Yeah! Humans do OSINT. Some do it super well.

So what is different about an automated house locator as a service that uses dwelling interior pics?

Turns out we counted on friction to protect us.

Not rules. Not norms.

There just weren't millions of Trevor Rainbolts that could act instantly OSINT anything that invasive.



It was a cost thing.

Meanwhile the datasets were getting collected. Zillow. AirBnB.. etc etc.

When the right invasive automation came along... the privacy / rights intrusion became automated & scaled. Unstoppable.

And we were left unprotected.

Like with so many privacy & power things.
Humans can do this too, check out @georainbolt on Youtube
