You trained an ai to recognize k-pop idols and thus trained yourself to better recognise school buses, incredible.

[BluePandas]

“Everyone is some member of bts” is honestly so correct about facial recognition like in my google photos library, it says like 90% of kpop idols are V even when they look nothing like him

[etymologynerd.]

sabrinas fbi agent is really questioning why shes downloading so much k-pop

As a humanities major who writes every single dissertation using an assortment of scrambled post-its and paper scraps, the fact that you, a science major, used a tidy notebook but your friend, a humanities-ish person, used post-its, is extremely hilarious. I was not expecting this video to take the turn that it took, and it learnt a lot of (scary) things about how facial recognition works. Great work!

"It just assumes that everybody is some member of BTS"
Why is this so my friends and family

[z-beeblebrox]

6:00 "Consider this photo of Seventeen. A group with, arguably, too many people."
Or, arguably, five too few people.

[Cationna]

What I got from this vid:
1. Facial recognition is terrifying and I hate that I live in the future
2. Sabrina's graphics are GORGEOUS

[IAR]

Honestly i came here because of BTS on the title, then i left with all these knowledge, wonder, anxieties, and gratitude

[aussieboiyeet]

“Seventeen a group with too many members”

All units of NCT: “am I a joke to you?”

[phoenixfritzinger]

“They all look like a random member of BTS”
So apparently my dad is the facial recognition software

[Negative_Positron]

In the wise words of Michael Reeves: "Facial detection? Nah, I prefer racial detection"

[rwolfheart]

Unrelated to the actual content but I'm loving this series of "I wonder how X works, I'm going to do a huge personal experiment on it and enlist a friend to help" videos. I hope you keep making them!

[Thoughtspresso]

"People can tell I'm Filipino. Like, look at my nose bridge. My glasses are falling." SAME GIRL SAME

[winonaamores]

love how this went from kpop fancams to machine learning to facial recognition being racist then goes to obscurity issues and chilling effect

[YassinElMohtadi]

So far:
Sabrina 0 - 2 Machine learning

[jamiev]

wear a face mask:
Protects your identity
Protects you from COVID

[jellyfish]

Facial recognition software: genuinely scary example of a future without anonymity
Sabrina: haha kpop idol go

[stonethetulips]

the "big thing about kpop stars....THEY ARE ASIAN." part had me dying, like i knew where that sentence was going and i legit said it aloud i-

[TheRaymanFan]

"vibe in the horror of man" is truly the motto for our time.

This is literally all I've ever wanted. Kpop, coding and sociopolitical & ethics . My perfect trifecta. This is amazing, props to you.
