#42Imagine how much Meta has on your overall profile from your fb photo uploads.
> your fb photo uploads
Don't forget other people's uploads. You don't have to use facebook to be on there. At one time not using it probably only served to make you more interesting to the system.

> 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. I uploaded a photo of myself as a child and based on the house in the background, the brand of shoes on my feet, and the clothes my dad was wearing, it flagged me as “middle class”, so at least one part of your claim is incorrect. I suspect…
I uploaded a race photo and it said that I appeared economically comfortable because I was wearing running gear like a hydration pack.
Well, are you?

#44I uploaded an image of a 6-panel hand-drawn cartoon I created and it very accurately described the scene and overall theme of the joke, even pointing out that it was hand-drawn, used no colors, and that the text in the speech bubbles was very legible. I did not expect that level of detail.

#45This 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.
The service is end to end encrypted with local AI for indexing.
I tried it a few months ago however and the upload/encryption was so slow from their desktop app it would have taken weeks to migrate my photos to the service.

#46This is really cool. I posted a photo of what I think was my great grandparents into it and it explained their circumstances in fascinating ways (to the point of mentioning aged clothing, a detailed I overlooked). I’ve been trying to figure out how to process hundreds of my own scanned photos to determine any context about them. This was convincing enough for me to consider google’s vision API. No way I’d ever trust…
Where is the difference in trust level between google and openai coming from?

Terrible search without AI is a bit of a stretch. Also Google does not have a monopoly on object/face recognition in photos. There are self-hosted solutions that readily provide you with that without feeding a faceless AI with your photos while boiling the ocean.

Which ones do those things?
Almost* all of them. At the very least its worth hoarding until an opportunity comes up. [*] Reduced from all.
Are you suggesting that all photo printing labs secretly keep copies of their clients photos (including professional photographers selling prints worth thousands) and reselling them as their own? I don’t think that any website terms are going to make that okay?
I understand this in how Instagram and Facebook terms read, that they can sublicense your images, and I’m not a lawyer, but sublicense doesn’t mean resell as their own? It’s still your copyright.

I used to think like you do... up to around 2015 or so. Then I had to answer the question "how can this possibly be happening?" over a hundred times since. I now ask, "why wouldn't it be happening?" Uncle Sam has the deepest pockets in history.
Every piece of commercial software is indeed hoarding anything it can get on you. Your employer is probably selling your pay stubs. The world has changed.
Anyway John Oliver had a funny piece on data brokers if you'd like a ten-minute primer. United States of Secrets by PBS Frontline is a two-hour extravaganza.
