Mapping China’s Fentanyl Supply Chain to the U.S.

This 16-page OSINT report exposes real vendors, domestic Chinese platforms, and digital trafficking infrastructure — far beyond what Google can see.
We dug into the real China’s internal ecosystem — domains, seller communications, logistics tactics — and mapped how fentanyl flows toward the U.S.

The title is a bit confusing but this article points out a new vector of attack - or, actually, a new threat on an old vulnerability: social media posts can now be subject to #geolocation with heightened AI capabilities. https://www.pcgamer.com/hardware/theres-no-need-to-overshare-on-social-media-now-that-openais-new-chatbots-can-pinpoint-your-location-from-the-tiniest-details-in-images/ #AI #OSINT

Discussion of #tools you can use to download video on most platforms.

Chinwag SocialFediThing 🏳️‍🌈 (@FediThing@chinwag.org)We're in an age where important video and audio online may be deleted without warning and without any ability to find it elsewhere. There's a very useful tool which lets you store an offline copy of video and audio called YT-DLP: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp I don't normally like command line tools, but this is pretty easy to use. After you've installed it, you just type yt-dlp and then the URL of the video or audio, then it saves it as a DRM-free file on your computer. It works with a variety of different video and audio platforms. (This replaces an earlier tool called yt-dl which is no longer maintained.) #YouTube

(3/3) Recordo-me de uma pessoa do ex-twitter que por divertimento e com consentimento das pessoas fazia geolocalização de fotos apenas analisando os elementos visíveis da foto. Na altura investiguei e existe todo uma comunidade à volta da geolocalização com base de fotos e acreditem é trivialmente fácil fazê-lo com base na informação publica existente. Agora temos uma AI que o faz em poucos segundos com um simples comando de texto

(2/2) Eu passei a usar muito LLM em vez de motores de busca pois são mais eficazes em muitas circunstancias. Mas já previa que iria acontecer o problema abaixo. Por serem bons a fazer pesquisas tal também se aplica a imagens, sendo eficazes a descobridor localizações geográficas de fotos, abrindo todo o novo mundo aterrador de privacidade. Ter muita atenção com o que se partilha

(1/3) Em relação a AI, não tenho tido uma posição como os ludistas do sec XIX face à Revolução Industrial destruíam máquinas na esperança que o mundo voltasse atrás. Estas revoluções tecnológicas acontecem e não podem ser paradas e não devemos fingir que não estão a acontecer. Devemos sim tentar prever os seus impactos, minorar inconvenientes e mesmo proibir usos indevidos.
