I feel like someone needs to write a blog "So you spent $100m and 500-person-years of engineering time and your tech performs worse than a minimum wage employee

Because seriously, I understand the hope the that facebook can just automate away the actual job of running a platform where users post porn/death threats/plans for genocide, but telling the difference between "I'm gonna nail that pussy" (romantic plans for later tonight) and "I'm gonna nail that pussy" (homophobic death threat) is not only non-trivial, I'm starting to think it may be something that facebook needs to fix now rather than waiting for the tech to maybe catch up at some point in the next 5,000 years. Specifically, before the second example actually commits the murder they're threatening.
- ARandomerDude 6y agoI'm sympathetic to automation in this sphere given the harmful impact on said minimum wage workers. Nudity detection also includes filtering out child pornography, torture, etc.
- Aunche 6y agoAt a facebook scale, humans are inevitably going to mistakes as well from misclicks.
