Comment on UAE-based Falcon AI NSFW classifier among top global open-source models (2025)parent

Comments

it is amusing that a model from a country that has banned porn would ever be developed. Wouldn't there be hurdles for them to access "data" at every stage?

(I know they must have used a VPN for training but it does seem like an added hoop. OFC the UAE's block is also not particularly thorough.)

You'd assume such models would do better in a laissez-faire nsfw environment than in a walled garden of relatively-less sin.

It's for research purposes :wink: :wink:

It's a story as old as time so I'm frankly less amused by it. The old school censors always saw every "data" that was taboo under the sun prior to censoring it for public consumption.

There are plenty western CSAM detection models

Can you suggest a good one?
