New dot hatched today. #PlayPeridot #Niantic

#PokemonGo literalmente se ha usado para entrenar inteligencias artificiales.

Y creo que la gente debe de hacer una distinción entre sus valores y principios y el gusto por su franquicia. Yo personalmente soy un tanto fan de Pokémon, pero aún así nunca me vendería de gratis para entrenar robots que después se van a usar para contratacarnos en guerras, explotar el precio de la RAM o hacerle daño al medio ambiente.

Bonjour. Je peux témoigner : #Niantic a commencé avec #Ingress (j'étais dans le Top 10 FR pour soulager mon gras en marchant) et si vous remontez au nom de l'ingé à l'origine du projet, vous reconnaitrez du gros suceur de datas. Ces jeux connaissent mieux vos habitudes que vos compagnes, know it.

@doodlebrink it was pretty clear that #niantic wanted to use those data for commercial purposes. However, in articles published in the last decade, the focus was rather on augmented reality: see e.g. https://kotaku.com/the-creators-of-pokemon-go-mapped-the-world-now-theyre-1838974714 (2019) or https://www.forbes.com/sites/yehongzhu/2016/07/29/how-niantic-is-profiting-off-tracking-where-you-go-while-playing-pokemon-go/ (2016)

The Creators Of Pokémon Go Mapped The World. Now They're Mapping You

Harry Potter: Wizards Unite, the latest game from the company behind Pokémon Go, lets players harness the magic of their childhood to combat monsters and collect shimmering digital artifacts across their local neighborhoods. Niantic’s apps certainly encourage gamers to get outdoors and get active, but behind the scenes, Wizards Unite is quietly casting another spell: collecting a surprising amount of data about where you go.

“[Niantic Spatial]’s latest product is a model that it says can pinpoint your location on a map to within a few centimeters, based on a handful of snapshots of the buildings or other landmarks in view. The firm wants to use it to help robots navigate with greater precision in places where GPS is unreliable.”
