Another "choose the face" website is making rounds on Twitter, this one actually provides some stats, unlike Aella's: https://mytype.fyi/
I learned that my type is so basic it's almost painful. In a nutshell, it's a Mormon or Midwestern college athlete.
Considering other recent news, I can't help but think of a website like this in a more sinister way. I can't help but notice how they really want you to make an account. I now imagine your results are being stored in a foreign datacenter; to be queried back if that foreign government suddenly finds itself for some reason interested in deploying a honeypot against you.
It's interesting where people's paranoia is targeted. My first instinct on posts like this is that it's the feds trying to build a psych profile on the users here, rather than a foreign government. But I have no real basis for that. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), I find them too fun to pass up.
My second thought is also somehow not foreign agents, but advertising companies. But I assume the vast majority of the population is already compromised on the "what kind of face you find attractive" model training anyway. At least if you have ever used any endless-scroll doom media like YT Shorts, Instagram, or TikTok.
Oh, don't worry, I'm also worried about our own governments and advertising companies, I was just correlating this story and the NVIDIA story which in that case involved a (likely) foreign agent.
