I would just like to say that these signs in the DFW airport bathrooms are peak social engineering, and I do hope Dan Patrick enjoys all the phone calls from people upset about the government photographing their hairy bits.

@MissConstrue this is real?
Show threadMissConstrueFeb 11
@Maristya Do the signs exist? Yes. The image they show is the flush sensor on the toilets at dfw. They have an automatic sensor that flushes the toilet when someone stands or moves. 
Is this going to have people panic calling the Lt Govs office? Oh dear gods, I hope so. 🤣🤣.

@MissConstrue

Since they currently use the images as training data ... Does that mean that the more people with penises go to the female-labeled restrooms and vice versa, the crappier their system works? Sounds like a good reason to do just that, doesn't it?

@fedithom I was wondering about what “improper use of the restroom meant”...

It seems transphobic shit if it is all about matching genitalia with the picture in the restroom doors.

@wehpudicabok yeah, the project was as careful as possible to make this about the GOPs weird need to check the trousers of people who need to pee. As the parent of a trans kid, I wouldn’t have any part in something I thought would endanger her or her friends. But, people who are comfortable giving any other people’s rights should be made uncomfortable.

Show threadTor LillqvistFeb 11

@MissConstrue Apparently your hint that this sign indeed has been put there for trolling (or "social engineering") purposes was not obvious enough, and some people in the comments either believe it is real (which is sad, but not surprising), or feel the need to point out explicitly that it is not real.

That said, I wouldn't be surprised if there would be "AI" genital scanning in toilets in some states of the US soon, for "safety". I am sure some startup is already working on that!
