Data is always worth something, eh.
Anyone who has ever touched their software knows how this will go…
Cliff notes?
Make a right turn, cut through Mr Robinson’s back yard.
I’m sorry Mrs Robinson! OOOOOHHHHH!!! I am for real!!! Never meant to make your family cry, I cut through your backyard a million times!
What do we need this for? Not clear what it does
Seems to be a tool for taking an image and Geo-locating it, even in cases where other sources of data like Googles street map cars are insufficient.
The issue is it’s going to be trained only on places people go. My understanding is that most geolocating systems are more focused on the uncommon or less traveled locations. Maybe I’m wrong, but I guess they’re probably tested it out before announcing it.
Maybe they will start/already have putting pokemon in locations that they need data for to make a more comprehensive map.
Seems questionably reliable as an independent system. Maybe could help refine more traditional systems? Not sure I understand a use case for this.
It definitely has applications in defense/Intel spaces. Knowing where a photo was taken can be really useful info.
It’s gonna be a bloodbath
