Motherboard livestream discussing the article with a bit more info
In 2013, researchers at the University of North Carolina, Wilmington (UNCW) published a facial recognition dataset consisting of more than 1 million images of trans people who had uploaded videos of their medical transition to YouTube. The researchers used the videos without the explicit permission of their owners, and with the stated goal of training facial recognition systems to recognize people before and after they start Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).
Ricanek justified the experiment with an extreme and virtually impossible scenario: terrorists using HRT to avoid facial recognition and sneak across borders undetected.
They're seriously making a clocking bot. May god, Satan, or I don't care who smite these fuckers
It seriously wont work. Humans are too similar looking to be absolutely accurate on that. Legit for a lot of people, the only way you can tell are breasts and long/short hair
yeah, that weird terf app (Giggle I think?) just ended up excluding a whole lot of cis women with its algorithm
every time terfs try doing something like that, it always ends up with the same outcome, because it turns out gender phrenology isn't actually real, shockingly
Androgynous cis people definitely outnumber trans people :shrug-outta-hecks:
I've said it before, but a single nuke to the silicon valley could do so much good for humanity.
Jihadists can be cis women too!!!!! Why would someone go through HRT if they can get some woman to do it instead. :lenin-rage:
We need to pickle chud brains and figure out how they got like that
Ricanek justified the experiment with an extreme and virtually impossible scenario
More like an extreme and virtually impossible to consensually attain fetish on the part of the "researcher." :disgost:
