A $710.65 donation from "Sir Anonymous of Dogpatch" prompts a discussion on the monetization of 3D facial data by companies like Apple. The hosts explore how facial recognition will be used in dating sites and the broader implications of data capture. The donor's note suggests that intelligence agencies focus on controlling the "fog of war" and the messages delivered to decision-makers.

Researchers at Stanford University, led by Mikhail Kassinsky, developed an AI algorithm capable of detecting sexual orientation from facial images with high accuracy. The study, which used data from public dating sites, claims the AI can distinguish between gay and straight men with 92% accuracy. The hosts argue the study is being used to support the theory that sexuality is biological rather than a choice, while questioning the validity of using curated dating profile photos as a data set.

The dating site MillionaireMatch.com announced the removal of over 250 porn starlets to maintain "community quality," a move critics call a publicity stunt. The discussion transitions to the book *Online the Book*, which deconstructs the fraudulent nature of premium dating sites. The segment also mentions the life sentence handed to Silk Road mastermind Ross Ulbricht and the auctioning of his seized bitcoins to venture capitalist Tim Draper.

The hosts read letters from donors in Michigan, Louisiana, and Canada. One listener describes discovering the podcast through an Indian dating site, while another from Melbourne discusses the local culture in Perth and Victoria. The segment focuses on the "value for value" model and the personal sacrifices listeners make to support the show.

A listener in Romania has launched NoAgendasex.com, a dedicated dating and social networking site for the No Agenda community. The site allows users to create profiles for various orientations and identities, including transsexual and transgender options. Users can buy ranking points and send "No Agenda sex money" to support the show.
