A Chinese company’s publication of AI-enhanced satellite images of US bases in the Middle East is helping Iranian forces identify targets, US intelligence believes.
The ABC has been briefed on the intelligence by a source inside US defence, who says the images are endangering lives.
Chinese geospatial artificial intelligence and software company MizarVision, which the Chinese government has a small ownership stake in, has been publishing detailed satellite images with tagging data of multiple US military sites in the lead-up to, and during, the Iran war.
The imagery showcases an AI tool that identifies and tags military forces across vast areas, a capability that once required the resources of a national intelligence agency.
US is learning the hard way what “soft power” means, and what it means to lose it.
They’re close to the “learning” part but, if the news is any indicator, they’re still a ways off.
Something about horses and water.
Well thats too bad.
Everyone had a nice easter? I hope you guys have monday off as well. I’m eating some crisps and watching DankPods
Based comment, have an upvote good Sir and a splendid easter!
And? Who gives a fuck. I would expect China and Russia to help Iran. Why wouldn’t they?
I do give a fuck. I’m glad they do because the only way I see for long term stability in that region, which affects my and my family’s life in multiple ways, is for the US to lose the war as badly as possible.
The USA already doesn’t have a win condition, but the only way for longterm stability would be something like Iran getting EU membership which isn’t on the table. The solution with the least harm would be for the USA and other NATO allies to help the Iranians overthrow the despots and cut ties with China. The worst possible outcome is like 40% of Iranians die, Israel claims land, and the IRGC stays in power, which is pretty close to your idea of the best outcome.
Yeah… ok fair point
Wait until ABC finds out where all of Iran’s guns and munitions are made.
I don’t know how much they have left of what Ronald Reagan sold them, oops, sorry Oliver North
Wait until ABC finds out China sells a fuck ton of green tech like EVs, solar, and BESS.
Fuck China, threat to human life on earth
Found the fascist.

I see. The images are endangering lives. Not the moronic decision to start a war, no no.
“You’re fighting back against our aggression? Hey, no fair!”
