I got this reCaptcha on archive.is and it is too ironic not to share.

    i wonder how much longer i’ll be able to move about without face detection being able to spot me because my complexion is too dark.

      Not for much longer. Everything is going to be based on facial recognition soon. The only way to fix it is to ban the thing altogether.

        in the very recent past facial recognition didn’t work well if your complexion was dark enough and mine is, but i don’t know if that’s true anymore.

          It depends on how good the camera and the software are. They’re constantly getting better. And if the software is complex enough, even wearing a mask won’t help because the software may tag and track you because you’re different to everyone else in that case.

            i hope that the spirit of capitalism in my country will create entire industries of masks, makeups, and glasses that are capable of defeating face recognition.

              Nah there’s no market for that really and it’s also illegal in some countries (idk about the US).

                not yet and that’s why the black market and the dark web exist.

                it’s impossible for the human eyes to detect that your glasses or your makeup is capable of reflecting the light that face recognition needs to identify you; at least for now.
