  • Forget about the AI. There is so much wrong with this.

    1. If it gets it wrong, either false positive or false negative, then there are serious consequences. This means there is no way it can “play it safe” with an answer.
    2. I don’t trust that it’s not capturing and storing data. The risk of a “highly personal” data being leaked is completely unwarranted.
    3. It works from a photo, therefore it’s unlikely to pick up much more than you can see by eye. You’d be better off just learning what to look for.
    4. It won’t detect STIs with no visual symptoms, so provides an entirely false sense of confidence, potentially increasing the risks of those STIs to the general population.
    5. Let’s say it works perfectly, and the AI algorithm runs completely locally with no data being transferred to the cloud or being captured/stored. Do you want to have someone you don’t trust about being honest about STIs taking a photo of your genitals?

    That’s what I can come up with in 10 seconds. Feel free to add to the list, I’m sure it’s not complete…


  • Bobby’s mum and dad decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.

    The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into action.

    “There’s a car being towed from the parking lot,” he said. “An ambulance just drove by.” A few moments passed.

    “Looks like the Anderson’s have company,” he called out. “Matt`s riding a new bike, and the Coopers are having sex.”

    Mom and dad shot up in bed. “How do you know that?” the startled father asked.

    “Their kid is standing out on the balcony too,” his son replied.
