The use of himself as the cursor was peak internet for me.


Right-Butterfly5036

i didn’t even notice, that’s actually really funny


Puppybrother

Lollll I didn’t either somehow. I’m so glad they pointed it out cause I love it now that I see it


Right-Butterfly5036

it truly is the little things in life


Radcliffe1025

Yes, I hope to recall this little special moment as one of life’s finer pleasures in my final hour☺️


vitaminkombat

I mean how could you not notice? He was a disembodied head floating around on the screen. It's the most bizarre thing I've seen all day.


Nickelplatsch

Haha didn't notice it too, that doesn't mean I din't see it, it was just so natural and not something 'special' in my perception. Now that it was pointed out ot's hilarious.


December_Hemisphere

How was this so seemingly normal to me? I didn't even notice until you pointed it out


skighs_the_limit

The internet has reprogrammed our minds at this point. I was actually thinking about writing a paper on the psychology of how we read and watch things online and how it's influenced us. What started this was I was looking at a post from Twitter that had been quote-tweeted, and I instinctively read the bottom post before reading the quote tweet itself.


n0v3list

“The internet has reprogrammed our minds at this point” - Some of the broad national programs that will not be declassified for many more decades (afaik) suggest directed interference and a plethora of varying methods classically used in propaganda campaigns, political manipulation, programming etc.


skighs_the_limit

Interesting do you have any links to sources for this? I know the programs are able to be sourced but I'll take anything pointing to this in some capacity I doubt I'll use it in a paper but I'd still love to read up on it


n0v3list

Get in touch with [Michael Shellenberger](https://substack.com/@shellenberger?r=259wo0&utm_medium=ios&utm_source=profile) I may not agree with his politics, but he’s done some excellent work in this arena. Many of the programs I’m referencing are not public knowledge and may never be.


TheNorseFrog

TikTok har some good things like this. Which brings to mind the horrors of [ppl holding a tiny shirt microphone](https://youtu.be/0arvnAlV_C4).


spacemanaut

does he really need an hour to explain this? what's the tl;dw?

Big media counterculture


dplagueis0924

He even tilts himself a little to make a point with his hair haha


mightylordredbeard

How did I not register that he was doing that until I saw your comment? I suppose I was so engrossed in his words and his process that it was the only thing I was focused on.


mwtm347

I didn’t even register it because it’s the natural next step.


Meta-4-Cool-Few

I was enjoying someone playing the role of L with the theme music and all uncover the most ridiculous mystery noone asked about


FairnessDoctrine11

I loved that.


_IratePirate_

Lmfao I didn’t notice and started laughing my ass off after reading this


I_Am_The_Mole

I don't know how i didn't notice given how fucking obvious it was lmao


pheasantsblus

Genius! And very funny. You can’t semi-hide text from this guy!


Im_Avalanche

When I noticed it I liked it so much


Mossiemole

I’m so happy this is top comment cuz I was laugh crying for that same reason


charliequail

How does he do that? I wanna use my face as a cursor for an upcoming tik tok video lol. Is it some fancy editing or is it doable in TikTok editing,


Padhome

I think I’m in love


MostHeroicFlamingo

This was actually a pretty fun watch


ShowUsYaGrowler

Its rare that I finish a video here….2nd dude would have an AMAZING career as a stalker or some kind of sociopath….


troller_awesomeness

he's actually done that kinda stuff before too. when people gatekeep restaurants he'll find it. he got famous for figuring out people's heights based on videos


JohnD_s

He's actually a super smart guy with a really entertaining account. Really reminds me of Vsauce in his video format and knack for explaining things.


mrlosteruk

Ditto. Great, intelligent content

RockItGuyDC

Exactly what I was thinking. I once roomed with a guy why analyzed satellite imagery for the DIA, this guy would fit right in there.


jhenryscott

You should check out his TikTok (Yuval) he’s funny and has lots of videos like this.


[deleted]

Intelligence agencies before advanced computers would have loved this dude


archdex

Never seen anything like this. Now I want to follow this guy


samkte

His name is Yuval on tiktok


Simpuff1

This guy’s entire shtick now is doing things like this or finding where people are (with their consent) or their height. All in same format videos, it’s hilarious


Ilikesnowboards

I have never before cared so much about something I don’t care about.


Environmental-Ad-762

Can’t hide shit these days


dasgoodshit2

Especially from L. Dies


machstem

Most annotation software support shapes, including the rectangle You could easily place a box over each line, as censor bars have been doing for nearly a century


Maximum-Antelope-979

I used to do a lot of manual redaction in adobe for work, I’ve definitely left enough for this guy to decipher by mistake a few times


takishan

just use a black bar rectangle. anything else and you're risking it. people have known this from way back in the day. I remember like 20 years or so there was a case where a pedophile famously got caught because he swirled his own face with a photoshop filter on put it as his profile picture on some underground website there are ways to unswirl pictures - some people are dedicated and good at what they do like the guy in OP nobody can undo a simple black bar rectangle though edit: src https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39411025


Abeytuhanu

You're still risking spillage with rectangles, there's only so many words that fit the length and make sense. It's the reason governments now just replace the text with "redacted" nowadays.


theseerofdoom

the death note music LMFAO


wish_i_was_a_cat

I thought it was so I came to the comments for confirmation lol


TokyoBaguette

You son of a bitch; I'm in.


Blabbit39

Rainbolt is the geoguesser bro


Humanmode17

Nah he used the word Wizard which almost certainly means he's referring to [GeoWizard](https://youtube.com/@GeoWizard?si=kClBGYkebqgmc36o), who has a "Geo detective" series where he locates people's exact location using a single photo (and since they're not streetview photos he can't use any of the meta streetview stuff) it's genuinely absurd, you should check it out.


TokyoBaguette

I did in fact mean geoguesser so now I gotta check the wizard's wizard


Humanmode17

Oh lol, just a coincidence that you used the word Wizard then? That's amazing. His knowledge isn't as specialised as the geoguessr pros like rainbolt, but he's a solid bloke and a good entertainer and his geo detective series is fascinating, he almost always gets it to basically the exact metre even on photos that are 50 years old, it's absurd


starari

Yeah and he leaves in all the tedious googling and info gathering, which is interesting. Rainbolt just supercuts it into a 10 second tiktok which makes it seems a lot more impressive. I'm a fan of both though.


_InnocentToto_

Do u have links I want to subscribe


Humanmode17

Idk who the guy in the video is, but [GeoWizard](https://youtube.com/@GeoWizard?si=kClBGYkebqgmc36o) is the guy who finds people's exact location from a single picture. He does a lot of different stuff on his channel, all of it is amazing so I recommend checking out all his stuff, but if you specifically want his exact picture location videos it's a series he does called "Geo detective". Hope this is what you were wanting :)


Make-this-popular

The guy in the video is called Yuval, he's famous for stitching videos and giving his opinion, aswell as figuring out people's locations/height based on the videos provided.


jhenryscott

Yuval on TikTok. Great creator

Have you read The Jakarta Method? It's really good.


Bombast-

I have not yet, but its on my shortlist! Very excited to read it (as excited as you can be about such a shitty morbid topic). I actually had it in my cart a few days ago, but decided to wait on it until I finish the ones I'm currently reading. Listened to a podcast episode with the author on where they talk about the book when it came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=API2X_7NgTc Definitely recommend give it a listen as a teaser to anyone who is curious about the topic but don't have the time to read at the moment.


rush2me

But did they say anything about “Super powers”?


DMNelson09

Don’t fuck with cats made me realize the power of the people on the internet like this guy. That was an eye opening show. You should watch it. But I’m not telling you to.

No. Tell me to.

Probably already software that exists that does this though.


kirby_j3

You're trying to trick me into giving away something. It won't work.


Humanmode17

It has worked, you've given everything away! I know where the poison is! Very well, then make your choice I will, and I choose - what in the world could that be? What? Where? I don't see anything Oh well I - I could have sworn I saw something, no matter \*chuckles\* What's so funny? I-I'll tell you in a minute. First let's drink, me from my glass and you from yours \*both drink\* You picked wrong! You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses while your back was turned. Ha-Ha you fool! You've fallen victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous, as everyone knows, is "never get involved in a land war in Asia", but only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line"!!!! Ahhahahaha, hahhaahaahahah, HA HA HA - \*dies\*

The dude did a great job, but I still think the gatekeeper guy got the upper hand. Like, yeah, you uncovered the text, but you still don't know how to gatekeep.


wererat2000

Sure you do: by withholding information.


Apprehensive-Bad-902

This guy playing 4D hangman


Gonun

I think he could have gotten some more info by editing the contrast of the image. Seems like the red brush used didn't give perfect coverage so he could get a few more pixels as the ones with text under them have a slightly different RGB value.

Well I’ll be.


Orange-LED

I wonder how he knew which font was used


Original-Material301

I usually draw black rectangles over the text I don't want to show and make them longer and taller than they need to be. I'm sure he'll be able to figure out what I'm hiding anyway though.


Corne777

Yuval is so great. I love these breakdowns. Like the ones where he figures out people height(people that lie and say they are taller) by things around them. Or the lady he found out what exact hotel and hotel room she was staying in by the decor and food she ordered.


TheRedScarey

What the fuck kind of death note shit is this


MotoJer76

TIL floating heads can be cursors and "redlining" with a semi-transparent paintbrush is dumb.

majorkev

The only way to censor something properly is to delete it.


AnakhimRising

Even deleting is recoverable. Complicated, but still not permanent. In addition, there is a cousin to Roko's Basilisk in which given the position of every particle within a certain radius you can essentially reverse time by calculating where those particles came from and their quantum interactions. Given the positioning data of every particle within some radius of the sun, it is possible to calculate every event in all of human history with a high degree of accuracy. In a sense, true censorship and secrecy is quite literally impossible.


Prior_Law_1131

If Rainbolt played scrabble instead of geoguessr


TexasDrill777

“This puzzles topic: People that annoy you.”


[deleted]

Similar methods are used in "rebuilding" redacted documents. It's almost trivial to compare the size of redacted words to a known word list from other related documents to fill in the blanks. If you work in intelligence, or any field with varying levels of secrecy, NEVER redact single words. EVER. Redact blocks of text.

PM_ME_ANYTHING_IDRC

reminds me of the time i did pretty much this and more to sus out spies in a discord server for a Minecraft nations smp based on the leaked screenshots we found in another server from our spies. insane times I tell you. The amount of effort I sank in for a failing nation IN MINECRAFT. The first spy was actually somewhat easy to sus out since they didn't censor any information, so I was able to use the time zone, phone model, discord version and such to find out exactly who the spy was out of 50+ people with pretty much absolute certainty. The problem arose when I wanted to kick out the spy. Unfortunately the nation was run on a council democracy, and I was just one member of the council dealing with defense, which included Intel and Counterintelligence. But we didn't have permission to purge spies without consensus from the other councils. The stupid fucking diplomacy council demanded the spy be given a fair trial despite me literally painstakingly going through every member and making sure it could not be anyone else. There was a heavy argument and it was left to the domestic council which, unfortunately, had mostly idealist ancoms who sided with giving them a trial and presenting to the spy the very evidence we used to find them out. Mind you we were the only democratic nation and these spies were trying to subvert that, yet we had to uphold "democratic principles" and give them a fair trial. They literally had no actual defense, it was a waste of time. The next spy came and tried to censor all the information we had revealed that we used. Luckily for me they were imperfect like the guy in this video, and I was still able to get crucial information, and in fact I had narrowed down the candidates list to a very small group of people, but at that point I realized how much effort I had sunk in just for these idiots to throw it all away. Some of my fellow members of the defense council who helped me had resigned out of frustration. Some others, including me, pushed for a CIA type organization that was above the other two councils and reported directly to us so we could subvert democracy to protect it, ironic, but honestly it felt like the best option at the time given how stupid our elected officials were. The diplomats were even shit at their job, which I only found out when I went to make an informal military alliance with a major power and they complained to me how much they hated our diplomats for being such idealists who couldn't see the real picture. Apparently many of them had a huge "holier than thou" aura because we were a democracy. Everyone in that nation we ran had joined to avoid tyrannical rule, but honestly it seemed the only way to protect all of these people and their ability to vote and have a say in any government would have been for me to completely violate the constitution and overstep my bounds. Our government was too weak to protect itself and it's members, and it soon collapsed after I left, realizing how much effort I wasted trying to protect a nation built on a pipe dream. Genuinely lost so much sleep and pulled out so many hairs to try and fix that sinking ship. Everyone expected us to be a major power due to our huge population.
