i’m late to post this…!
there are all the techniques known since 2019 about disabling surveillance cameras
takeaway:

1. disrupting the camera itself
   1.a) wearing reflexes around your head
   1.b) shining blinding lights into the cameras

2. disrupting the gen AI calculations
   2.a) shining small infra-red lights onto your face, which makes you appear as someone else completely
   2.b) wearing face patterns all over your clothing
   2.c) wearing pins which make the AI hallucinate once processing the pin’s image

3. disrupting the recognition of personhood
   3.a) goggles or glasses to cover eyes & nose region of face, where the most data points are.

adding this litterature next to Martin Luther King for my re-take on christianity as something good.

i feel you! though not for relationships, in fact it’s principally discouraged (i moved off the website and met my long-distance girlfriend here however) the open-source “chat with random people” website mero.chat is a curated space for all people that are lonely!

explicit awareness and pro-active curation has fostered a really wonderful community. i highly encourage you to chat with some people on mero.chat and just see if you feel less lonely =)

that’s the good part of my comment. the bad part is i felt like you did for years, it’s alot and i feel you. there’s guaranteed to be people just like you feeling just as isolated- so glad to see you post about this because of that!

thanks! looking into JED now
