DELUSION — is it a Face ?
This is a funny photo. It supposed to have a face there.
Can you see it ? —–( it is the pattern on the cushion )
It was one of the ” face” picked up by the Google Picasa,
Face Recognition Program.
——————–
As I’ve collected 20,000 photo of faces ( well, lots of them came
together with legs, boobs etc) and I’m sorting them by the
type of face and eyes, ears etc.
( Incidentally, to see the person changing the face, body shape,
in spate of 4~5 (?) years, giving me a chilling feeling of harsh reality,
Nothing stays the Same—— and think, what will they do next, after 5 years time ? ? ? )
To have the Face Recognition Program was not my choice. It came automatic as an up-date. Though, it is
using my CPU without my permission. I’ve tried to remove it though, it is a part of Picasa 3 (and old version
had gone ) and I couldn’t pinpoint which part of program file is doing this.—– ( Google may planning to create
another Social Net-working System to compete with Facebook ( which I hate most ) in the near future ).
Anyhow, as they cropped faces and asking me to name the person, I clicked (may be ) 30,000 times
” Ignore ” and deleted all of them except about 30 ” faces ” which is a sheer mistake such as the one here.
In certain extent, this program was well designed as it made only 0.1% mistakes.—– Beyond here, its
needs to have a human brain ——- though, wait a moment, our brain makes as much as mistakes.
——- When I was small, I was disturbed by a pattern of knot on a wooden panel of the ceiling, as it looks
a man’s fearsome face. Once an image was registered in the brain as a face, it always looks as a face.
———- It is interesting to see, even an artificial digital image processing makes same kind of mistakes.
In Buddhist term, this is the Delusion and a cause of paranoia though, as it was a very useful brain function
of data integration / filling the gap of information by fuzzy logic —— not exact but somewhat likely
judgement —– this kind of mistakes are inevitable.
Most of the case, it is just ” Ha, Ha, Funny ” but time to time, it might led to a serious consequence.
Stay cool, stay objective is the secret to stay in Peace.
As the mater of fact, more than half of the personal trouble was caused by oneself and one’s mind.
