1 year agoI work in an adjacent industry and got a sales pitch from a company offering a similar service. They said that they get the AI to flag the images and then people working from home confirm - and they said it’s a lot of people with disabilities/etc getting extra cash that way.
This was about six months ago and I asked them, “there’s a lot of bias in AI training datasets - was a diverse dataset used or was it trained mostly on people who look like me (note: I’m white)?” and they completely dodged the question…
(this is definitely a different company as I am not in England)
(I just realised I’m responding to a post that’s a month old but I already wrote this so here you go)
I think it’s about what you want and find comfortable for yourself. For me, I’ve been poly for like 12 years and it’s wild how the community has changed. In 2011 people thought the idea of coming out to your family or work colleagues was absolutely ludicrous (someone on the polyamory subreddit c. 2012 told me it was like telling my colleagues I like anal sex, fun times). Now it’s pretty well accepted as something you should expect to do.
So too have the feelings about barrier free sex. In 2011 it was a given that you’d only have one barrier-free partner and that you had an implied right to know their level of barrier use with their other partners. Things have relaxed a lot, and rightly so because there’s a lot of stigma around STI that is completely unearned as they are all highly treatable if you have the financial means and caught early (yes, even HIV).
So now, I have barrier sex by default with new partners and the conversation about changing that happens organically. They know what my risk tolerence level is, and I know theirs, and we mutually can make a decision about whether our risk profiles are compatible.
