out on top. Use a design that breaks up your shape like stripes, the deep cowel means that your face can only be seen from the front and only if they get past the shadow, and security cameras tend not to have a flash, so your face should stay nice and concealed.

The scarves only really work with camera flashes, but due to advancements in low light tech, most phones today can still capture your face, never mind cctv cameras.

Heres a style theory ive personally been curious about: are those shampoo bodywash combos (those 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 things) really more effective than the seperate shampoos and body wash?

I love Matt, pat retconning the lore of his own life by telling us that he got that jacket as a gift for crossing a mile stone, even though I specifically remember him designing that jacket as a theorywear merch item for that specific purpose, and it bombing horribly, but that’s just a theory

Here's an idea: face tattoos that have a similar concept to the weird animal clothes you talked about

Can I just talk about how much I loved the editing choice of putting in a "San Andreas" license plate? I don't even know why but I found it so cool

I was getting a little worried that Matpat didn't give correct information, but luckily he saved it all at the end

I knew there was going to be some privacy sponsor.

This is also a matter of how creepy you are comfortable with looking. You can always create a pattern that is a fractal of somewhat blurry and rotated human faces or randomly placed eyes, noses and mouths, made of smaller burry and rotated human faces (or face parts), but you will look like someone who's a bit too much into body horror. And you can train the AI to detect or generate pretty much anything, even at home, so it wouldn't stay effective for long. In the end you will be a comparable master of camouflage to a dude standing in a lake with a wooden duck attached to his head.

Yeah. In the end, as long as a human can tell who you are, a sufficiently smart AI can too. An even smarter AI could be even better at identifying you than humans.

also remember that some of the AI’s may be working off more than just your face. so anti-ai clothes will just become another fairly unique datapoint to use to identify you.

15:30 Glad you mentioned this MatPat, because as someone who uses neural networks as a profession (though admittedly I deal with words more than images), this was the immediate problem I saw. They're making all these claims about obscuring your face, but any facial recognition software that doesn't care about dogs or whatever is gonna ignore those sweaters and just identify the human faces with full precision and accuracy. Further, even if it WAS a facial recognition network, they'd only be fooling that one specific model. Even a slightly different model might be completely unaffected. I'm all for research continuing though - existing in public is dramatically more invasive than it used to be even just 20 years ago.

I deal with computer vision in my line of work, Mat Pat was right for an arguably wrong reason. YOLO itself isnt the problem, its the dataset it was trained on. YOLO is just a really popular object detection framework, what matter is the dataset that it was trained on. The company making dog shirts to fool an AI trained on the COCO dataset (I would assume) do nothing to an AI trained specifically on human images, it has no idea what a dog even is.

3:51 Ah yes, there's nothing like sticking it to the man and deliberately messing up their plans as a method to get them to not notice you. I often find the more painful a thorn I am in someone's side the more they ignore me. And that's not saying sticking it to the man is necessarially bad, just if your desired outcome is to be more unnoiticeable it seems to me like you're going about it in completely the wrong way.

Alternate hypothesis: wear clothing full of people's faces on it (I was expecting you to consider that after you showed the license plate jacket) 🤔 I guess that's kinda what the sweater with eyes on it (at 11:14) is doing.

I'm probably being captured on security cameras so many more times since theres like 60 different cameras at my workplace

I barely leave my house so those numbers are definitely wrong in my case.

12:42 a solution to these things is making two neural networks work in concert One separates the face of any human from their clothing (any clothing like experimenting with the capable clothing and reading up on how they did it) Then they pass those faces through the facial recognition

So what you're saying is, there might be a practical reason to wear a Ahegao Hoodie

I think sometimes it comes down more to lack of trust for the average, non-celebrity. For example, how accurate are these facial scanners in high traffic areas? If there's a chance these systems could misidentify someone else as me, do we have enough trust in the human authorities to dig a little deeper and verify that it wasn't actually me, but someone who looked enough like me to ping in the system? For a lot of ppl, the answer is no. And if that mistake happens during a crime investigation, for example, the stakes are a lot higher than just ad companies tracking your shopping habits. Idk the odds of that happening, but I can't shame someone for having that concern. It is newish tech, after all.

6:02 Me as a German am really interested in the system of the plates Can someone explain to me how the american license plates are supposed to be read?

11:43 yeah but that woman is only 55% a person according to the AI too and she's not wearing an anti-AI shirt :P

So, crime shows (film theory follow up?) have had some camera beating tricks. Including one that had an light (2 led? from 2 low angles) shine on the criminals face rendering it unseeable to the cameras

I still like the designs thow. I would wear them because I think they look cool.
