I’m gonna need a lot of concurring studies to accept this.
Also, did you know the shape of your skull can determine if you’re a criminal? /s

And now we know his name! Arrest him!

Hmm I'm not liking where this is going.

Going? Naw bud, it gone.

I'm changing my name to "Sexy".

"bonk!"

Even then, it gives just a little credence to those people who like to tell you that "You look like a Judy."
Thanks for looking up the article, the headline is most likely wrong.

Not sure why this was removed for rule 1, as there was no attack on anyone's person, it was entirely a criticism of the study.
Unless it was for describing journalists who refuse to provide direct references to the studies they write about as "fuckers", in which case I can edit that part out once the comment is restored, even though it was not directed at any one person.

They say that they didn't have pictures with religious affectations, and that they cropped pictures to show little hair.
But, in the example pictures, the vast majority of the woman's hair is visible.
Maybe that's what they were referring to?

You know the kind of research result where you go: "Well, no shit sherlock!" ?
This is the diametrical opposite of that...

Yea, peer review is (almost) dead.

Based on the methods, seems a stretch to say this isnt correlation alone
Yeah, just the wording of the title is a huge red flag.
I'm curious if "faces" are really just faces or shoulders up where hairstyles and clothes give clues.
Like, an a adult that goes by Bob, Bobby, or Robert looks different. And people would subconsciously account for age and what names were popular.
A lot of shit goes on behind the scenes and sometimes the conscious brain doesn't know and makes up it's own reason for why it decided something.
I don't care which way the causation goes or whether it comes from the name choice and preferences of the parents (yea, bad title), what surprised me is that ML can predict a name based on a face at all, there should be no correlation in first place.
I disagree. Age biases the statistical likelihood of a name. Features that hint in any ethnic direction. Also some visible features might bias towards urban vs rural upbringing which also would also lean names in another direction.
