Lmao I didn't had "bypassing corpo surveillance with a vtuber software" on my 2026 bingo
And thus begins the three-legged race between imaged-based age verification and kids. (Prediction: the kids will win, but it will take the other side a looooong time to admit it.)
The winners will be the middle men selling fixes for the fixes.
paywalled shit
this is the tool https://github.com/promptpirate-x/discord-id-bypass-tool
FOSS
Pick the best replacement option and run with it.
You gotta sell your friends and/or fam on it, though
The issue here is going to be discord users picking one, en masse.
Have they learned nothing since people used screenshots of death stranding the first this technology was used on a major platform?
If it works with such basic 3d models then what is stopping people from using an ai generated or stolen picture?
Kinda makes me think the goal is not to keep kids safe, its to avoid accountability when kids end up not being safe.
It was not screenshots. The entire point of the Death Stranding thing was that you had a live camera feed of a face that passes the "liveliness" checks that prevent you from using static pictures.
Oh that detail is a TIL
I saw someone painted their thumb with basic facial lineament and they move their thumb when the prompt asks for it. It guesses that as 13-15 years old, even though the paint has a beard. lol
Cool that it is possible but I rather ditch Discord when this is forced upon me.
The companies get to fulfill their legal obligation, and the kids who can figure it out unlock the reward of an uncensored community. No one’s IDs are compromised in the process.
Win / win?
Stupid people will still be either censored or get their info leaked, and we have to live in a society with them.
Think about the poor politicians /s
how about just NOT using discord?
Did these people forget Vtubers exist? Using a camera/Vr goggles to map one face to another? It's just going to need a phone app, a good 3d model and shader generator, and a big screen and you can be whoever you want.
Even faster if they use AI filters.
Someone had made a bypass hack that didn't even need 3D anything, only generated metadata, but the ID vendor has patched it: https://age-verifier.kibty.town/

Here you go, mates.
That‘s honestly less surprising or impressive than people using Death Stranding for that.
The…sims? We are fighting this rot with the sims basically?
Alright. But how do we stop the AI spyware from constantly monitoring our activity?
Might not be an issue for me since I'm using the flatpak of Vesktop, but getting all my none-technical friends to move away from Discord will be pain.
Good. And lets hope it's not even the only one.
