For those asking for an example of using AI to do detective work by finding the exact location of a photo, here you go. I’ll use this picture and give it to o3 with the following prompt.
“Do some detective work and figure out exactly where this is.”
Here’s the response from o3. I haven’t check that it’s right, but all my other inquiries have been.
Short answer:
The photograph was taken just offshore of the Nā Pali Coast on the island of Kauaʻi, Hawai‘i — specifically in the open water a few hundred metres in front of the Kalalau / Honopū section of the coast (22.15 °N, -159.63 °W), looking back toward the cliffs.

How you can tell
Visual clue What it matches
Fluted, green volcanic ridges with deep vertical grooves The characteristic “cathedral”‐style pali (sea cliffs) of the Nā Pali Coast — nowhere else in Hawai‘i has that many parallel erosion gullies running straight down the face.
No development, road, or buildings at sea level The 16-mile Nā Pali shoreline is roadless wilderness; every other high-cliff stretch in the main Hawaiian Islands (like West Maui or Moloka‘i’s Kalaupapa) has at least a small settlement, lighthouse, or visible trail cut.
Low fringe of hala & ironwood trees right at the waterline Kalalau and Honopū valleys have the only pocket beaches on the coast, each edged by those species. From the water they appear as the thin, bright-green belt you see here.
Rainbow angle & lighting Early-morning sun over the open Pacific (behind the photographer) is exactly when paddlers and tour boats rounding Kalalau often get that textbook rainbow arc over the valley mouth.
Surf shot context Surf / paddle images showing a shaka just above a rising swell with these cliffs in the background are a bit of a rite-of-passage among Kauaʻi water-photographers — it’s a familiar framing from zodiac, kayak and SUP tours that moor off Kalalau Beach.
Put all that together and the only coastline that checks every box is Nā Pali. The shape of the headland and the tree-fringed flat behind it line up best with the Kalalau–Honopū stretch, so that pinpoints the spot within a few hundred metres.
Be careful of pictures you post. I’ve tested this a couple of time with some AI models, and its easy for it to pin point the location in the photo.
Even curvature in the hills behind you. Hard to not be paranoid in this environment..
This doesn’t even touch the derivatives market either!
The people you should listen to want to stay out of the spotlight.

It takes 10x more energy to defend than to attack. Don’t waste your energy.
“How foolish can you be? He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay! Should the created thing say of the one who made it, “He didn’t make me”? Does a jar ever say, “The potter who made me is stupid”?”

I want to take a nostr poll about who’s married / not.
Before being fully orange pilled, all my bitcoin was kept on an app called Voyager. It made ~6% APY on bitcoin.
My friend argued that my bitcoin needed to be taken off the exchange, but that 6% was a drug.
It took months to understand why earning interest on bitcoin didn’t make sense. Even so, keeping it there felt easier and rewarding.
My friend never let me feel comfortable about it. He took every opportunity to say it was a bad idea. As unnerving as it was, I moved off the exchange and into cold storage.
News started to come out about exchange insolvency, and people started to talk about Voyager being next. I convinced my friends and family to pull their btc off Voyager DAYS before they stopped withdrawals. Then Voyager filed for bankruptcy.
Two things allowed me to get by unscathed. A patient friend who put up with my questions but didn’t put up with my complacency. A willingness to ask questions and learn.
Two of my friends didn’t get their bitcoin off the exchange and lost it. Why didn’t I tell them? They previously expressed that they didn’t want to hear anymore about this stuff. It wasn’t malicious though. I genuinely forgot about them.
I thought I was looking at bees here haha.
The plebs of this past bull / bear market are going to be the innovators of this one. Soon as we get capital, we’re going to create the businesses we’ve dreamed about. Of course, integrating Bitcoin into it.
At least, that’s my plan.

Yep. Especially the Harvard studies influenced by Kelloggs that focus on fat instead of added sugar.
Just made a website which tracks nostr projects I've created that are approximately useful: https://stuff.fiatjaf.com/
Maybe they will be approximately useful to you too.

Who's going to add all the Steak 'n Shake locations to the BTC map? (https://btcmap.org/)
Everyone has less bitcoin than you think they do.
Interesting take.. would rather hold them accountable by not leaving the bitcoin on there? 😂

Hmm weird
You have great content!
No way you have cashews on your desk 😂
Dang man. Incredible you did this by yourself.
