"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

It's shockingly easy to get this sort of information on just about anybody. Many if not most cities and counties have publicly-searchable tax parcel data available on their GIS portals, and quite a few of those include the owner's name as a searchable field. If you know roughly where somebody lives, odds are pretty good you can find their home address.
I deal with this sort of data a lot for site master-planning studies, and lately I have noticed some cities don't provide ownership data in the public portal anymore, but you'd be surprised how many still do.
