Since the beginning of the 21st century, the surveillance state has utilized technology derived from Silicon Valley, such as facial recognition algorithms, to enhance society’s control.
Authoritarian regimes and unscrupulous corporations are leveraging these technologies to track citizens, stalk criminals, and monitor employees, but what if this technology, rapidly advancing in the last couple of years, can determine a person’s political views?
Imagine this; obviously, the Washington Metropolitan Area is lined with surveillance cameras, with some cameras that may already be employing facial recognition algorithms. Hypothetically speaking, what if these cameras could recognize an angry mob and accurately (to some degree) identify their political views by observing their faces and then alert authorities of potential social unrest in a specific area.
While that technology has yet to be deployed, it may certainly exists.
Researchers have developed a facial recognition algorithm that they claim can determine a person’s political views with reasonable accuracy.
Stanford University’s Michal Kosinski conducted a study published on Monday in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.
“Ubiquitous facial recognition technology can expose individuals’ political orientation, as faces of liberals and conservatives consistently differ,” Kosinski said.
He trained the facial recognition algorithm to accurately guess a person’s political view with an accuracy rating of about 72%. To do this, the researcher trained an algorithm with over one million profiles from social media websites across the US, UK, and Canada.
“Political orientation was correctly classified in 72% of liberal-conservative face pairs, remarkably better than chance (50%), human accuracy (55%), or one afforded by a 100-item personality questionnaire (66%). Accuracy was similar across countries (the U.S., Canada, and the UK), environments (Facebook and dating websites), and when comparing faces across samples. Accuracy remained high (69%) even when controlling for age, gender, and ethnicity,” he said.

ALSO Supreme Justices!
Combine that with a RBF and you’ve got a 100% certain hit.
Phrenology. No wonder these ouija board users fall for it. Only trouble is, they’ll be taking their superstitions out on us.
Maybe they’ll just march us past Clever Hans and let him sort us out.
He just might be a Bible believer . . .
“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!” (Matthew 6:22-23)
The guy with the blue hair looks possessed.
Tried that. Seen nothing in preview... (my above post)
A short while back, they said they could identify a person’s sexual orientation. That got shut down quickly.
Sounds like it is right up there with phrenology. Yes, we should follow the science! (that’s sarcasm for the slow people.)
That Shiite ain’t normal, I say.
It’s the condescending sneer masking the individual’s sheer terror of reality underneath. Look at any male Democrat politician or late night comedy show host - they all have it. :)
“Couple of months ago I saw a guy driving a convertible, with the top down, while wearing a mask.”
Might have been me. Last summer I left the drug store, got in the car, dropped the top and drove off. Went a couple of blocks and a couple of turns before I realized I’d left the damned thing on. Felt like an idiot.
“It was also explained that liberals tend to smile “more intensely and genuinely,” leaving them with a different wrinkle pattern as they age. Meanwhile, conservatives “tend to be healthier, drink less alcohol and smoke less, and have a different diet” – attributes that affected the skin’s health and texture.”
The liberals, we know and have nothing to do with, seldom if ever smile.
How Because we smile?
Phrenology - the study of bumps on the skull to determine if someone was a criminal. Big in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
This is just big techs version of Phrenology.
We old timers decades ago knew that people who looked like these rectums, had been released from the mental hospitals after the hospitals were closed.
Now, they look like that as their “normal”!
You don’t even need to see their face: If a person is alone in their car and wearing mask, they’re a liberal.
