I actually think this is going to backfire and make some people less racist. Can't group every person on the planet into ~7 buckets if your hobby requires you to learn more than that. I expect some people to internalize this, try to come up with 100 micro-racisms for all the new ethnic groups they've learned about, try to share that with their racist friends, get laughed at for caring so much about [pick a slur]s, and start an incredibly cringe journey towards being less of a piece of shit.

sips wine, fixes trucker hat that’s totally what a member of haplogroup-3242 would throw a tantrum about.

Fetch me my manual calipers so I can store them properly. It’s time to get out my internet calipers and become a fully 21st century phrenologist as the good lord intended.

Bitch that is not an 'ethnic group' that is two blurry squares of AI-generated ass

Those images aren't AI generated. They're just composite images. Take hundreds of different headshots, line them up, fade them all, and stack them.

an AI could generate an image that looks like a legit composite, with the level of nonsense on the maps i have my doubts

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That would be more effort than using the original composites.

i'm not very familiar with how those are made but it seems strange and random for composites to exist of a smattering of northern europe but also bits of eastern europe and mediterrean islands, like what could that possibly be studying?

one might simply procure composites and make up where they're 'from' though

Ethnographers, anthropologists, measurehead , and the likes. It really should not be a surprise the euros are really into this sort of shit. They start trying to tell the physical differences between a Czech and a Solvak and a few grad programs later they're taking mugshots deep in the Congo.

They were really into these composites back in the 2010s. It doesn't surprise me in the slightest that there's multiple of these databases lying around for free. Hell this website could've just been one grad student slapping a webui on another grad students work.
