You should assume any camera recording will turn into a model one way or another, if not for gnss denied navigation, it will be on facial recognition or such.

#53How useful is spatial data over time, does it decay or age much? Is the geographical data more useful, or are buildings and other structures more important? Genuinely don't know much in this space.
It's the combination of geographical data (maps) linked to its visual representation in the world (footage of structures, roads, landscape features) that is useful.
The geographical data already exists in digital maps. And I would expect competent militaries already have maps of enemy territory. It's the second part that was so far missing.
This combined set allows the training of AI models that can say, "When my surroundings look like x, that looks like y on a map".
So when your drone's GPS gets jammed, it can look at its surroundings, reference its (internal and offline) maps, figure out where it is, and navigate.

#54upon seeing the title i was only wondering - whose drones.

#55i remerber china bans it many years ago... and many people dont understand why.... never trust a USA product! and we even have youtube videos like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiJOHV9rIxU
I don’t think the standing committee is objectively that perceptive
But I do appreciate alot about what they are doing and choose to do
Reminds me more of a theme park. Yes, a heavy handed corporation runs it and if you have any dissent it won’t go well, but if you don’t choose to focus on that then it will be a joyous place and you have the opportunity to contribute to that energy and be rewarded by something that simulates a free market

#56I stopped scanning pokestops because the effort has outweighed the rewards. A lot of the time, the requests show up as "research tasks" for a point of interest that I quickly passed by and have no interest in returning to, besides the tasks related to taking pictures of your buddy pokemon in augmented reality. Looks like I made the right choice by stopping. They do indicate to you up front that they will use the data…
I believe some of the data was added to their scaniverse app.
I guess this also explains how they were paying for the free 3d model photogrammetry processing that app does.

#57Pokémon being used for war efforts is prime South Park material, too bad they already did that.

#58Niantics founder has CIA roots... None of this is surprising. https://www.binance.com/en/square/post/302386307352562
> Niantics founder has CIA roots This is not at all an honest way of saying "Niantics founder raised money from In-Q-Tel"
Being founded with funding from the CIA's venture capital arm seems tantamount to "CIA roots"

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
Videos are inherently large. There are better compression algorithms than what phone cameras generate by default, but video reencoding is slow, and the results still too large for "covert data channels". Normal players would have noticed the bandwidth and CPU usage, and volunteers have already agreed to data sharing, so there's no point in keeping secrets. Same as claims that the Facebook app listens to people talk:…
Why videos though? Photogrammetry is about still images. You don't need ALL angles of a target from a single user. Other users pile the needed data up, guided by their own pokemon locations.
Good point, maybe that could be done. But that's not what TFA is about, so you're not vindicated yet.
