If you're upset about the topless happy healthy woman and not about the scenes of disfigured war victims above it, there's something wrong with you as a human.

I think his concern was for the people behind filters and monitors who trip a million and one alarms when a breast is detected.
Of course things like dying war victims and terrible mutilation will probably pass by these systems A-OK. (Which is really sad when you think about it.)

"not safe for work" means you shouldn't be viewing these images at work and if you got caught seeing them, a resistant boss might not accept your explanation. It has nothing to do with the context the article provides regarding the NSFW material.

I'm not making a comment on the morality of the images only that some automatic content filters might consider it pornography which is usually not allowed in corporate environments

Worrying about this strikes me as a bit daft when you can already convince actual humans to be your weapons delivery system.
It also shows some significant shortsightedness regarding scaling laws which an AI researcher ought to have more experience with. A more legitimate worry would be basement-grade Predator drones. Grenade-bearing quadcopters which use computer vision to track and target dense crowds are something which technology can do now, rather than something which might optimistically happen in a few hundred years.

Yes, if only we could pay the bills with naive idealism.

Workplace policies are what make something nsfw, not any ridiculously extrapolated failings as a human.
