This is Rakesh, he runs a used books stall in Andheri, Mumbai where you can rent a book for ₹10.
When asked if he earns enough doing this, he responded in a way that qualifies him to be what I call an avid reader.
His response was -"People earn so they can spend money on something they want. I am already surrounded by the one thing I always wanted to have".
For me, he is one of the finest avid readers as he is far from distractions of life and doing the one thing that satisfies him the most.
Drop a heart for him❤️
Hey everyone tomorrow there is a new challenge on https://t.co/gyBeWNFsz3. Every day we will draw a portrait of an artists that inspired us. Both contemporary and artist from the past. It can include, musicians, sculptors, your nephew Jake as long as they inspired your art! Hope to see you there!
A Berlin artist made a shirt that makes you invisible to AI surveillance cameras. Like, the camera sees everyone else but skips right over you.
The pattern looks like a loud Hawaiian shirt to humans. But to AI detection systems, it breaks the outline of a human body so completely that the model can't register a person is there.
He built it by testing patterns against YOLO until the AI stopped seeing a human. Now he's selling it for $75.
If his name sounds familiar same guy who tricked Google Maps into showing a fake traffic jam by pulling 99 phones through an empty street in 2020.
It won't fool every system. But the government systems watching you are closed, proprietary, and impossible to test independently. The shirt is the question. The system that can't be questioned is the problem.
