When I saw the headline I thought maybe it was an essay about how to think about your own mental state, which would have been super interesting to me – I'm desperate to know whether the little goblins running around in my head are part of the human condition or are my own customized baggage – but alas, they juts wanna tell me if I'm hot, which I already know the answer to. I didn't give it access to my camera but it…
I pointed my camera at my monitor and brought up conventionally attractive celebrities. No one got higher than 6.2. Zac Efron: 6.2 Henry Cavill: 5.9 Pierce Brosnan: 5.1 Shemar Moore: 4.7

The Joke is the line that says: "Read terms: NO - Normal (88%)" Gave me a chuckle. We are so used to shitty TOS, cookie banners and all kinds of BS that we learned to just click them away.
I did read the TOS, but I have cookies disabled so it still said NO. I suspect that most of the people who do read the TOS probably also have cookies disabled, and therefore also were not counted.

That's very strange. It doesn't use cookies at all. I know because I built it :-)
Would you like me to try again/do anything else to help debug?
Edit: turning on noprocrast because I have work to get done. I'll check back in an hour or so.

I mean, it's an EU-funded academic site designed to raise awareness of privacy issues, so I'm inclined to believe them when they say they aren't keeping any of this data. Maybe it's because programmers tend to think categorically, but I find HN frequently has this problem where people are freaking out like "why is it okay when Mozilla does X but you don't want Google to do X?!" as though we're supposed to treat every…
Context mattering has nothing to do with sharing your face with a random site that claims to be supported by "The EU". This is a site made by one guy, not the EU.
The project was created as part of my role as artist within the Sherpa consortium. It's a Horizon2020 research project whose goal is to figure out what Europeans believe are the biggest issues around AI that we'll experience in 2025. Most of the other partners are universities, and I'm the lucky one who gets to translate what we learn into art pieces.

All the other works I've created / am creating for Sherpa can be found here: https://www.sherpapieces.eu/
Besides working as an artist I also work as a privacy designer, which means I specialise in creating things/products that protect privacy.
This website was a very cool challenge to build, a testament to the power of javascript.
