Have you heard of the site They See Your Photos (https://theyseeyourphotos.com/)?

It uses something called Google Vision to analyse photos, extracting marketing information and coming up with predictions.

It's creepy.

I'm more pro-AI than the average guy, but sometimes even I am worried by the things it does.

I loaded a random photo from my phone; here's the analysis.

I've been playing it yesterday and it seems to over interpret some things and you can see aspects of its training data. Send a photo of anyone in a rundown part of Bristol and it describes them as being into "urban exploration" as "living in a rundown part of a city with alcohol and drug issues" doesn't quite seem to occur to it -though it does get close. And then goes on to suggest products to try and sell them.

Unimpressed by #HashiCorp

We use #terraform in our service deployments and now the teams that do that will be having to decide what to do. All actions are going to cost.

The danger Hashicorp have to fear is if another open source fork of their current code gains traction. I can see motivation there
