An AI tool can match an Instagram photo to security camera footage from the exact moment it was taken, revealing your location and what you were doing. Caitlin Sarian explains how the technology works and why it's a privacy nightmare, even though it's technically impressive.
A guy on Twitter just revealed software that can take an Instagram photo and use AI to search open cameras in a location to see if they can find the video of you taking the photo that day. So the guy who created Die With Me, which is that chat app you can only use when you have less than 5% battery, just unveiled this software where you give it like the Instagram photo on the left, and on the right you see this AI searching through a bunch of open cameras all around the world to see if they can find the people in the photo with the proper location and give you the video of the photo actually being taken. Brilliant. This must have been so hard to put together. The effect is fantastic and it's a great way to remind people that you are constantly being watched and so much more of your information is out there than you think. Also, it's way easier to find your location at all times than you think. I got his Twitter. He's got a YouTube video on it if you want to learn more about it. He also has a way to support his page. Yeah, I think this is dope and terrifying.
