What’s up with this website popping in my feed for the 6th time in less than a week ?

Edit : nevermind, after digging the website for a grand total of 5 seconds, it appears to be an advertising website for Ente (which has a paid plan besides being self hostable). That’s shitty marketing from them if you ask me

6th time? I saw posts citing this site only twice here on Lemmy: 12 days ago and now, across two different communities from two different instances.

From a quick search on my instance, I could find 3 posts that are still up, and I could also find specific comments I remembered from a post that got removed since.

That’s at least 4 occurrences on Lemmy alone

I did not criticize people sharing it here, but rather Ente themselves for making vague fear-mongering claims for viral marketing purposes

Ente is trying to be an end to end encrypted version of GooglePhotos.

It was made by the creator of ente which is a free (5 GB) open source alternative to Google Photos. There are paid plans for more storage.

The creator was a Google developer who left after he found out Google was helping the US military train drones with AI.

Yeah I’m not sure how trustworthy it is either.

Obviously, don’t upload any photos to the demo site that you wouldn’t want shared. That’s pretty basic internet 101. The point is to demonstrate the amount and types of information Google infers from its users’ data. So feed it a pic you don’t care about, or try with the supplied images.

It would legitimately not surprise me at this point if Google starts serving precise bra ads to your girlfriend after discerning cup size from her nudes.

It looks like the prompt is something like: look at this image and tell me information about the subjects class, race, sex, and age. Give specific details about facial features/expressions, clothing and accessories. Try to determine details about the location and season.

I gave it a screenshot of a selfie I just sent to my wife after a haircut. It was about 60/40 on the details. I could see where the 40% went wrong.

Mildly interesting, nothing to write home about.

I think the 98% of people not in nerdy privacy communities like ours would be shocked about this so it is something to write hone about.

I mean, i’m into AI, and I think it’s cool. But it didn’t peg me as pasty white. It thought the parking lot was empty when it was full, It saw “reflections” in my glasses which were parking spot lines refracted. It made me feel lower middle class because I wore a collarless shirt.

The only thing it really nailed was, it’s winter, I’m ~ middle aged, a guy and wear glasses. At current it’s not breaking the guess who game :)
