what's up everybody, TCM back with another video, and today, quite honestly, I am creeped out. So, this comes into a story that happened actually just yesterday, and I have been thinking about this ever since. So, I'm going to walk you through the story, and then I'm going to walk you through what is the creepiest ocean tool that I have encountered to date. So, backstory. Yesterday, I was having a one-on-one meeting with a student, and he had mentioned to me that he was one of the few people that had solved an OSINT challenge that I posted a long time ago. I think three people solved it. It was really complex, and he did it. So, we got on the topic of just chatting about OSINT, and he told me about this challenge that he had heard about, and somebody had finally solved. We were talking about old OSINT challenges and really complex challenges, and I'm going to bring this up on my screen. So, he was telling me about this. It is called Find Satoshi, and basically, this was a challenge where

all that had happened was provided a picture of this guy and said find him. Okay, this is what it looks like. This is an alternate reality game, I guess was called Perplex City, and they had different puzzles, and this is one of the puzzles. So, it just says my name is Satoshi, and they said okay, how do we find this guy given this picture, no real indication as to who he is, where he is, etc. So, all we have is a first name. So, eventually, people are able to identify where he was at the time, which was the small little town in France, really good ocean skills. They were able to find this. Somebody went out and took a picture in front of the same building where he was at. Um, really cool. You can see the background has changed quite a bit, even the landscape there. But um, what's neat is how he was actually found. Um, so if you scroll through this little article, and you can go to this to find satoshi.com. Um, down here, I was reading and said, Hey, there was a

reddit user in 2020 that used AI facial recognition with a tool called Pim Eyes to discover a photograph of a man holding a beer, and that's this guy right here. Um, they were able to do further research based on this photo and find information, find out where he worked, go ahead and identify him, send him an email, and indeed it was him. Okay, it took 15 years to find somebody, but AI facial recognition found this person. So, I said, Okay, what on earth is this website? Because I've never heard of it. When I'm doing reverse image searching, I'm looking for image searching, I'm looking through Google, Bing, Yandex, like the typical search engines, but I've never heard of Pim Eyes. So, I went here, pimeyes.com. You can do this for free. You get 10 or I think 10 searches a day for free, which is pretty nice. A few things before you go just dropping photos in here and doing searching. Um, we're about to see how creepy this is, by the way. Um, understand that this is, uh, there's not a

really good safe search feature. You have to pay for that, so you will likely see dicks um and in the search that I'm going to do. There will be no dicks. It's going to be dick-free, except for myself, who sometimes I am a dick. Otherwise, dick-free search, but I cannot guarantee that for you, so make sure that you're comfortable with that because the safe search is not great. They do blur out other people and they try to have blurring of um surrounding things, but sometimes still the dick still gets into the photo. So with that uh in place and with that acknowledged, I'm going to show you the photo that I use. So I thought to myself, you know, I want to use a photo that nobody has ever seen before. It's in a situation that you know is just something that was personal to me and never made it to the internet. Now you can upload a photo or you can take a a selfie and um I shared this with uh Casey John Ellis last night and he took a selfie and he

said it worked fantastic, and it just shows you what AI is capable of and how scary this is. Anyway, uh, topless picture alert coming in. I took this photo of me. This is me with a dolphin, and I wanted to test and see what they could do with this photo. So, all I did was come in and upload that. I'm going to do that now and just drag and drop onto here. It takes a couple of seconds, and then it finds your face, automatically picks it out. If you have multiple people in your photograph, it will ask you which face you want to search for, or you could search for both. Um, you can see where it does blurring around here on the sides and over here. It tries to blur anything out but the face. Um, I think that's partially for sales purpose, like it's gonna say, Hey, um, like this photo here, if you wanna go find this photo, and you hit open image or open website, it's going to say, Hey, you need to pay money for this now. I was so impressed yesterday that I paid money. I paid 30 bucks for

the month subscription because you get 25 searches a day. And I just started like, oh, sending random people on the internet. I would grab a random photo and see if I can identify who that person was just because this tool is so powerful. But literally, like, this pulls up from Teachable, from ILF, websites I don't even know. Apparently, there's a picture of me on the Queen City Skitty's website. I did not know that. And you could just scroll through here and like, I mean, look at this. This is all me. This is my face right now. Honestly, like last night when I was doing this, this is all me. And then they give you some lower score results. But look, this is a photo of me for, I mean, it's from YouTube, but that's from high school. I got a lip ring. I hadn't had braces yet. Like, my hair is a mop. So, it's able to identify your face over the years. So, this is what, 15-year-old photo comparatively. Um, it's identified me here and I'm not

gonna scroll down any further just to be safe because, uh, you know, who knows with the dicks again. But otherwise, this is absolutely crazy. It's absolutely bonkers. Uh, I, you know, go play with it. I have no affiliation to this, but this is something that I'm going to absolutely add into my repertoire for ocean skills. And this leads us to the debate of good versus bad. Uh, I think there's a lot of good that can come from this tool doing facial recognition and being able to identify, uh, people, especially if you're looking for, like, a missing person or somebody that's, like, wanted, and you have a screenshot or a picture of their face from a camera. You might be able to upload it here, find their Facebook profile, or find some pictures, and be able to identify them fairly quick, especially if they're a dangerous individual. Um, on the flip side of that, this is really limiting our privacy, and there's a lot of bad that comes with the good of this AI. And this AI, to me, is very

very scary, and it's scary how advanced we're getting. Who knows where it's going to be in five years or ten years, but for me to upload a photo of myself from a couple of years ago and just nothing. Nobody's ever seen it before. Take my face, go scan it, and find all those pictures of me. I'm terrified, honestly. Creepiest, creepiest ocean tool to date. I'm not gonna lie though, I'm totally gonna use it when I'm doing missing person searches and doing other searches for ocean cases. I think that this could be an incredibly valuable tool. At least for the one month, I'm gonna go play with it and buy it. But again, I have no affiliation to this tool. Nothing at all. I just wanted to share it, show you what's out there, and why I got creeped out. I figured I had to make a video about this. So, um, that's it for this video. I want to keep it short and sweet, so

Thanks to Garrett for pointing me to the fine Satoshi and getting me down that rabbit hole, and I've ended up finding this. So, um, you never know how you're gonna stumble upon a tool.
