Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This paper explores the themes of history, phenomenology, entertainment, participatory culture and social media to determine our fascination with food porn in the digital sphere. Comparing Roland Barthes' theory on toys, connections are drawn to conclude that our food porn consumption habits are induced by our innate desire for play. The role of play is often understudied when it comes to contemporary habits. Barthes paints a picture to depict the world of toys as a microcosm of the adult world that is activated once it has faced interaction. Barthes highlights the fact that the objects emerge from their solely functional state and gain desirability when they are socialized by the hands of the child. This concept is applied to society's obsession with digital food porn. This project seeks to align society's innate urge to activate functional tools in the adult world (food) and socialize them into tools of entertainment.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
