Israel has deployed a mass facial recognition program in the Gaza Strip, creating a database of Palestinians without their knowledge or consent, The New York Times reports. The program, which was created after the October 7th attacks, uses technology from Google Photos as well as a custom tool built by the Tel Aviv-based company Corsight to identify people affiliated with Hamas.

    Its not that far off. We’ll see exactly what I said soon enough. You can put a virus or worm inside an image in an email. You can do the same thing with a tattoo. Its unfortunate it will be here so far before the superhuman cybernetics.

        Are you implying you can’t use steganography techniques on real objects and images? You act like I stated it would be easy.

            Just because you said this wouldn’t work like SQL Injection, does not mean it won’t. You don’t know either. Have you worked on facial recognition databases? How do they store their data? Its most likely just a database. Then I would start by looking at steganography techniques to see how those can be applied. Obviously I’m not hiding an executable in there, but I don’t see why you couldn’t try for unsanitized input, you never know. Now if you want to continue into realism, you would just wear a full face mask outside. You also never answered my question about steganography.

                So they’re just storing all this facial data unencoded somewhere? Theres no way to figure that out? There is no sort of encoding/decoding going on with the facial data at all? Its impossible chief back it up the bots won? I don’t think so man. People are gonna find all sorts of ways to fuck with this. Now you can join in the speculation or get expactorating all over this post. The choice is your’s.

      Sounds like a great time to start a costume & mask making company named “The ministry of silly walks”.
