Lmao they source the photos from LinkedIn profiles. I’m sure that didn’t bias their training at all. Yes sir there’s no chance this thing is selecting for anything but facial features.
Edit: double lmao they’re all MBAs
Edit2: they didn’t even train the AI!! this paper is them just feeding linkedin photos into a third-party black-box API and then nodding thoughtfully at the results. i cant tell you how stupid the AI is because I can’t find any information about it or even the API mentioned in the paper.
Wow. When I saw the article I figured it would be bad, but that’s even worse than I expected lol
What is it with these idiots trying to re-brand racism and reinvent phrenology every few decades? Are they stupid enough to believe they’re the first to think of shit like this, or are they hoping we’re dumb enough to fall for it this time around?
