- anamexis 3y agoWhy would random 1 second snippets of audio from when photos were being taken be useful to advertisers?
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoBecause there are billions of them.
- fauxpause_ 3y agoThere are billions of ants
- bastawhiz 3y agoAll of those individual seconds don't add up to a sum greater than their parts. There are trillions (quadrillions?) of seconds of reality that those same cameras/microphones didn't capture. Capturing a single second of each of a billion people's lives isn't really all that useful, especially for advertisers.
- SketchySeaBeast 3y ago"Based upon our spying people spend a large amount of time saying '...eese'. Can someone please find out what 'eese' is?"
- TeMPOraL 3y agoDo people really even say that?
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoOnce upon a time people did in fact say "Cheese" when taking pictures.
- TeMPOraL 3y agoYes, but I thought that this was long ago, and since then, saying this got... cheesy.
- NotYourLawyer 3y agoI’m willing to bet that an AI could learn a lot about a person by listening to a large number of short audio clips, together with the photos themselves.
- bastawhiz 3y agoOne second isn't even long enough to hear the full pronunciation of all of most English words. Let's say people take ten photos per day. Let's generously say that captures ten random spoken words. Ten random words per day is hardly enough for a _human_ to learn anything about a person, let alone AI. AI cannot magically conjure data from noise. And when you think about what people take pictures of (their parking spot, selfies, nudes, landmarks, birthday cakes, sunsets, cats), what's heard is likely not even relevant to the picture taker's life or interests. If I look at all of the photos I've taken in the last two weeks, I've got: - Cat (2) - Building (1) - Stuff in my home (6) - Selfie (4) All thirteen photos were taken in ~silence.
- tough 3y agoIt takes 3 seconds of you speaking to clone your voice with AI
- fauxpause_ 3y agoIf you accept that as true then you also have to accept that your voice is hopelessly copyable and defense against that is futile. So it’s not really important.
- tough 3y ago> then you also have to accept that your voice is hopelessly copyable and defense against that is futile. I kinda agree, still worth it to mention to your family or whatever some kinda safe word or whatever. I speak several languages so I guess any scammer impersonating me would focus on one, but who knows you can also make it speak any language I guess. In order to be safe you'll have to pre-establish a safe word only you and the other person know in order to avoid fake scams etc
- alephxyz 3y agoUltrasonic beacon tracking + being able to tell if someone is indoors, in a vehicle, at a concert, sporting event, watching something on tv, etc
- SketchySeaBeast 3y agoI would expect that you could tell if someone was indoors, in a vehicle, at a concert, or sporting event based upon the content of the photo.
- bastawhiz 3y agoMost photos have a timestamp and geotag. Knowing whether you're in a vehicle, at a concert or sporting event, or really doing just about anything can be gathered from that information as well as whatever the photos is of. One second of audio isn't giving much (additional) useful data.
- godelski 3y agoTraining ML models
- hackernewds 3y ago??? is this a meme
- godelski 3y agoWhy would this be a meme?
- umeshunni 3y agoBecause it's what people who have no clue say when they have run out of reasons for their conspiracy theory. Q: Why would anyone do that? A: It's to train an ML model, maan.. to train an AI, maaan... to target ads, maaaan..
- godelski 3y agoShort voice clips are used to train ML models. But you might also replace ML with ads in your comment and we could make a similar argument.
