New website shows you how much Google AI can learn from your photos (arstechnica.com)

Software engineer Vishnu Mohandas decided he would quit Google in more ways than one when he learned that the tech giant had briefly helped the US military develop AI to study drone footage. In 2020 he left his job working on Google Assistant and also stopped backing up all of his images to Google Photos. He feared that his content could be used to train AI systems, even if they weren’t specifically ones tied to the Pentagon project. “I don't control any of the future outcomes that this will enable,” Mohandas thought. “So now, shouldn't I be more responsible?”

The site (TheySeeYourPhotos) returns what Google Vision is able to decern from photos. You can test with any image you want or there are some sample images available.

Hey I was just lookin into Immich, whats some hoops or caveats before I have to debug like I had to with Frigate?

I used the docker-compose template and it worked straight away. The one thing I have run into is that I can forget to update the server long enough that the app will stop connecting. That's happened either once or twice.

There is also a snap version of immich, makes all the pain go away... at least, the snap version hasn't had any breaking updates for me yet. It just keeps working.

You should consider also self-hosting Changedetection, which you can point at the Immich git repo to be notified when the version changes.
