The constant angular field of view is the disagreement. A camera in the mid-gigapixel to low-terapixel range could cover one city by using an appropriate lens at an arbitrary distance (including space).
Any sensor finer than that would either cover substantial amounts of "boring" area (e.g. nature preserves, agricultural areas), or increase the resolution beyond your target.
I don't think you understand what a "pixel" is.
If you want to see a 1 km x 1 km area at a resolution of 0.1m, then you will need 10 000 x 10 000 = 100 000 000 points on the image, AKA 100 megapixels. This is (ideally) independent of technology. You can walk around and take fifty 2 MP pictures and stitch them together, you can fly a drone a few hundred meters up and take a wide-angle shot, or you can fly a satellite overhead and take a picture from space. The distance doesn't matter.
From that, it's a simple extrapolation that it'll (again, ideally) take 100 MP/km^2 * 778 km^2... (read more)
I think a moderately-skilled person could outperform Claude here, but it's closer than you might think. Have you thought of running this experiment with a human on the other end?
I occasionally give technical support for industrial automation equipment, and I feel for Claude. It's so much harder than it looks, even when you have voice+video instead of text+pictures.
As one example of how it can go wrong, I said "Check the cables on the enclosure, and make sure they're all connected properly." instead of "Check the three cables on the enclosure (Power, ethernet, remote sensor module), and make sure each of them are connected properly." and it took us 20 minutes to figure out that the reason it couldn't communicate with the network is because the ethernet cable was completely missing.
There are hundreds of videos about the difficulty of giving precise directions, usually played for comedy. For example, here:
Anecdote time!
In the past couple weeks, I:
The newer ones have much better handling, power, and comfort, along with some fancy features. They also have some significant downgrades. For the Corolla:
Re #3: The easiest demonstration is to do it. How well do you think it would go over if you said "I know you like cooperative board/card games. I found The Crew for sale at Central Gaming for $19.99, and you might enjoy playing it. Here's their address and a $20 bill." vs. just buying it and giving to them?
Kind of against #4: A gift includes permission to have and use it. This goes double when the recipient is a child, spouse, or anyone else the gift-giver has a stake in. "Why do you think those binoculars are the best way to spend $1000?" Not my choice, it was a gift! "Why do you birdwatch during our hikes?" Because I was gifted the binoculars!
If you haven't seen it in your investigations, then I doubt if raw timestamps would help.
It's visible in several frames as he walks away, otherwise it blends in with his legs. It's also easy to mistake for another leg.
Given the quality of the camera, that item's shape is "consistent with" a lot of different items, including a rifle. It could've been anything from a jacket to a small suitcase, and any features smaller than a couple inches (such as a rifle barrel) would disappear between the pixels.
I wouldn't expect to see an identifiable rifle in that low-quality footage, so not seeing it isn't surprising. Album, where I tried to keep the pixelization consistent (18 pixels tall = 4"/pixel in the video, guessing 28" barrel = 7 output pixels per 430 input pixels). My unidentifiable blob is consistent with a rifle because it was made from a rifle. It's also consistent with a stick.
when you receive quite a few DMs asking you to bring back 4o and many of the messages are clearly written by 4o it starts to get a bit hair raising.
Am I missing something, or is that impossible? How could it be written by 4o after 4o was taken offline (and before it was reinstated)?
A camera that can do facial recognition from outside of national borders doesn't need to be a petapixel one. A mid-gigapixel camera with good optics can cover an entire city at once (or at least it could if it wasn't for all the buildings in the way).
The main barrier to petapixel cameras is that they don't serve your goal of full public monitoring (regardless of whether it's by the government or by everyone individually).
