"The cameras know too much. All cameras capture information about the world [...] The phone manufacturers and app makers seem to agree that selfies drive their business ecosystems. They’ve dedicated enormous resources to taking pictures of faces."https://t.co/7hTebh3N0U https://t.co/5Yi6LzPNbd
"Night Sight, a new feature for the Google Pixel, is the best-explained example of how this works [...] camera is smart enough to know what color they are supposed to have [...] Google’s camera is not capturing what is, but what, statistically, is likely." https://t.co/fQLkMVrzYK https://t.co/6CETDm7FUu
"Google and Apple both want to make the HDR process as automatic as our eyes’ adjustments. [...] As with the skin-smoothing, it no longer really matters if that’s what our eyes would see. Some new products’ goal is to surpass our own bodies’ impressive visual abilities."
"The global economy is wired up to your face. And it is willing to move heaven and Earth to let you see what you want to see."And it wants to see everything.https://t.co/86CjPrYTPF
We've got tech that can monitor images for make and model of the coffee pot in the background of your daughter's selfie. It wouldn't take much to geolocate where she lives and identify the person who bought it and sell them ads.We could do this in 2013 https://t.co/gW7XaMyzLt
Stallman was right.https://t.co/gIDaZs4wG4

"You can’t ever “turn off” color correction in a digital camera, because its sensor doesn’t see color in the first place. Color is always constructed in a picture, never simply reproduced."https://t.co/FYbA6DtXeNhttps://t.co/jbuzWpwu69
If I add in estimated camera model data (sensor noise pattern?) and account for AI color shifting, then pair it up with public CCTV camera streams from the area, I can get further refinement.Makes me wonder if you can use cloud formations to dox people. 2/2
Oh. I could theoretically use deep learning + data coming out of services like geoguessr to reverse engineer what expert humans are noticing in photos to narrow in on location.I have designs for a price guessing estimation game based on similar principles from 2010.
Training an AI to hallucinate plasuable candidate positions on the planet might possibly coincide with an input image by running this algorithm against NOAA's cloud database, but in reverse. Then send to a team of humans to verify and cross correlate. https://t.co/3p2MPEHMsp
There's already a lot of work in robotics about landmark detection. Clouds are temporal landmarks. https://t.co/jVyWd8ygZk
We don't need NOAA weather data if we can just leverage multi-view reconstruction techniques like these from 11 years ago. https://t.co/RvSi3QKo5c https://t.co/wKPb9m7uCf but acting on survielence cameras that have a view of the atmosphere.Reconstruction like an insect's eye.
There's already some work on using photogammatry techniques to recreate atomspheric clouds. https://t.co/2GGkulOIC0 https://t.co/UyU753Bwon and I found a review of using NNs to speed it up. https://t.co/0gSHTtz8UhSo yeah. My brain sees patterns and meta patterns.
I wonder if they ever found whomever it was that was doing large scale scanning of the states.https://t.co/YZUGYr5zfIDo you think they were doing this? https://t.co/uqnGgS5Ij8
Could be a false alarm? But this is also what you'd report if it ended up being a covert op and a three letter agency stepped in.https://t.co/h9n9XFMrRw
I recreate these ideas by running a thought experiment of "what if we taught computers how to do super-forecasting like I can"https://t.co/DL2wqrTgkd

Finding a eulogy on youtube, and a song about memories in a cardboard box. With 100 views. Seems to be an original work.Stealing your soul with a moving-picture and locking it up in a keepsake box. Precious Memories.Facebook is a digital cardboard box.https://t.co/0AUw01dmRh

Weaponized Autism, but used to train AI attention models using cameras trained on people's eye movements recorded on twitch?If I can learn to emulate him by watching his eyes during a livefeed, so can an AI.https://t.co/0UdcWCYHTRhttps://t.co/oRnkArVtPe
They be making minecraft playing robots by watching youtube videos.. why not just go one step further and create a copy ninja. https://t.co/cPfdMMZOwt https://t.co/79FN5onCqe
Funny things happen when you're autistic and learn to get over your fear of eyes. People's attention begins to infect your brain. https://t.co/BPYKxxFlwL

Visual motor synesthesia. I can hallucinate how people say things that are in languages I've never spoken, and replay it on my lips.https://t.co/dIpVNVz93b

I remembered the other day how, as a child, I had emotion-color synethesia that went away with puberty.I am starting to see words in colors again.My entire twitter web lighting up like christmas lights. Using the color tones from diablo 2's rare items to highlight excitement. https://t.co/13LOqBc597
