...Few seemed concerned. So to call attention to the privacy risks, he decided to show that it was possible to use facial recognition analysis to detect something intimate, something “people should have full rights to keep private.”

After considering atheism, he settled on sexual orientation.

...

Presented with photos of gay men and straight men, a computer program was able to determine which of the two was gay with 81 percent accuracy, according to Dr. Kosinski and co-author Yilun Wang’s paper.

The backlash has been fierce.

Kramer brings ‘em back.

Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

You speak of codepence. What do you think of the epigenetic argument? (Just curious.)

Like the following:

Epigenetics is everything beyond straight DNA transcription and replication, including consciousness. I think it is the most important. Even more so than DNA.

I don’t agree with most of what the cardiologist says in the Ted Talk.

Like I mentioned earlier, there are many influencing factors.

I’ve even had attached spirits come out of gays....of the opposite gender. That really complicates things.

A few years ago I was introduced to a co-worker. My instinctive response was "He is homosexual."

Later at the company picnic he introduced me to his wife and three children.

I thought that my gaydar must have been off.

Not even a year later he dumped his wife for a series of progressively younger boy toys.

Some times the office would go out together and he would zero in on the most vulnerable female and pick her apart for the amusement of his arm candy.

He really hated women but was given a pass because he was homosexual.

I think that’s a stereotypical gay man.

But lots are not like that.

I think a lot of gay men are normal and wouldn’t ping your gaydar. Just IMO. It’s not super widely accepted and lots of them probably aren’t “open.” For that matter.

If he thinks atheists look alike, he’s nuts. No wonder the project had to be changed. Can’t understand the mindset of someone like that.

One of the reasons I say there are lots of fags that won’t ping your gaydar, the stereotypical fag is just one type.

THere are masculine and feminine types. Just like lesbians.

I was in a lesbian bar in Dallas called the White Horse, I think it was, decades ago. There was a beautiful red head there who I would have killed for until she walked over and stuck her tongue in a bull dykes ear. What a waste.

I thought they said you can't "look gay".

LOL at google image search

“Best guess for this image: obama gay”

That’s correct, google! Very good.

On the other hand I tried a picture of some Broadway actress that tried to push someone in front of a train and it guessed “Donald Trump”. The reason being the picture was in banner ads across dozens of political articles.

There are definitely “tells” if one if is either “light in the loafers” or “partakes of carpet”.

Gay/dyke face is real.
