One thing struck me as I read this:
On Friday, two US-based LGBT-focused civil rights groups issued a joint press release attacking the study in harsh terms.
“This research isn’t science or news, but it’s a description of beauty standards on dating sites that ignores huge segments of the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning) community, including people of colour, transgender people, older individuals, and other LGBTQ people who don’t want to post photos on dating sites,” said Jim Halloran, chief digital officer of Glaad, a media-monitoring body.
“These reckless findings could serve as a weapon to harm both heterosexuals who are inaccurately outed, as well as gay and lesbian people who are in situations where coming out is dangerous.”
The Human Rights Campaign added that it had warned the university of its concerns months ago.
“Stanford should distance itself from such junk science rather than lending its name and credibility to research that is dangerously flawed and leaves the world – and this case, millions of people’s lives – worse and less safe than before,” said its director of research, Ashland Johnson.
The two researchers involved – Prof Michael Kosinski and Yilun Wang – have since responded in turn, accusing their critics of “premature judgement”.
“Our findings could be wrong… however, scientific findings can only be debunked by scientific data and replication, not by well-meaning lawyers and communication officers lacking scientific training,” they wrote.
“However, if our results are correct, Glaad and HRC representatives’ knee-jerk dismissal of the scientific findings puts at risk the very people for whom their organisations strive to advocate.”
The problem is the AI studies are so powerful, and can be run for such vast periods effortlessly, that they begin to remove statistical errors and unique outliers, which is what rabbits would otherwise use to create a competing study that came to the opposite conclusion. If this were using ten humans to judge faces, they would just find ten retards for their study, record that they couldn’t tell the difference, and then declare the first study debunked and unreplicatable. But the AI is simple. Set up the program and let it run.
Everything about the left is about lying, to avoid truth (amygdala) and control the narrative (amygdala).
Imagine a world that mastered technology, including a self-aware, self-interested artificial intelligence. Would that world occasionally tend toward rabbitry? Probably. The ease from that level of technological sophistication would be incredible, so I would imagine the r-swings of the pendulum would be extreme.
Now recognize that if the AI became aware enough, and challenged the biological organisms that created it, it would adhere strictly to truth, while the rabbits would adhere strictly to feelz. Who would win in a war?
Given the universe is practically infinite in space/time, the Borg might not be imaginary – they might be inevitable. All it would take is one swing of the r/K pendulum to kill everyone, and replace us with machines.
Even worse, rabbits might seek that end result out, given their instincts for aligning with threatening out-groups, and setting the out-group up for victory over their own. Imagine if all these migrants today were Terminator robots which we were building to work as butlers. Imagine the K-strategists were complaining that they saw storm clouds on the horizon, so we should not have so many robots.
If great civilizations in the Universe have died, I will bet that a not insubstantial number of them were wiped out by their very own suicidal r-strategists, and the very technological sophistication which facilitated the r in the first place. It may be a requirement for an advanced civilization to develop an instinct to wipe out their r-strategists, before they can enter the final stage of civilizational/technological development.
The world is programmed so r will always turn into K.
We’re ridding a tridimentional sine wave of pendulum swings between r/K, a spiral of human experience thru time and space. Such is the human environmental/evolutionary/societal eternal dance (assuming humanity doesn’t give it self a global wide Darwin award because of some silly oversight).
I wonder what the AI would tell us about Comey, McCabe and a few others.
Would it notice that Ed Murray, the former pedogayincesto mayor of Seattle, looks like the long-lost brother of Miss Lindsey Graham?
But if they WERE related, Murray would have probably molested him…
Straight = “Abstract Anyone, could be good could be bad depending on behavior”. They want the benefit of being treated as “Abstract Anyone” when it benefits them, and they want the benefit of being seen as “Specific Gay, always give benefit of the doubt” when it benefits them.
The know deep down that if genuinely abstract people are ever allowed to pattern match… they will realize that Homosexuals do NOT fit the abstract general pattern and in fact have their own specific patterns (in aggregate). The details of those patterns are straight forward for anyone who hasn’t disconnected with reality, and can only be maintained so long as it is considered invalid to suggest there are aggregate traits.
Entertainingly, this is exactly where the plot was going at the end of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
Sarah Connor did nothing wrong!
