This is gross on multiple levels.

I had a quasi physical reaction when reading the description. Not a good one.

I don’t remember hotornot being amongst asimovs 3 laws of robotics..is this really the future we deserve?

The author is gonna be vilified, but next year someone’s gonna come up with a cute name and a material design for this and gonna make bank.

I’m kinda curious to see what 1/10 people look like but these are real people right.

Does anyone do this for a restaurants? That's not something that ever really factored into my food habits

I respect the novelty. It’s a meme idea, but the problem solving and coding is still legit as a quick and fun challenge.

Any details on how you managed to scrape the all mighty goog?

This appears to me to be intentional and ironic to make a point rather than in earnest.

I am interpreting this as a statement about snap judgements in an age where AI will increasingly play the role of a judge or assessor of humans.

Perhaps I’m wrong, but it seems too on-the-nose to be serious.

EDIT:

From the website. If it is in earnest then I’d be embarrassed to have shilled for it, because I agree that the idea is stupid and gross.
