Pokemon Go using your phone camera to build a CIA-backed 3D Map AI system.
It sounds like an insane movie plot. But it’s real.
In 2016, this was “Lunduke’s crazy conspiracy theory about Pokemon Go being used to spy on everyone, backed by the CIA”. Now, in 2024, Niantic Labs (the makers of Pokemon Go), proudly brags about using Pokemon Go to spy on you… and using that covertly obtained information to build a massive, 3D artificial intelligence mapping system of private spaces.
“We receive about 1 million fresh scans each week, each containing hundreds of discrete images.”
In other words: Lunduke was right.

Just like the Simpsons , Google did it first.
this is so freaking insane, we all knew it was going to be used to farm data but the scope of it is crazy, thanks for explaining clearly
Dude looks like Vince Gilligan
niantic is team rocket
The CIA got around rules of privacy because we all accepted the ToS lol.
Pokémon Go to the secret prison.
Lmfao this feels like a wet dream which you need to be true for validation… where’s the actual connection between Pokémon go and the cia other than a simple investment? Am I missing something?
Oh of course the evil government has the most aligned with evil plot you can possibly come up with. (Because they’re bad people who want to do bad things of course!) “Yes let’s make it as obvious as we can for the viewer at home that we’re engaging in spooky doopy spy stuff!” -CIA according to you apparently
Come on bro. You said at the beginning this is the plot to a movie because it literally is. Reality is not so simple.
I find it amusing that you think such a twisted conspiracy would be committed so brazenly as to publicly award people for their work on it. Almost as if maybe it’s not the conspiracy you’re alleging.
This video is largely just conjecture. You’ve taken a few suspicious sounding things and linked them into a semi cohesive conspiracy. We call this a conspiracy theory.
Every single app that has sensor input permission could do this and probably does.
Your fault customers. You clicked accept on the EULA, didn't you?
I would just like to believe when I do my 360 scan that's it
If you think about it this was all going to happen some way or another so that robots can make sense of our surroundings they just used a game to get it done. Good thinking on their part. I felt like this was too much permission and noticed some odd things when I used to play it like being followed by authorities more so I am glad I wasn't as tin foil hat as I thought I was and my gut was on.
Hindsight being 20/20 makes one wonder if at thanksgiving or christmas they were mapping our houses with pokemons in dresser drawers and closets, i mean you wouldn’t think twice about a kid running around your house with a cel phone
Put a sticker on it
If you use a smartphone you’re under surveillance. So what’s truly the difference?
If you watched this video on YouTube? Guess what? It’s a Camera app 😂, IG, FaceBook, Tik-Tok, Snap, all that.
Alright. I'm gonna transfer all my good mons to HOME ans delete the app.
F POGO
I’m glad that I’ve stopped playing GO. About to uninstall it from my phones.
The somewhat recent update where they made Location tracking /mandatory/ to play the game pretty much exposed their true intentions.
We knew this years ago
This is why I cover the camera in AR
The CIAs sentient world simulation is 2016 news
So the camera is on all the time? Is that why pogo uses so much batteri?
You need medication and a tin foil hat
This comment section is genuinely disturbing for how many people are falling victim to your idiocy
Were fucked
It clearly says they recieve scans from players where are these drugs
Funny how a noticeable amount of conspiracy “theories” end up being conspiracy fact later on
im so happy ive never used it
I can't believe AI is taking Rainbolt's job.
Also, this is still *bad*, but you do have to explicitly take a quest to 3D scan a specific area. The amount of data to upload your video feed at all times while playing would be so huge as to be infeasible, at least for the quality of video they are using for these models. People would notice either their cellular data or storage being used. So, if you're sending Niantic a video of your bathroom, that's on you.
No wonder they refused to make it so there was a way for disabled people and those who live in dangerous areas and can’t go walking to play. They never cared about those players. They only cared about getting their data.
Ingress was apparently, Niantic's prototype for disguising a Geospatial Engineering spy app as a game.
Pokemon Go was just the way to give it maximum marketability so as many victims as possible would be exploited by it.
🤔
The director of InQTel is Michael Crow, the president of ASU. He has been called in the media the most powerful person in AZ.
Seems like it seeing as how the "game" is really just a map program with like a flash quality game slapped on top of it. The actual gameplay is pretty bad and this really highlights why. Any atempt to focus time off other things and onto gameplay would detract from other motives. Also it probably would break their architecture stuff or cause problems by moving away from Wii swordfight style battles.
I see people playing this all the time and I tried it but I just don't get what you really do other than horde stuff. You can't really make a cool team you just catch random stuff and hope you get lucky with the pokemon and its level and stuff. Then there's always some tryhard group who literally patrols the block in minivans full of people with like 10 phones each who have like pagers and alarms set up in case they lose one of their gyms at like 3 am. 3:01 you'll see a minivan pull up and some app hole with like OP mewtwos will take the gym like holy christ bro jesus christ I'm just casually walking on foot.
Way to go nerds, you played yourself
I thought everyone knew this. China even banned the game precisely because of its connection to the CIA and I remember that being in the normal news. Hilarious that people think acknowledging that the CIA exists and does stuff is "conspiracy theorism".
