Re: They see your photos
#12These are the obvious things they can see in the photos. Not shown are the various assumptions they'll make about you based on your photos such as: gay, likely uneducated, high income earner, most likely republican, narcissistic, etc. Also not shown is what they'll learn by the totality of the data they collect from your pictures such as how often you go on vacation, how often you're seen in new clothing and what kin…
For most people, it is too taxing to be on guard 24/7 and they have other things going on in their life that are more pressing like paying rent. I don't blame people for not thinking twice about that Ring camera because unlike most open-source solutions, "it just works."

That's why it would be nice for democracy to work and give us some enforced regulations

#14As much as I appreciate the effort to create a technological solution that avoids big tech like Google, I find the best way is still prints. I'm usually 'the photographer' in the family and after an event I just order prints to the house of the relevant family members (or bring them over myself). Nothing can really compare to holding the physical product in your hand. Additionally, due to the small cost of prints, th…
Have you checked the privacy policy of your photo lab/printer? It's possible that they're collecting digital copies of your pictures, selling them (or just information about them) to third parties, as well as selling them/turning them over to the police and other government agencies.

#16Delay between uploading and response led to me uploading the pic 3 times.
The result: The AI analyzed the pic 3 times and each time added more detail - like the model of the burned out SUV, text on a traffic sign and more in-depth analysis of objects laying around the SUV.
A forth upload yielded some pure conjecture; it seemed to be looking for increasingly sinister causes.
There appears to be some damage to the windows of the car that is more than just fire damage suggesting that the vehicle may have been vandalized or attacked before the fire occurred. The debris scattered around the car is inconsistent, suggesting a possibility that the fire was not accidental.Re: They see your photos

Woah woah woah, let’s not get hasty here. Can’t we think of the shareholders for once?

#18I uploaded an old image of a keyboard PCB from when I was troubleshooting it and it gave a very detailed response including naming the keyboard the PCB comes from, the time of day the photo was likely taken, and where the photo was likely taken.
> ... the time of day the photo was likely taken, and where the photo was likely taken.
Possibly from the image file's Exif data: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif#Geolocation

Which ones do those things?

#20It'd be more terrifying if it didn't hallucinate earrings on somebody whose ears are out of frame, make comments about the left shoe of a barefoot child being out of focus, and so forth...
