Not much discussion on hn from the few threads that come up in the search. But I want to highlight rini17 which links to a post from GrapheneOS that in turn links to the Google blog from Oct 2024.
My 2c is that this style of on device monitoring to warn users/children is an expected evolution of parental content monitoring tools for the llm era.
Graphine is right. As open source it would be much better. Privacy and trust concerns would be easier to check and give the opportunity to make tools that empower parents and children to decide how they should moderate content on their devices.
Perhaps some communities are very worried about nudity where others are more concerned about hate speech. Having the choice on what to detect and how, or if, to act would be helpful.

- soulofmischief 2y agoCurrently, no. You only need the ability to run inference on a given sample.
- Freak_NL 2y agoIs there a use case for that? If it is about bypassing parental restrictions or just blurring images because the user requests that feature, the pool of potential buyers seems small and likely too risky to engage.
- hannasanarion 2y agoIt's also about blocking spam. Don't know why that's buried in this particular article, but many sources have pointed to that as one of the primary use cases for the new system tool.
- pbhjpbhj 2y agoGoogle are producing a tool to block adverts (spam)? Only ones that haven't paid them, presumably.
