GeoGuessr is a game that puts you in a random place on Google Streetview, and you have to find out where you are. One absolute GENIUS at it, @georainbolt, describes in this video some of the methods he uses to figure out where a photo was taken - and watching him do his magic is kind of incredible.

Check out his video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rl2Q9xH8e7M or his whole channel for more frankly mind blowing stuff.

Today we talk about some recent news about Zoom, namely the widely spread story that they've updated their Terms of Service to allow use of Customer Content for training AI (which turns out to be... not quite true), and that they're demanding employees come back to the office. The irony is almost overpowering.

Today's episode is on the possibility that cybersecurity insurance is at such a scale that it might be impossible for insurance companies to actually cover. We don't know much about it, so we have a lot of questions - but these guys at @lawfaremedia do, so read their article on it to be more educated than we are: https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/if-cyber-is-uninsurable-the-united-states-has-a-major-strategy-problem

So, Netflix advertised a job for up to $9 00,000 salary in a role related to AI, all while there's a historical strike happening in the actors and writers industry. To be fair, it's not a product manager role - but is it a mistake? This headline from an article in @theGuardian definitely makes it seem that way: https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2023/jul/26/netflix-ai-job-hollywood-strikes
