This is absolutely fucked. Bring down the all seeing eye in the sky satelite
they've had spy sats since the 1960s
its not that bad
"All seeing" except it's using radar to evaluate typography and biomass. What am I missing that makes this "absolutely fucked"?
Impressive that it has the resolution to identify fonts
I was so confused when I saw your comment until I reread my own. It really is top notch technology I guess!
This first iteration is only capable of identifying serif fonts, still impressive though.
Aren't you a tiny blob of typography and biomass yourself?
How did you know? Really though I was looking at the picture in the article which is from similar technology about a decade ago.
