This is very awesome and a GREAT use of AI.
I remember learning a great word years ago when various tools were being considered/used to monitor the so-called “authorities” like cops and so on, and it’s:
sousveillance
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sousveillance
And this is a perfect example of it.
“This tool supports law enforment by verifying that masked individuals commiting crimes while refusing to identify themselves are actual ICE agents rather than just imposters.”
We need the SETI version of this, where we can collectively provide compute for the cause.
UnMaski@Home? I’ve got GPU and CPU power to donate.
NAZI@Home would be pretty apt, plus visually similar in text.
People might not be thrilled at installing something with that name though, lol.
Could it stand for something plausible? The Non Anonymization of Zionists Initiative?
could probably roll something based of the kobold horde code for doing collective compute if anyone has the magic combination of determination and ability
or like with protein folding: unmasking at home
I mean they are the ones that wanted no guardrails on AI. They want all the benefits but none of the downsides and I’m sure they’ll prove that in the next couple weeks.
ICE did not comment on the accuracy of Skinner’s purported identifications, but in a statement, ICE spokesperson Tanya Roman said that the masks “are for safety, not secrecy”
says the party of covid deniers
It’s just laughable. The safety is literally the secrecy. Or vice-versa. They’re keeping themselves, secret, keeping themselves safe. Every one of of them should be doxxed.
“I can’t breathe with a mask on” 🤡
Weren’t there statistics saying gaiters weren’t really effective for filtering? Also, the whole point of wearing a mask to not let you spread anything?
the mask yes matters more that it helps if the person themselves has it, from spreading it to others. but still does offer a level of protection for yourself (not to the same degree as the sick person wearing it).
Wearing a mask is like a rampant person running around peeing. If the person peeing is wearing pants, it blocks most of the urine from spreading. If you wear pants, it still offers a level of protection more than if you chose to not wear pants to avoid the pee.
The reason why it was important for covid is that there are many asymptomatic carriers, so unless you can prove to everyone around you that you DIDN’T have it without wearing a mask, you should be treated as potentially having it.
An activist has started using artificial intelligence to identify Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents beneath their masks — a use of the technology sparking new political concerns over AI-powered surveillance.
So now they’re worried about surveillance? Spy on the entire population and it’s fine, but hold a cop accountable and all of a sudden surveillance is a “political concern”.
The entirety of conservatism is “there must be in groups for laws to protect but not bind, and out groups for laws to bind but not protect”. That’s pretty much it. Everything else follows from that. Facts don’t matter. Consistency doesn’t matter. They are shitty people. Cartoon villains
Yeah of course. Same reason we can only have nuclear power to run AI data centers but not for residential power.
Wait till you hear about flock cameras
Heard about them the other day thanks to Benn Jordan.
Thanks. I hate it.
Pretty excited to try out an adversarial license plate cover though. At least, until they make them
illegalonly for members of the police benevolents association.
So, this leads me to believe that our politicians are getting blackmailed all over the place, not to mention bribed. I do wish he would make his own security cameras like nest or ring, I would buy that shit in a heartbeat.
I’m starting to think this is a worldwide issue and we are slowly reaching the climax of global society. Governments and US politicians caving to Trump, the slow adoption of authoritarian laws, the increase of mass surveillance around the world, governments denying genocide when they see it, politicians ignoring the public, and so many more issues. I feel like every world leader has blackmail on every other world leader and we are just waiting to see who gets exposed first. And when that does happen, I expect a domino effect of things akin to the Epstein files being exposed as every world leader gets their dirty secrets leaked one after the other.
I think the blackmail theory may be overly charitable. Maybe we’re just surrounded by billionaires and politicians who really believe in authoritarian fascism.
I don’t think blackmail is needed. These are ambitious people who won’t let anything get in the way of thier success. To them, ignoring genocide is just a way to curry favor. (That can’t be the right curry, can it?)
ICE agents “don’t deserve to be hunted online by activists using AI,”
ICE agents “

Finally, a useful application of AI 😝
Whelp now they’re going to let the AI bubble burst
Dox every one of them.
It’s not doxing, it’s documenting
You know, for the Vancouver trials (or wherever we end up having them)
Exactly. Police are public property, as are federal employees, they are on our payroll, they didn’t get to be anonymous.
Also true, but also this just isn’t doxing. This isn’t revealing personal information from people on the Internet, this is identifying people doing things in the real world
If you kidnap someone, it’s not doxing to identify you on the news or on Twitter. It’s literally identifying criminals
Public servants lol, not public property. This country did at least manage to ban most forms of slavery. Most.
Washington CAN do something about it. Remove the masks. The more they mask up, the more people should as well.
