It shifts from map layers to answer “what/where/why now?” rather than just “show me X.”

And the Gemini-in-Google Earth bit could lower the barrier for non-GIS folks.

> Bellwether, a moonshot at Alphabet's X, is using Earth AI to provide hurricane predictions insights for global insurance broker McGill and Partners. This enables McGill's clients to pay claims faster so homeowners can start rebuilding sooner.

Hm, I'm quite skeptical about this claim.

Could be a nice expensive contractor option for replacing the NOAA's public data that we lost. But it probably wont be picked up because it has to study the climate, which is a bad word now.
CobrastanJorji•1h ago
You can totally create a private version of NOAA so long as you keep the messaging about insurance intelligence and never, ever speculate out loud about the causes of hurricanes. And if that's not enough, just do what Meta did and hire some shmuck like Robby Starbuck to signal that you're on the right team.
apples_oranges•2h ago
Haha yeah. Perhaps a marketing gimmick with an asterisk..

Hi, I'm Saul Goodman. Did you know that you have hurricanes? The constitution says you do! And so do AI.

I have some old screenshots of interesting locations from Google Earth circa 2006-2012 that I've never been able to track down. I wonder if something like this would be capable of geolocating them somehow -- like reverse image search for landscapes.
tom1337•2h ago
Out of interest: have you already tried using GPT 5 (reasoning / thinking) for that? I've had quite some success in the past using them to track down such places.
Jordan-117•2h ago
Yeah, that and Gemini 2.5. They actually were able to help identify a handful based on context clues, or at least narrow it down enough that I could find it myself. But there were three I couldn't crack -- even a forum dedicated to solving GE puzzles came up empty:

howenterprisey•1h ago
Maybe Geoguessr players would be good at identifying them as well?

Jordan-117•1h ago
Hmm, plausible... though I'll have to go back in time and kick myself if it turns out I captioned it with the wrong continent!
theletterf•48m ago
Gemini says:

"This looks almost certainly like a satellite view of a region in Western Australia, such as the Pilbara or the Hamersley Range. The dark areas are likely ancient, iron-rich rock formations (ironstone), and the surrounding soil is iconic of what's known as Australia's "Red Centre."

In 2001 we used Erdas Imagine to do this type of work. It required humans to train the software using heads-up digitizing. Dare I say machine learning on Pentium workstations?

edit, looks like they have ai too now. could be neat to play with after how long has it been. jeesh.

I have found that using LLMs to generate queries for Overpass (Open street map query language) works really well. Great alternative if you don't care to deal with corporate nonsense.

Mhh, don't we already have conventional ways of telling where a flodding might happen?
