o3 and o4-mini are wildly good at location guessing from the most mundane of photos

What to make of this? # First, this is really fun. Watching the model’s thought process as it churns through the photo, pans and zooms and discusses different theories about where it could be is wildly entertaining. It’s like living in an episode of CSI. It’s also deeply dystopian. Technology can identify locations from photographs now. It’s vitally important that people understand how easy this is—if you have any reason at all to be concerned about your safety, you need to know that any photo you share—even a photo as bland as my example above—could be used to identify your location. As is frequently the case with modern AI, the fact that this technology is openly available to almost anyone has negative and positive implications. As with image generation, it’s important that people can see what this stuff can do first hand. Seeing this in action is a visceral lesson in what’s now possible.

The web did indeed win…

Even if you think you made up your mind about Electron years ago, I suggest watching the entire video and considering whether this crusade against more accessible, more frequently updated (and often more performant) desktop software still makes sense in 2025.
