Big no, I dislike everything about this - the assumed necessity of such a product or the implication that it does any good, the uncertainty of whether I'm reading has been censored at any given time, some vaguely undefined measure of toxic/negative, the probabilistic outcome of an NLP classification model, my browsing history being either sent off somewhere with every click (or having to run the model locally)...
This is a civil platform so I really struggle to express in writing how much I dislike this. However, based on experience there might a number of consultancies that would pay a lot of money for someone to develop this (or get paid for it depending on the company). It's so deeply slimy that I suspect it has already happened in many of those places.
- andreyk 6y agoThanks for the feedback! For what it's worth, we do indeed aim to make it fully local, and you can set how sensitive it is eg to just screen for overtly racist stuff, and have control over when it's on and transparency over anything it screens (it'd just be a warning layer). If nothing else it might help content moderators to do their job with less negative impact on their mood, though maybe not...
