Yeah. I got a hunch of that a while ago, while trying some "old" scenarios of de-anonymization we used to do by hand. Just asking questions and posting pictures got surprisingly accurate results. A single picture with (to me) no significant landmark could lead to localizing a specific part of a city, and that was using a local LLM with a relatively small model, running on a 16GB VRAM 4060Ti.

It is now time to remember fondly the time where the younger people were warned by older people to not post all their stuff online, not over-share, be cautious about strangers, etc. I'm not sure when we lost that, but oh boy, it's a festival.

    I remember when it was considered outrageous that Flash would phone home and report its version, because that would leak the fact that a given machine was running a given version of Flash.

    We sure don't live in that world today.
