TBOT #2: Apple Scans Your Photos, Big Beautiful Surveillance, Google’s AI for Filmmaking

Описание: Hey friends, welcome to another episode of #TakeBackOurTech with Hakeem Anwar.

AI appears to be taking over. We see it in our devices, our social media, the videos we watch online, and now our government. Does organic intelligence stand a chance?

🪄 We aim for our show to be well-researched, well-informed and focused on the most impactful stories all in 20 minutes (ain’t nobody got more time than that)

⭐ PLUS - Each story comes with recommendations and there’s one cool tech trick or open-source solution every week.

In today’s episode:

Google’s New AI Tool: Google’s releases its new AI video tool, Veo 3 + Flow - and suggests its the future for filmmaking. I sat through a few short AI films to tell you if filmmakers and creatives are at risk.
Apple Scanned Yo Photos: Apple just used the photos on your updated iMac and iPhone without your consent throug a feature called Enhanced Visual Search. Why’d they do this? The answer is sinister, find out today.
Big Beautiful Bill: Is that because Palantir has close to $1B in contracts with the US Government? I looked into Palantir’s projects and even found a guide to use their software, we’ll find out how these systems work
Humanoid Delivery Robots At Your Door: Amazon is getting ready to test out delivery bi-pedal robots in controlled locations. We’ll look at the details and the recent developments of robotics to see how soon we’ll expect them at our door.
Self-Hosted AI: Hakeem messes around with Jan.ai - a private & locally hosted AI application that can connect to downloaded AI models, like Brighteon’s Neo - an AI trained on holistic health books.
We’ll be publishing full posts and clips of each of these stories next week!
