This program can classify 1 hour of video in 36 seconds on my low end GTX 960 4GB.

and for PornHub's back catalog, this still take longer than the heat death of the universe
not really. 1 hour of video in 36 seconds it 1,000 hours of video / hour of computation. Assuming you go with a cluster of higher end graphics cards, you could pretty easily perform 100x better. That's 100,000 hours of video processed / hour of computation. I don't know the size of the pornhub back catalog, and I'm scared to search since I'm at work right now, but even if it's hundreds of millions of hours you could go through the whole thing in like 2 months tops.
Isn't 1 hour video in 36 seconds a 100x speedup instead of 1000? Agreed that it's definitely doable if they want.
