“That is the artisan model of the occult — a retail service for meaning, delivered one client at a time. The chatbot industrializes that model.“

T-Shirts have become a facial recognition threat, a new study shows how to stop it | Biometric Update
A new paper from a group of researchers at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences shows a way to prevent these cheap and effective presentation attacks.
