Yeah this is just an ad.

And this guy's website is covered in AI slop.

No way this is going mainstream, that's way too expensive. The style is interesting, but not enough to be compelling.

Anything that does not physically cover the face and conceal its shape will not help you.

This will confuse absolutely nothing.

This is just a grift. The sort of person wealthy enough to buy this is also the sort of person who will never have anything to hide from the state, so it'll never actually be tested (and probably says in the fine print that it doesn't actually do anything). If there was an actual affordable clothing brand that confused cameras every western government would've already made it illegal.

Marketing. Capitalists create the problem & other capitalists sell the solution.

It's still a camera recording. They can just have a human look at the footage if the AI produces unusual predictions.

There is no way for you to check if this even remotely works against current models used by Flock or Palantir.

This shit barely worked to confuse models 7 years ago.

They've got makeup to fight facial recognition software too

I love that it's "adversarial" to not want to have your face entered into a database and to have your location tracked at every moment of the day against your will.

I'm sure specific and expensive "adversarial" clothing brands are a gimmick for now, but people will easily discover cheap and fashionable ways to subvert the surveillance state that may well become popular later on.

Personally, I'm waiting for burkhas to catch on among liberal crackers
