“Mildly”

Govt surveillance is mildly disturbing

JESUS CHRIST It’s Jason Bourne!

Would be funny if the face under the mask is the same.

[удалено]

You mean like this?

A mask of my own face, I’d wear that

I think you mean like

Do you remember as a kid flipping your eyelids? The reminds me of that.

Didn’t every kid that did that go to jail?

I remember hating the kids that did...

You can flip your eyelids?!

Some things are universal across the world: love, hate, anger, gentleness...

I was never able to :(

There was this one guy in my school van would flip his eyelids and I would get so scared of him. Looked too creepy. He would sometimes flip it and then randomly poke his head from under the seat. shudders

hahaha never knew how to do that, but my grandma was doing it to scare me. I was so afraid when she did that, and she was just laughing at me. she was a great woman 😄

My optician does that to me at every checkup and it just feels awful. I don't know why anyone does it for fun.

"Sir, you're not allowed in the shop without a mask on"

Our skin is a covering for our meat.

“Sir, I think both you and the dread pirate roberts are misunderstanding the primary goal of the mask policy.”

There's a passage in the amazing podcast Wind Of Change where they interview a former CIA officer who describes herself as the equivalent of Q in James Bond.

I would imagine she had to run that by the secret service first, that’s insane.

Believe this is the woman, and holy crap, they do it better.

Imagine if she showed that to the current president. The tweet about it would be insane.

She took her face off? Like in Face Off?!

I listened to Wind of Change and not sure what I’m supposed to do, but I feel like bringing upon the collapse of my government.

The one about the Scorpions song?

It was a pretty good podcast, glad Spotify is putting out interesting and original content. One minor gripe is I couldn’t stand how Patrick says the A on the end of CIA.

Do you have the link to that episode? I search and see like five Wind of Change podcasts

Didn't she also do an AMA?

I looked it up in my podcast app. Is it about the fall of the Soviet Union and the Visas involvement

Which wind of change, there’s like 5 of them

There's a display about that meeting at The Spy Museum in DC, I was just there this week. Theyve got a photo of the mask, but the mask itself is still in CIA possession.

There's also an exhibit on this story in the Spy Museum in DC! Which is an awesome museum right next to a really cool area btw. Definitely worth checking out once we're out of the end times

I have been raving about this podcast to everyone I know! A little slow on the start, but absolutely fascinating.

I heard that whole podcast, too, and it’s exactly what came to mind when I saw this as well. Cheers!

She was on To Tell the Truth a while back too.

I think I saw her interview on wired youtube. She did alot of interesting things.

Thanks for the tip!

Great suggestion! Check out ISpy too if you like ‘real spy’s telling real stories’

I'm hearing good ole HW saying, "What the fuck" in my head.

[удалено]

The eyes give it away, but still very convincing

Anyone who believes in lizard people would freak the fuck out if they passed that guy normally in the street.

People around the world buy this mask and go around committing crimes with this mask. Meanwhile the model it’s based on is sitting at home eating cereal when the police barge in and charge him with armed robbery in 4 different countries in the span of a week and 10 murders. “You’re going away for a long time you sick fuck!”

Trying to get Tim Poole in trouble

All he'd have to do to disguise himself would be to remove the beanie.

Fun fact: Tim used to wear a mask all the time, but now the mask is off.

LOL that was exactly my first thought

Pim Tool

For those of you stating that unless the person is doing something illegal the GOV has no reason to track them you're 100% wrong.

I know is almost impossible these days not to be a data mine but damn, things are going Big Brother so fast is scary. Awesome comment.

What abuses have we seen?

Its interesting that you worked in the field of biometric collection.

AND the security of that data isn't nearly as good as the government would like you to believe.

They won't track me if I'm doing nothing wrong.

If he is not walking like the people of the ministry of silly walks, it's useless as software is able to determine who you are by

"I have a pebble in my shoe, it's fine" -dude in clothes he's worn in public pictures on facebook with a smart phone and a smart tv who googled directions to the protest

A pebble in the shoe accounts for that nicely according to a former CIA officer who trained and developed countersurveilance techniques.

Can i trick this with wearing uncomfortable shoes with a small sharp stone in it? That would make my gait different enough. Asking for a friend obviously.

I doubt it's vry accurate if you have 1000 people going around daily.

Commentary and evasion tactics against this technology

Or rob a bank with your autistic brother

Good Time (2017), my favorite movie of all time

Damn, Rainman 2 got wild.

Was he autistic? He seemed to have a kind of learning disability iirc

Fast scrolling I thought that was Tim Pool

Billy corgan

Can’t believe I had to scroll down so far for this!

The skin-mask has more personality though.

Of Tim Pool?

Reminds me of the movie 'Minority Report', when Tom Cruise's character has to undergo eye transplant surgery and turn his face temporarily into mush in order to avoid the city's face recognition tech.

Or the other Tom cruise movie: Mission Impossible. Where he also does this.

Gait recognition already exists. It's quite effective, it can't be fooled by trying to walk strangely as it is based partially on the placement of your bones and muscles.

Its easy to imagine strapping on some "bone prosthetics" that subtlety change your geometry.

Yup, full body analysis will be right along.

Just put some small rocks in your shoes.

Roller skates?

Gait detection can be fooled by just slightly changing your leg movements.

Advanced algorithms can also identify you by your clothes, height, posture, gait, destinations and other personal characteristics. It's truly insidious, and we need widescale protections against these surveillance techniques sooner rather than later.

So what I am hear wear zebra print and platform shoes and stand and strut like a pimp.

I think these technologies would need a lot of film on you to analyse your particular characteristics. They are not something that could be quickly or easily used against random people. You can also change your gait with mechanical aids - heel lifts, a pebble in your shoe, a bandage on your knee, etc. The real reason President Trump had trouble walking down that ramp was because he is using 2" lifts inside his shoes. He walks like woman in high heels because he is in high heels.

this is our future and it's depressing

It’s our present, and most people don’t seem to care.

Our future? Speak for yourself, I don't intend to walk around with a mask.

Pretty sure that’s a serial killer.

That’s way more realistic than I expected. Anyone know how much something like that would cost?

Look up the price of silicone masks - based on quality and extras (e.g., implanted hairs) they generally run $300-$1000+

I want to take his face..off.

I could also eat a peach all day.

I’m Castor Troy!

aboringdystopia

This isn’t boring though

Tim Pool?

It legit looks like a person that's undergone a whole face transplant

This gives me manhunter vibes (Hannabil Lecter)

He's running late for his appointment down in the uncanny Valley.

If he’s interviewing for a robot job, he won’t get it.

As a black man, I must get one of these.

as soon as you put it on your credit rating goes up 50 points

1984 is happening and the world isn't doing enough.

I think this one's a bit more realistic.

Tim Pool

Where can you buy a tim poole mask?

Oooooh my mask!!

Looks like Joel Edgerton.

Looks EXACTLY like Tim Pool

Yo dog. We heard you like eyes. So we put eyes into your eyes.

Fake Billy.

Had the same thought immediately.

As a cork man I had a good chuckle spotting this

I'm gonna get one of those made of myself, but with 25 years shaved off. See if maybe I can grab Linda's attention again like I did back... well, 25 years ago.

That's just Tim Pool.

Tim Poole?

But when I wear somebody else’s face it’s “psychotic” and “an abomination” and I’m some “evil lunatic”. Dual standards in this world.

This is the urme prosthetic.

Might become a new norm once everyone is tracked

Then they make it a crime and if you got caught using a mask in public you go to jail... Very easy to solve.

Tim Pool?

It's the Tim Pool podcast.

What about his eyes? Curious

His eyes are photon receptors.

D Y S T O P I A

Cardinal Copia et al. wear one of these, as seen

Sorry for being a nitpicking SoB, but that's Papa Emeritus II without the skull paint. Cardinal Copia has hair as seen in

If you wear the face mask everywhere, then isnt that defeating the purpose?

Just a serial killer wearing his victims face, nothing to see her, keep on scrolling...

Creepy

From a distance it looks pretty good

Pretty sure this is just a photograph of a lizard person in disguise.

Looks like Tim Pool

There once was a man who could hide,

Is that Dwight Schrute learning how to give CPR?

God forbid if I ever go to China, I'll need one of these. Fuck the CCP.

Tim Pool?

Imagine being chased by twenty people all wearing this face.

Tim Pool?

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

genius

Do you have an article on this?

I would drown in my own sweat wearing this

will be common in the future

Damn, I can't see fuckin' shit outta this thing. Hold on I'm fuckin' with my eye holes.

aboringdystopia

Gross

Billy Corgan

CCC monitoring station: "No match on this person on (insert street name) Pick them up for questioning.

Thought this was a first image of the live-action Polar Express remake.

So if someone goes up to him for not wearing a mask...

A guy has no face.

It might not even be a person.

Stupid question but wouldn’t facial recognition recognize that the was a mask and be able to find it on the next camera ... so ok we don’t know who it is but hey he’s right there

like those people from the Walking Dead who where Walker's skin to camouflage into the hordes

Gob wearing a Tony Wonder mask or Tony Wonder wearing a Gob mask?

Oh my god it’s Jason Bourne!

He should still wear a mask.

We should be able to walk around anonymously

Unfortunately for the wearer, the CCTV camera identified the person as Uyghur and is presently being re-educated at a fine Han facility.

Will never work in the future. If someone isnt recognised, he will just become a suspect

So this is going to be a new thing in future

Ice age baby? Is that you?

I read somewhere that you can also be tracked according to your gait, so this guy/girl may want to put a knee splint to throw off the authorities.

That's pretty creepy

Twist: the mask is modeled after his own face

The problem is that they already have other biometric tracking systems that can identify a person based on their gait. I know it sounds ridiculous, but our stride is as individual as our fingerprint, and is easily recognizable.

Just shit yourself and your gait will be naturally altered

The future is horrible.

I want one. Does the mouth open when he talks?

If not you can just pretend you've had lots of facial reconstruction surgery

Well that's creepy as shit

just do this no need for a mask

How long until governments everywhere make it illegal to own/wear one of these?

Tim pool has never looked so authentic

Imagine if the face was recognized as someone else and got arrested thinking it was you.

Mission impossible irl made me scare

Now we can all have an alien robot face a totally normal hoomannn face like Mark Zuckerbot ahem Zuckerberg.

Put a mask on your mask so you don't look suspicious.

Andy Ngo disguised as Tim Pool

Oh hey it's billy corgan

What can the average person to do to combat facial recognition?

In memory of the OG face mask wearer - Leatherface.

We can’t even handle cloth masks, but I’m sure the doomsdayers will be lining up to wear these.

Is that Tim pool?

I was looking for a new fetish...

Is this a Tim Poole disguise?

Actually, that’s Tim Pool.

Vanilla Sky 2?
