> GeoGuesser's entire dataset
No, it is not included, however there must be quite a lot of pictures on internet for most cities.. Geoguesser data is same as Google's street view data and it probably contains billions of 360 degree photos.

Bears aren't always tearing people apart, that's a movie trope with little connection to reality. Black bears in particular are smart and social enough to befriend their food sources. But a hungry bear, or a bear with cubs, that's a different story. Even then bears may surprise you. Once in Alaska, a mama bear got me to babysit her cubs while she went fishing -- link: https://arachnoid.com/alaska2018/bears.html https://arachnoid.com/alaska2018/bears.html .
- suddenlybananas 1y agoWhy do you say it's not included? Why wouldn't they include it.
- sebzim4500 1y agoIf every photo in streetview was included in the training data of a multimodal LLM it would be like 99.9999% of the training data/resource costs. It just isn't plausible that anyone has actually done that. I'm sure some people include a small sample of them, though.
- bluefirebrand 1y agoWhy would every photo in streetview be required in order to have Geoguessr's dataset in the training data?
- bee_rider 1y agoI’m pretty sure they are saying that Geoguessr's just pulls directly from Google Streetview. There isn’t a separate Geoguessr dataset, it just pulls from Google’s API (at least that’s what Wikipedia says).
- bluefirebrand 1y agoI suspect that Geoguessr's dataset is a subset of Google Streetview, but maybe it really is just pulling everything directly
- bee_rider 1y agoMy guess would be that they pull directly from street-view, maybe with some extra filtering for interesting locations. Why bother to create a copy, if it can be avoided, right?
- clbrmbr 1y agoYet. This is a good rebuttal when someone quips that we “are about to run out of data”. There’s oh so much more, just not in the form of books and blogs.
