What I wonder is if they actually came up with the idea because of that. The timing is about right.
In the show, Jian Yang sells the app to a social media company for precisely detecting this sort of phallic imagery, so I think Mike Judge knew exactly what he was doing.

Dating apps are tailored to people in the top X% of attractiveness. Don't take it personally. Most people aren't successful on them, even the ones who get a lot of matches.
If that's true the person to figure out how to make dating apps work for average guys can make a lot of money...
Many years ago (ca. 2009?) at a previous employer we had an enterprise email scanner which included a content filtering feature which could block "pornographic images". We ended up turning it off as it had too many false positives since it was an insurance company that dealt with injuries so a lot of legitimate injury photos would get classed as porn and blocked. I think it was basically looking at how much of an ima…
There was an XKCD comic around that timeframe: https://xkcd.com/1425/ And it really sticks out as one of the few paradigm shifts we’ve had in the last 10 years. In 2009, it really was an impossible task to do that kind of image recognition. But by 2012, it was available in a library for anyone.

I'm relevantly good looking, no problem with getting a beautiful woman IRL, but on dating apps I get no matches. Or if I do its girls who are either average or tinder addicts who everyone should avoid. My working theory is on a dating app woman have unlimited access, so tend to go torwards the top 99.9% of men. Solution: Shadow ban hyper attractive people. Solution 2: Only show people a similar level of attractivenes…
Your theory makes no sense. First you obviously mean the top 0.1% of men. Second the top 0.1% of men can't date more than a few percent of the women. Much more likely you don't put enough effort into your profile or you have something on, that is a red flag for most women.

(If anyone here hasn't watched the series, do yourself a favor and do so.)
This looks like the detector does not run on the phone but I could be wrong about that. If it does not, that implies all messages on this dating app are not private. These conversations and pictures could be very sensitive. our scale allows us to collect a best-in-the-industry dataset of both lewd and non-lewd images For another, it seems like they are saying they collect all these images of people's private parts an…
Reported profile photos: lewd
Reported message photos: lewd
Though it's possible they're sourcing the photos in the above way, in general I'd assume that the messages are not private. Unless messages are end-to-end encrypted on a platform, you have to assume the platform can access them.
