Alice was on the London Eye today, as one of her school friend’s decided to have their birthday party on it, and she took this picture which I ran through #SeeingAI and #BeMyAI because I really like both descriptions, so one of them has been included in the alt-text, and the other is threaded as it wouldn’t fit within the character limit. I think they bring something unique to the table in each case.
The picture is an aerial view of a cityscape, possibly taken from a high-rise building. The city is dense with various buildings, including skyscrapers with glass exteriors. In the foreground, there is a railway with a train on it, running parallel to a road. Below, there is a construction site with white temporary structures and several construction materials scattered around. There are also trees with autumn-colored leaves nearby. In the middle ground, there are more buildings, including a distinctive one with a circular pattern on its roof. The background shows a river running through the city with several boats on it, and beyond the river, there is a dense cluster of buildings, including modern skyscrapers. The sky is clear with a few clouds.
How can you do these things on #Android? It bugs me more than ever that after all these damn years Microsoft haven't managed to bring this app to Android thus far.
If it's based on seeing AI they have literally no reasonable excuse, because I looked, Seeing AI is built with Xamarin, a deliberately cross-platform SDK which is primarily used to release Android and iOS apps from the same codebase. It's just some market bullshit.
There’s definitely something fishy going on with Microsoft and their accessibility apps. The slow international rollout of Seeing AI, limiting Soundscape to a few countries, its sudden closure, no Android apps, no commit history in open-source Soundscape, something’s not right here. Part of it is probably the infamous big tech bureaucracy rearing its ugly head, but I feel like there’s more to it than is publicly being revealed.
@x0 Be Mmy Eyes is actually a lot more secure than I would have expected. They actually do certificate pinning and are fairly aggressive in not letting their traffic be intercepted, preferring to break the app completely rather than let you see what it’s actually doing. I haven’t managed to get further than that, there’s no Apple Silicon version and I don’t have a jailbroken iOS device, so I haven’t been able Tod o any more reverse-engineering.
@x0 Mitmproxy would do it. You’d have to figure out where it keeps its CA bundle and replace it with your own, though. That assumes it doesn’t do any further integrity protections, verifying whether the bundle is signed itself. If that is the case, you’d have to actually reverse-engineer the binary
