Update: Google just sent me a statement saying it is “rolling back” this AI feature that let anyone make completely bullshit satellite images. Comes after our demos of the tool and those from OSINT researchers. One of the worst AI tools I’ve ever seen bsky.app/profile/jose...
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles.
This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused

there is something about broad-spectrum OSINT tools that prevent them from surviving very long on the clearnet. they seem to attract DDoSes, or DMCAs, or the ancient, brutal tool of the human language: death threats.

The hate against OSINT on Bluesky is bizarre.
Like any powerful tool, OSINT tools can be dangerous.
But it’s odd to see a bunch of weirdos constantly compare you to Satan.
Can you guys calm down?
I’m not interested in finding your house?? Besides the ethical angle, it probably smells terrible 🙄

VERY cool OSINT tool from @bellingcat.com uses SAR data to create real time damage est. since start of Iran War.
Using NSA Bahrain as an example, it's pretty darn solid.
