“They have not only demonstrated their point but also unintentionally provided a blueprint for malicious individuals on how to weaponize readily available tools,” PimEyes Director Giorgi Gobronidze told Biometric Update.
That’s a bold take from the guy selling those “readily available tools”, doubly so given that what the researchers have done here is less the work of an evil mastermind and more a totally self-evident thing you could do with that tool. The same UI literally exists in Terminator 2, it’s not like this was unexpected now the tech exists…

I'm gonna start selling burqas with pockets with a faraday-cage insert, reflective hoods with anti-camera infrared LEDs, and optional water-cooled brazier.
I'm sure I'll get raided and disappeared before the first preorders go out.
This sentence is hilarious, and also sad because of how possible it could be I wonder if there any covert technology that could counter these meta glasses. I feel like not, as it would likely...

You ever shine an IR remote at your phone camera? Now put one that's 5x as powerful one either side if your face. It's pretty covert to human eyes if you mount them nicely in some frames, or maybe...
You ever shine an IR remote at your phone camera? Now put one that's 5x as powerful one either side if your face. It's pretty covert to human eyes if you mount them nicely in some frames, or maybe as hair clips.
Won't be covert to anybody using a camera, but they sure as shit won't be able to identify you with their AR device.
The only other option is full face cover, ideally with a randomly-varying height adjustment. Even less subtle unless you get at least 10% of the population doing it.
I got these neat Daft Punk helmets for Halloween, they're large enough to put some anti-surviellance gear in them.
I just did some light research on PimEyes... they have 0 moral high ground to be upset. I tried to opt out of their stupid image search database and they require a picture of your photo ID to opt...
I just did some light research on PimEyes... they have 0 moral high ground to be upset. I tried to opt out of their stupid image search database and they require a picture of your photo ID to opt out, no other sleazy "people lookup" site does this shit (probably because its illegal.) What a huge piece of shit company.

I don’t suppose you’ve read The Light of Other Days recently, by any chance?
No but it's in the queue now!
