In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I just looked, and there was a "Report Offensive Images" link at the bottom of the page and in the safesearch menu, and clicking it made a report button appear over each image.

Heh, could be worse. http://technolog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/12/15/5653800-yahoo-image-search-type-puppy-find-porn
Quote
For a few hours yesterday, those who used Yahoo to search for images found much more than what they were looking for: lots and lots of porn.
Every image result, no matter what search words were typed in, led to one depiction that left nothing to the imagination: a close-up of a man and a woman having sex.

Surely we can all come together to agree that searching for Pokemon, a subject plenty of very underage people are going to look for, on Google Images should not turn up hard core pornography.  Surely, we can agree to that.

Underage people with bad taste.  They deserve what they get.

Even if they deserve what they get, what if 10% become even more pokemon-obsessed because of it? I don't think that we should take those chances...

Those arguing against reporting this are silly.

Google offers a filter. The filter isn't working when people use it. People want it to start working when they use it.

I'm pretty sure the filter blocks graphic violence as well (or its supposed to, anyway)

It's not really censoring when you can click a button that says "show me the things the filter is blocking"

I argue against on the grounds of a) who gives a shit about a .1% chance of some tame porn showing up in a random image search, anyone who spends even the briefest time online should just automatically ignore it (and being a thumbnail in a google search, it's almost certainly so small and pixelated as to barely be recognizable as porn to begin with), and b) encouraging others to go and find it and report it is dangerously reminiscent of how the PTC operates (only without the embezzlement and fraud), and is hence entirely reprehensible.

a) It's not as much as it appeared in the search that it is a SECOND PAGER on strict search.
a.2) I do believe you haven't seen the image before.
b) I don't want the thing kicked from the internet, or the search engine for that matter. I just don't want to see it when searching for one of my top 10 poke's. If i (subjective) want to go without pornography sticking out like a sore thumb on my browser, and there is a filter for that, i might as well try and make it work. And let others know if a crack falls through just to patch it up.
Though thanks for all of your opinions.

Can you provide an example of what it was you saw? I am on 'moderate' (by default, I don't even really care), and I had to specifically look up Gardevoir itself to get anything remotely pornographic.

I've been playing Pokemon my entire life, and I don't buy this whole 'Gardevoir is one of my top ten Pokemon' thing. Clearly, you must have your favorite Pokemon confused for something else. The reason everything on the internet about Gardevoir is sappy romance or sex is because she isn't very good for anything else.

Okay, so, today this girl I know-Lauren, just took a sudden dis-interest in talking to me. Is she just on her period or something?

So basically the OP is upset that some sex got mixed in with his sappy romance.

I'd be pretty upset too. Real talk.

It's more along the lines of me not wanting lust mixed into beauty. I'm not looking for any sappy romance stories. Gardevoir(s?) are just prettyful. And then disgusting (personal opinion) when you throw smut all over it.

So, you really are looking for attractive pictures of Gardevoir?

Sorry, bro, that sounds like a 'comes with the territory' kind of thing.
