Every cop wants everybody who isn’t a cop in prison.
AI is even coming for Rainbolt’s job.
They bought an app that reads metadata in images?
Not sure how that’s useful to the police. I’m not a criminal but I’d definitely never take pictures of a crime I committed. And even if you took a picture, as long as you’re not outside there is NO way AI can figure that out and be actually correct(outside of dumb luck).
This will result in so many false positives and putting in the hands of individuals that will genuinely believe the hype that these tools have superhuman intelligence
It can’t be that good when the demo is „pre selected photos“
because i’m pretty sure i have many photos i’ll have no idea how to locate
Cops are too dumb to know that EXIF data exists.
Y’all can thank the Pokémon go craze for your participation in building your shackles.

„cops are buying“? That’s pretty vague
Don’t EXIF files contain this information already? Like, isn’t as easy as just looking up the coordinates? Are cops too dumb to do this without AI?
I actually saw a demo that did this a couple of years ago. It was the thesis work of a single guy, and could geolocate photos to anywhere within the trainingset with quite good accuracy. Not pinpoint but generally within a couple of miles in a country.
I’d assume things have developed since then.
What insane people even think of making these „products“?
lol I wonder how it would work if I take pictures in the woods would it still be able too probably if it can see the surrounding area but I guess if your in a brush area you’d be good I’m stoned so don’t mind my dumb thoughts
In case people don’t understand, your phone images have metadata on them with location data. Some places strip the metadata, while others don’t. Truth Social is is run by idiots that didn’t strip this data, so that’s why when January 6th happened they knew exactly who was in the capital.
this sounds illegal in 100 different ways and horrifying breach of privacy in at least a dozen ways. the amount of mistakes this is going to make and lawsuits is going to be massive!
All that says to me is that I should attend the next protest carrying a street sign in Portugese.
If you hear how that one geoguesser identifies locations so fast you can understand how easy it would be to automate, it just took image ai tech to catch up. Just have a catalogue of road signs, power poles, trees, and other identifiers based on location and it can list likely places.
You can actually just do this with the base LLMs
Hmmm sounds like an overly complicated way to simply look at the metadata of the image…
so the answer to „what fucking moron is buying AI products“ the answer is cops
Would they be mad if there was a db of all their faces and anyone was able to get theor information?
