An HBO clip from Silicon Valley season 4 in which the 'Not Hotdog' app is demoed. The app classifies food photos as hot dog or not hot dog.
Why Hacker News points people here: Mostly a running joke or reference for image-classification projects and AI app demos.

“Obligatory Silicon Valley ref”
> A new feature, Sensitive Content Warning, helps adult users avoid seeing unwanted nude images and videos. It looks like there's now a feature you can enable that uses a classifier (I'm guessing?) to identify dick pics, and let you choose whether you want to see it or not. The last slide[0] in the last carousel on the linked page has an image of the dialog. I bet that was an interesting team to work on. edit: Obligatory Silicon Valley ref: pt1: this video pt2: link [0] link
