       RT @jbensnyder@twitter.comToday in shitty machine learning startups, this company claims to predict IQ, personality, and violent tendencies by applying deep learning to facial features and bone structure.   That's phrenology. You just made the ML equivalent of a racist uncle.https://twitter.com/jbensnyder/status/1064759174574280704

       @alexandria It's only pseudoscience when the council of truth decides they don't like it :blobcoffee:

       @alexandriaThere's a difference though: it won't tell embarassing jokes at the table which is both an advantage and a downside.

       @drequivalent @alexandria The lack of ML Phrenology telling racist jokes at the dinner table makes it much harder to get across that it is inaccurate to, based on long disavowed science, and shouldn't be used.Who wants to bet that a major retail chain like Walmart or Kroger won't trial this ML for loss prevention at their stores? Every non-conforming person is apt to be flagged, stopped and detained.
