Somewhere a rocket scientist brain surgeon physicist with a knack for economics who wears Velcro shoes is having a stress breakdown.

When I was a professional ballroom dance instructor, one of my coworkers was having a tough time teaching a step to her student. As he gets more frustrated she tells him “it’s ok- you’ll get it- this isn’t rocket science.”

There is an awkward pause as her student stares back at her.
“No” he agrees, “this isn’t rocket science. That I can do. This is some sadistic step designed specifically to torture rocket scientists.”

And that’s how we found out he worked for NASA.

Reblogged for that story

Your daily reminder that no, seriously: “difficult” is a matter of context.

isn’t rocket science a form of physics

Buddy if you’re doing rocket science and quantum physics at the same time, then multiple things have gone seriously, seriously wrong.

Very tiny rockets

What is almost certainly happening with Tumblr’s image classifier is that they’ve deployed the bot entirely untrained, and are relying on user complaints to train it what NSFW content on tumblr looks like.

Making people participate in their own censorship in this way and punishing them with the threat of being silenced even if in compliance with the rules should they not participate, is, IMHO, abuse of their userbase.

Source: I’ve worked for three different top-five social networks, and at all of them this type of work would have been done by making the userbase do it as much as possible.

Please signal boost. I don’t care if you reblog or repost, just get the word out so that people know what they’re doing as they interect with this thing.

My twitter is @soren_tycho (nsfw, sfw account coming soon) and my github username is sorentycho.

Just chiming in as a machine learning expert, this is almost certainly the case (and knowing tumblr, they weren’t even smart enough to throw in pre-trained weights)

I don’t remember agreeing to beta test 🤔

A well known AI blogger I follow also supports this theory.

Okay so what I am hearing here is that if we really want to be assholes and fuck with tumblr then we should ask for review even on flagged posts that are legitimately NSFW?

Fuck with their robot training/ using us as laboratory rats by being the worst possible laboratory rats?

@sorensfw @janothar

The review process will catch it and clean the data, but it WOULD put more strain on whatever humans they have there. Though those humans won’t be the people responsible, they’ll be minimum wage people, so…

Catch: there is mounting evidence that there aren’t any human reviewers – most notably, I’ve seen a post about a basket of mushrooms being rejected on appeal.

Confusing matters even more, I’ve had two copies of visually identical images
handled differently – an unedited version approved, and a version with text steganographically embedded in it rejected.

I’ve been told elsewhere that this in fact pretty much confirms the backup-bot theory.

My sketches are being rejected, too. Out of the 20-some requests I’ve put in for review, 4 are still flagged explicit.
