• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Can Tell Your Political Affiliation Just by Looking at Your Face, Researchers Find⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We demonstrate that political orientation can be predicted from neutral facial images by both humans and algorithms, even when factors like age, gender, and ethnicity are accounted for. This indicates a connection between political leanings and inherent facial characteristics, which are largely beyond an individual’s control. Our findings underscore the urgency for scholars, the public, and policymakers to recognize and address the potential risks of facial recognition technology to personal privacy.

  “peer-reviewed” bullshit.

  I like the testing and hopefully they will share more detailed research findings in the next 6months. Especially on content moderation knowing they have decades of experience on this.

  What is the obsession with numbers? Centralization mentality is the problem. The idea that unless 5 Billion people are on a network will it be “successful” denies the joys of effective and sustainable networks. I really honestly wouldn’t want to see a fediverse server with more than 100K daily active users. I would rather have 10 instances of 10K active users.

  Meta and those billionaire centrists can go fuck themselves.

  Me, deep in the night, reading about modem signals and off the hook. I love forum threads. They have taught me more than I can imagine.

  your treatment on the web depends on whether Apple says your device, OS & browser configuration are legitimate & acceptable.
