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
“I can’t breathe with a mask on” 🤡
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.
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?
A well-sealed respirator mask like an N95 filters inhalation and exhalation extremely well.
Via https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2769443 :
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.
Thus, a world where we don’t protect each other is like an ouroboros of peeing Calvin stickers.
This doesn’t unmask them. It produces hallucinations of what the AI dreams the person might look like, and then feeds it into another system to see if that artwork looks close to any other photo online.
Do this an infinite number of times, and every person with a photo online is identidied as an ICE agent.
Skinner acknowledged that the technology is flawed, and he said that about that 60 percent of the AI-generated results and facial recognition searches lead to wrong matches on social media profiles
Yep
so, like all other AI slop.
Finally, a useful application of AI 😝
Whelp now they’re going to let the AI bubble burst
ICE agents “don’t deserve to be hunted online by activists using AI,” said Sen. James Lankford (R-Okla.), who chairs the Senate Homeland Security subcommittee on border management and the federal workforce.
Get wrecked, James.
ETA: James, WHAT COUNTRY DOES OKLAHOMA BORDER?
Shut the fuck up.
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?
LOL yeah, I think that probably wouldn’t fly 😂
or like with protein folding: unmasking at home
could probably roll something based of the kobold horde code for doing collective compute if anyone has the magic combination of determination and ability
“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.”
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.

This is going to get a lot of innocent people hurt due to false-positives :(
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.
Washington CAN do something about it. Remove the masks. The more they mask up, the more people should as well.
Sure they can: they can order the ICE domestic terrorists to go unmasked - no way to unmask them with AI.
And while they’re at it, they can make them wear pseudonymous identifiers.
In a law and order state (by meaning and not only name) this would be a given. The difference from it tells a lot.Pretty typical “the answer is no” to a click bait title that asks a question.

Betteridge’s law of headlines
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.
Yes, yes they can.
They can eat a bag of dicks.
Fucking proud boys.
