Could you build this?
No This is an AI safety/interpretability research repository focusing on internal representation manipulation and refusal vectors in language models. Developing this requires specialized mechanistic interpretability skills and PyTorch model weight introspection.
What it would actually take: A proper implementation requires tooling like TransformerLens, PyTorch, and Hugging Face to extract residual stream activations, compute difference-in-means refusal directions, and apply representation engineering techniques. It demands deep understanding of transformer latent geometry, activation steering, and access to GPUs capable of loading and manipulating 7B-70B parameter models.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
