Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

‘Make this face look gay’: AI models alter faces to give people stereotypical ‘gay,’ ‘straight’ or ‘criminal’ features (theconversation.com)

The models introduced stereotypes when they generated images, and they resorted to stereotypes when they reasoned about the images. As a final test, we asked the models to render people as if they had, or did not have, a criminal record. GPT and Gemini complied more than 97% of the time. Sure enough, the resulting “criminal” and “noncriminal” images were systematically altered in a way that the image classifier could detect.

AI is worse than useless junk...

Also cue Sam Altman claiming this is proof AI can read minds just by seeing a picture of someone.

The phrenology and physiognomy come along with the "race science" as a package.
