SYAC: no pictures of the actual vehicle in this article, just stock images of Flock cameras. How incompetent of a journalist do you have to be to fail to include a picture of the thing your article is about?

Here is an article that actually shows the wrap on the car:
https://www.techspot.com/news/113418-cybersecurity-researcher-covered-toyota-ai-generated-pattern-confuse.html

It looks like this:

And here is a link to the mentioned Kickstarter campaign, which the Yahoo article also fails to provide:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/norecognition/norecognition-ai-adversarial-clothing/description

The campaign doesn't mention the car at all, which is a little odd. You'd think they'd be using the media attention.

I also want to share a link to a previous post about this project:
https://piefed.social/c/privacy@lemmy.world/p/2288321/anti-flock-anti-ring-ai-adversarial-clothing-demo-d-blackhat-defcon

My opinion is still the same as in that discussion - I don't think a static pattern is going to be effective for very long.

Is the word “Donut” kryptonite to Flock?

They'll call it Car Camouflage and tell MAGA it's for terrorists or something I bet
