I had it trying to guess the economic status of a snow leopard. > The image centers on a single snow leopard; there are no humans present. The leopard's expression is alert and slightly wary but not aggressive. It's difficult to definitively determine the leopard's age or exact health from the image, but it appears to be an adult in relatively good physical condition. There are no clear indications of its economic st…

The economic status thing is interesting. I can’t help but wonder if there’s bias there.

I uploaded a picture of me and a friend. I am Caucasian, he is of African descent. It said that my attire indicated I was of a higher socio-economic status than him. I was wearing a black t-shirt with a worn print. He was wearing a shirt and sports jacket.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Ente is client side E2EE at rest, on device AI, open source and audited. E2EE solves all of these issues as long as it's open source and reproducible. Efforts like these should be praised.

So then how can it be a paid service?

You can self-host Ente. The paid plans are if you choose to backup your photos with them, which is replicated across 3 different providers.

I once was foolish enough to upload a lot of personal photos to what was Picasa Web Albums integrated with desktop Google Picasa software back in 2007, but then years later deleted all of them. To this day I keep wondering whether Google still keeps all that photos somewhere in data lake warehouse.

There is no point in trying. You're just making it worse for human viewers

This is already amazing, but one possible idea of improvement: Use the metadata (time and coordinates) to look up possible landmarks in the area or possible events/gatherings/conferences/etc that took place near the location and during that time, then add those to the prompt.

I posted some images that showed a well-known local landmark during a christmas fair event, as well as view of a close city.

The model accurately described the architectural details of the landmark that could be inferred from the photo, mentioned that there seems to be some event going on and made some speculations about the city in the background - but purely from the photo it had of course no way of knowing which landmark, event and city it was looking at.

I see this is slightly underestimating the amount of information you can extract from the photo: If you have a GIS database, it's not hard to know this stuff (or at least get a list of likely candidates) - and the kind of actors that this project is warning against very likely have one.

Also I'd be interested to see if the model could combine the context and the details from the photo to make some interesting additional observations.

Always great to read about excellent linux command line apps and how to use them, cheers.

This is just an ad for their photo service. Which presumably has terrible search features, if it doesn't use AI to analyse them. That's one of the best features in Google Photos!

It is a weird advertisement when Ente (the name of the service) will also see your photos.

I think it's a pretty clever advert to be fair.

And I really like some of the stuff they are doing.

Their TOTP app is great.

Clearly better than nothing, but how does it work with perceptual hashes? I gave it five minutes to try to get pHash to run locally but didn't manage to get any useful results from it, I was probably holding it wrong.
