👨‍🔬 Experimenting with Google Perspective

@saintbletch

looks for patterns of speech that might lead to a ‘toxic’ discussion

No-one cares about your stupid features so just wind your neck in before it all gets a bit tasty.

No warning.

No warning.

Typical of you…posting without any though that the recipient of your bile might just have feelings.

No warning.

I said ‘Boner’ and that got me a warning… would I have got it had I said ‘erect penis’ instead?

Can’t filter out dubious images either…

Yeah, but if were captioned appropriately, say “@saintbletch on the towpath”, Google would be in there like swimwear.

Context, new kids.

Sex in public

OK, I’m not a prude. Well I am really, but I try to be open minded. Well I don’t really - I wish it were 1934 again actually. Anyway, this afternoon Mrs Bletch and I went for a walk along the Itchen Navigation. We headed north out of Eastleigh and as we crossed Highfield Road on the public footpath we came across two young people engaged in an act of sexual congress. They were also accompanied by a small child of unknown age and gender who was in a pram. The woman’s bare arse was facing me, and …

@Cobham-Saint

We call him Elon Musk

edit - no message telling me to edit this so it looks like we have the law on our side

[Cobham-Saint]

I got a message suggesting I edit my post

Job done.

You can turn it off now @saintbletch

[Fowllyd]

Pigfuckers.

[Fowllyd]

Motherfucking pigfucker cunts.

[Fowllyd]

I don’t seem to get any warnings. Am I immune, Bletch - you utter cunt?

[Fatso]

You need to “hard refresh” your browser (which simply means pressing Ctrl + F5 and/or Shft + F5) and then post bad words.

[Fowllyd]

Oh yeah, I forgot that bit, you motherfucking pigfucker cunt.

Got warned that time. Thanks Fatso, you’re a top chap.

[Saint-or-sinner]

If i don’t refresh, can i call you personally, a cunt and a pedophilia, at the same time and do it perpetually?
More seriously, this a bad thing. Just consider the possible uses. It’s all being implemented for a reason and free speech isn’t it(Huxley is what it is).

Edit: yeah, no problems whatsoever.
I could say, Alexander Boris Pfeffel Johnson ,the inbred right-wing, fascist retard, fucks the the empty skulls of dead African children(through their melon lips obvs) after he’s scooped their brains out with a spoon.
It doesn’t give a shit. I’m still free and Google(notice the capital, I didn’t do that) the American SS startup are the most undemocratic cunts on the planet.

[CB-Saint]

Why the fuck would he do that?

[CB-Saint]

@saintbletch this filter sucks balls

[Fatso]

Bletch has basically handed over all control of the forum to Google.

What a corporate cunt he is.

edit - no warning

[saintbletch]

Did you first do a CTRL + F5 or if on mobile/tablet Force Close the app and try again.

There is something odd that once it’s warned you it doesn’t seem to warn you again for a while / at all in that topic.

That said, Discourse is so parameter-driven that if it was going to ignore things for a while - I’d be able to define what a while is. And I can’t so I’m not sure what is going on.

I can dial up the level of scrutiny but we’ll get lots of false positives.

I just tried to type something really offensive but then I heard sirens so thought I’d better delete it and turn the lights off.
