> 1. Anytime you give someone freedom to create (anything), you will end up with a penis drawing. Just scrolling through quickly I see that Frame #13122 delivers on this law of the universe. After watching the movie preview, I only watched the first 45-50 seconds and counted about 4-5 drawings of the bodypart and 6-8 additional frames that just contain the word "penis". I wouldn't be surprised if 2-4% of the total frames submitted contain this specific content. Are there any YC startups specializing in detecting penises? They can probably help.

Not sure whether you were specifically referencing it, but this was made for an episode of Silicon Valley, and is also a real, functional app. On the show, it was originally created for detecting hot dogs, but found a second (and far more lucrative) life as a penis detector. https://www.engadget.com/2017-05-15-not-hotdog-app-hbo-silicon-valley.html https://www.engadget.com/2017-05-15-not-hotdog-app-hbo-silic...

I don't even know if external links to Twitter work any longer, but Elon claims that Twitter has a "dick pic bot": (maybe joking?) https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1678143935976464384?s=20 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1678143935976464384?s=20

  He would be pretty aware since he’s always engaged in a dick measuring contest.

When I worked in games in the late 2000s the rumour* about why Minecraft was able to come in and do what everyone knew that Lego should have been doing (a multi-player online block-building game), was that they spent so long trying to create a Lego penis detector that they missed their opportunity. * - I cannot verify this, so take it with a pinch of small white cubes

I know that Discord has a poor implementation of this technology. I once spent 10 minutes trying to upload a photograph before I realized that a pig’s snout was tripping its indecency detector. I had to put a black bar across the offending area to bypass it. It must be a feature channel operators can turn on?
