Ha didn't expect this to end up here. If anyone is interested, I'm working on a blogpost explaining how we built the app in detail… It uses embedded TensorFlow on device (better availability, better speed, better privacy, $0 cost), with a custom neural net inspired by last month's MobileNets paper, built & trained with Keras. It was loads of fun to build :)

Just as a note, people/developers have had messages from Apple telling them that they need to remove code which allows them to update their app outside of the app update/review process. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13817557 for some more detail/discussion. [edit: Apart from in Apple-approved manners]
Well, that's not gonna fly with the "code is data, data is code" crowd ... If the newspaper apps get to load fresh front page images, why should a poor neural net be discriminated in its quest for fresh coefficients? (Raw oppression and injustice there, get yer indignation reservoir topped up.)

How does one get this job? This sounds ridiculously fun.
It was random, I was already working on the show as what Hollywood calls a (technical) “consultant”: advising on storylines, dialogue, background assets, etc. When this idea popped up, someone suggested we build the app for real. We took a try and ended up building the entire thing in-house with the crew, as opposed to hiring an external agency to do it for us.

How long did it take you to build the app? How many devs worked on it and who got to feed the training data set?
You can fetch a dataset of 1273 labeled hot-dog images and 123287 non-hot-dog images from mscoco training dataset: search for "hot dog" or click on the hot dog icon: http://mscoco.org/explore/
Hm, is this an officially licensed HBO marketing stunt? Or does SeeFood Technologies Inc. actually exist as a corporation? If not, I'm curious what the legal ramifications are of doing business as a corporation that does not exist.
The term you're looking for is "Fictitious Business Name," or "Trade Name." Generally, the legal ramifications are a requirement to register the name and pay a small fee. In Santa Clara it costs $40 to register a fictitious business name with the county and the registration is good for five years: https://www.sccgov.org/sites/rec/Fictitious%20Business%20Nam... It's really not a big deal.

It's sad that this isn't more common outside of hot dog detectors.
