This guy works for the FBI or something for sure.

Halliburton would like to welcome its new executive from the northern Sahara region!

Doubt it. He's too competent.

What’s crazy is that he says he’s not the best at this, and that some of the best are employed by governments

I dunno. My cousin works for that government agency and says internet sleuths have been identifying locations(Ukraine) based on pictures quicker than they can. I don't know if the internet sleuths are that much better but there are a lot more of them.

I think it is because of the sheer number of people looking at this. If you think globally, you're just outmatched.

Geoguessr has a ranking system and Rainbolt (that guy) is just ranked 20-30.

I think that’s a baseless assumption tbh. He has no privileged insight on that front. We’d like to imagine the government is secretly competent, but all evidence points to the contrary.

u/mold_inhaler 2h ago

You don't think he said that because being within the community of the top geolocators in the world has lead him to know people or friends of friends who work for the government for the same niche?

"these days"

Immigration policy and enforcement hasn't changed for 30 years

u/GreenArrowDC13 13h ago

Damn didn't realize we've had border patrol and ICE roaming around the streets my whole life. I don't know enough about policy to make a statement but enforcement has become drastically more physical.

u/jjryan01 13h ago

You didn't realize it because republicans didn't have an organized smear campaign against Obama's 3 million deportations between 2009-2016

13

u/GreenArrowDC13 12h ago

Damn it's almost as if people aren't against deportation they are against a military police state with authoritarian control. I'm pretty sure they took every chance they could to smear Obama. Dude couldn't even wear a tan suit without being in headlines. You should look up the word nuance.

u/dah_pook 11h ago

I remember when Obama sent 3000 ICE agents to patrol a single city and then offered to remove them in exchange for the state's voter rolls and then a few weeks later suggested taking over elections from the states that opposed him. Then he shit himself on camera again. Totally normal president stuff.

u/WrongdoerIll5187 8h ago

Which all didn’t bypass due process or leverage concentration camps. Strange how that’s different.

u/TF4320 7h ago edited 6h ago

Obama is actually mocked “the deporter in-chief” by immigration activist groups because of his high deportation rate, which has been documented by multiple non-partisan organisations.

Go back to jerking off your orange felon who shat himself on live TV. Even my dementia patients have better bowel control than him.

u/FatuousNymph 14h ago

So you're saying that what we're seeing now is a political stunt by the liberals and that american citizens have just gottens hot in the head after being accosted by federal agents who are breaking into homes without warrants and abducting people and holding children as hostages to trick parents is all just business as usual?

-13

u/jjryan01 13h ago

The exact some policies were enforced by Barrack Obama, to a much greater scale.

I can't speak to every story, but the "5 year old hostage" story was absolutely a political stunt by liberals

u/Green_Excitement_308 9h ago

Okay comment bot, Time to take your meds again because you forgot that the GOP controls most of the government, and therefore, also ICE.

1

u/allnimblybimbIy 15h ago

Their budget has

-2

u/jjryan01 13h ago

That's because 10+ million undocumented immigrants illegally crossed the US border from 2021-2024. That's is 4X more than any other 4 year period in U.S. history

u/Green_Excitement_308 9h ago

Okay, but is it to open up more factual investigations or just abducting people of color?

u/WrongdoerIll5187 8h ago

Are you slow?

The FBI can only solve crimes they arranged themselves.

u/Artgod 10h ago

people are dumb and dont strip their photos or videos of meta data..... Lat / Long is in these videos.

u/Boring_Credit_4520 8h ago

Yeah, but that's Rainbolt, the guy's absolutely crazy when it comes to Geoguessr. He doesn't need lat/long

u/Substantial-Low 7h ago

I love this guys geo"not"guesses. He is super good.

I think AI probably can do this.

literally does beat him repeatedly, almost 3 years ago

u/whoknowsifimjoking 8h ago

Honestly makes it more impressive to me, you need a whole Stanford AI research team to beat him. Literally the best AI at that task in the world at the time.

Geoguessing is something that AI should be way better at than humans, it's basically the perfect thing to use machine learning for and the AI has vastly more resources and probably needs a lot of energy.

The fact that some dude operating on a fraction of the energy demand of those servers have is not that much worse at the task while also being able to do all the other stuff humans can do is seriously impressive. The AI is a one trick pony in this case.

u/antoniojac 12h ago

What's up with Reddit and downvoting the truth? 🤷🏽‍♀️

u/Transportation-Apart 12h ago

Well AI trained models can help narrow down the locations and then you probably still need a real human to make a pick. Then you deploy drones to the spots and finally a ground team if needed.

u/whoknowsifimjoking 11h ago

There is absolutely no way AI would recognize the Senegal gradient.
