Unsolicited nudes detected and deleted by AI

Software that can detect and delete unsolicited penis pictures sent via private messages on Twitter is being developed by researchers in Seattle. The project was started after developer Kelsey Bressler was sent an unsolicited nude photo by a man. She is now helping a friend refine an artificial intelligence system that can detect the unwanted penis pictures and delete them before they are ever seen.

She said social networks could do more to protect users from cyber-flashing. "When you receive a photo unsolicited it feels disrespectful and violating," Ms Bressler told the BBC. "It's the virtual equivalent of flashing someone in the street. You're not giving them a chance to consent, you are forcing the image on them, and that is never OK."

To test and train the artificial intelligence system, Ms Bressler and her team set up a Twitter inbox where men were invited to "send nudes for science". So many volunteered their nude photos that the team has had to close the inbox.

    I thought that was a pre-op transsexual woman.

    What she is is Jewish. In case you couldn't tell from the surname, look at the nose. She has a characteristic I like to call "Butt-head nose" that is an effective Jew-marker even when looking at a Jewish face head-on rather than getting a useful profile view for ascertaining degree of hooknose.

    Here's how you identify Butt-head nose: When you look at a face, and you see the center tip of the nose droop below the nostrils, then it is Jew nose AKA Butt-head nose. [nocookie.net]

    And while we're being all racial and shit, I'm betting that the guy who sent her the "unsolicited nudes" is in India.
