AI has finally hit it's stride with a real world application: SceneTap's app fcial recognition software will determine male/female ratios at bars to give heterosexuals not yet at the bar the information they need to know to increase their chance of hooking up with someone of the opposite sex. For homosexuals the app may serve a similar purpose. If the gender ratio is skewed so far in their direction, the app might as a gay/lesbian bar discovery app.
The story has been covered in sources from Discover magazine to Government Computing News.
A random mental walk.
