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.

  I agree. Just wrap this inside some opaque "AI recommendation algorithm" and tell no one what the AI is actually basing its recommendations on...

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: > This website just puts reductive numbers on the superficial calculations we make every day 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.

  I really do think it's in earnest. I think the author is trying to justify its existence as "already a part of reality". I think it's quite despicable actually.

I see this as an art project. (And technical exploration, because I wonder how did they manage to scrape Google.) It's made by the dude that has a lot of similarly strange and technologically impressive projects: https://walzr.com/ https://walzr.com/
