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…

Google docs spell/grammar check shuts off if the word "anal" appears anywhere in a sentence. https://imgur.com/dTJmsTt

For some reason "anal" and the F-bomb are the only two words I can find where it does this.

The craziest part is if you type something like "analss gland" it figures out you're trying to type "anal gland" and shuts down spellcheck, even though anal gland (dogs) is a perfectly g-rated use of the word anal.

Even the word fuck can be perfectly acceptable in plenty of contexts. Weird that someone went to the trouble of building in weird kill-switch exceptions in a spell checker.

“This feature remains severely disliked by users, with feedback such as ‘Fuck this moronic new button!’ being an example of the milder responses.”

I was permanently banned from Tinder for trying to upload a picture of myself holding a pepper from my garden. I can only assume that Tinder's AI thought the pepper looked like an unacceptable body part.

If that was a "peter pepper", the AI could have reacted just like a human. NSFW warning in case you search: yes, it can look very close to the real thing.

I tried to grow them in my balcony among other types of chili but this type failed probably because of wrong climate and/or bad soil.

Sending unsolicited nudes is a crime so no, it should not be allowed even if there are people who enjoy that stuff.

How does your model differentiate solicited and unsolicited nudes?

I used to work at a place that blocked a significant fraction of incoming Dutch emails. Eventually we figured out it rejected any message with "kunt" ("he/she can"), which is not exactly uncommon. Apparently they were flagged as deliberate attempts to circumvent the profanity filter.

Can they open source their algorithirm so I can figure out why I get no matches

does anyone actually use bumble and enjoy it? serious question

Based on conversations with (male) friends, it seems to be the place for those who can't deal with Tinder anymore.

Personally I'm back to OkCupid - it may not have the number of users the others do, but at least I now get to know something about potential matches other than 5 pictures and that they enjoy traveling.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

If that's true the person to figure out how to make dating apps work for average guys can make a lot of money...

That doesn't sound logically possible, and if it were it would not last long as average men get wind of it

Why is it not possible? In a society where multi marriages are not allowed there's a woman for every man.

That's hilarious. I would take that as a sign the platform is as thoughtful with arbitrary enforcement (without review) and that it's users aren't much sharper.

The makings of a Lonely Island music video that it's actually a pepper in the popcorn and not something else.

Sorry, I couldn't help but think of the Run-DMC tongue-twister lyrics while reading that.
