I haven't heard of academics and/or media from China advocating for applications of phrenology/physiognomy or other related racist pseudosciences. Have you?

I don’t have the time nor the expertise to read everything to understand how they take into account the bias that good looking white men with educated parents are way more likely to succeed at life.

i admittedly did not read the entire 61 pages but i read enough to answer this:

Plastic surgery would become more popular.

One of the paper's authors had the same thought:

“Suppose this type of technology gets used in labor market screening, or maybe dating markets,” Shue muses. “Going forward, you could imagine a reaction in which people then start modifying their pictures to look a certain way. Or they could modify their actual faces through cosmetic procedures.”‌

She also bizarrely says that:

"we are very much not advocating that this technology be used by firms as part of their hiring process."

and yet, for some reason:

The next step for Shue and her colleagues is to explore whether certain personality types are drawn to specific industries or whether those personality types are more likely to succeed within given industries.

Fuck this site; it lost me when it got to listing "What kinds of things might they be good at?"

Just say no.

Using an LLM to summarize something is still a bad idea. The chances of it emphasizing the wrong thing, omitting the most important thing, or just outright making up "facts" remains high. LLMs Will Always Hallucinate.
