What the NUTZ #156

World's ugliest Hawaiian shirt.

There can't be just one because there is so many.

Let me tell you.

I knew you were going to say that.

All right.

The world's ugliest Hawaiian shirt was designed to make you invisible to AI surveillance.

How dumb.

They must have like a QR code sending the camera to fucking a fuck off screen every time.

Jeez.

German designer Simon Weckert has created a summer shirt with a seemingly abstract pattern that actually works as camouflage for AI powered surveillance.

Yep.

Good name.

Weckert.

Weckert.

That's all you heard was whacker,

huh?

Yeah.

Fucking Luke.

Luke is like you.

The aptly named digital camouflage may look like a hideous Hawaiian shirt, but its seemingly abstract pattern was created with a very specific purpose in mind, to prevent AI-powered CCTV cameras from recognizing the wearer as a person.

Hmm.

AI systems are made of multiple layers and never learned what a human is.

They learned what humans statistically look like in millions of training images.

Uh... simon wecker the shirts creator explained in the early layers it wedges it edges contrast and texture gradients deeper in the network it's part like uh it's part like patterns The head and shoulder silhouette, the proportion of limbs against the torso, and the continuity of a body outline against the background.

A person.
