#172This is such a flattering website: * 5.5 with glasses, 7.5 without. Glad I wear contacts, I guess. * Age predicted: 20, truth: 30+ * BMI predicted: 18.7, truth: 22
This was their plan all along. To harvest the data people leave in the comments. Cunningham's Law in effect ;)
Hahaha. I'm a sucker!

Do you remember the name of that subreddit, by any chance?
/r/EqualAttraction seems to be it (I just searched for 'similar attractiveness' on reddit, was the third or fourth result). Now my problem is I don't know any of the celebrities they are naming, so I'll have to google around to see if I agree with the commenters.
I'm pretty sure that was it – when I saw it years ago, there were a few posts that were pretty remarkable, in that somebody "average" looking had uploaded a picture, and someone else would upload a pretty good (non-celeb) match, and in most cases the op would say, "Oh, that's way better than I thought!"
Looking at it now, however, it seems like it's mostly a "what celeb do I vaguely resemble" thread, which isn't nearly as interesting.

#174Ah, this one couldn't find my face. It kept focusing on my left ear and gave it a 5 for attractiveness. Then it couldn't find my face any longer. There was another fun one posted here months ago [1]. I wanna say I'm disappointed, but I'd be lying. I'm happy that A.I. cannot detect us black people. I'll need to do something about that left ear though. [1]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21337863
The only person I know who did something about his left ear, did admirable. Just don’t wrap the ear in a newspaper and hand it to a prostitute, as I doubt that sort of thing will work out well in these modern times.
I don't think it worked out well in his times either

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.
Creator here. 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. Learn more about Sherpa here: https://www.project-sh…
I followed a link to socialcooling.com as well the other day. The things you are talking about are critical for a decent civilisation moving forward. Thank you for talking about them and making us think.

I found the issue, and it should hopefully be fixed. It happened if your IP address couldn't be used to predict your location.
Does it fall back to US if the IP address can't be used? Because this would be the first time a GeoIP database would move my EU IP address to the US...
Yes you are correct.
Re: How Normal Am I?
#177I 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
I got 6.9 (7.0 without glasses) -- definitely not more attractive than any of those guys. Even my mother would say Henry Cavill is considerably more attractive than me without batting an eyelid. I would imagine there is some sort of penalty given the face is on a 2D surface.
Well Henry Cavill is a pretty high bar to be fair.

That's very strange. It doesn't use cookies at all. I know because I built it :-)
How unusual. I did follow the link from the TOS to the application. 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.
That would be great actually. I've enabled debug mode. Add ?debug to the end of the url to get a peak under the engine. So:
