Skynet Will Be Aware of Self, Hotties

Posted by Bryan Christian


Isn't training a computer to recognize sexy ladies sort of like a guy training himself to autofellate? Like, why would either one ever leave the house?

Amit Kagian, an M.Sc. graduate from the [Tel Aviv University] School of Computer Sciences, has successfully “taught” a computer how to understand and process the factors which contribute to attractiveness in women. Aside from this being the modern equivalent of “mirror mirror on the wall” and all the vanity that could come from it, it’s actually quite important. The importance lies in the fact that this is a significant breakthrough in creating artificial intelligence in computers.

Also: a giant leap forward in making webcams that much creepier.
