Let's talk about #disinformation. @mattgaetz cited @WashTimes "report" that "firm XRVision used its software to do facial recognition of protesters and matched two Philadelphia #antifa members to two men inside the Senate." A rage #thread 1/10 https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/jan/6/xrvision-firm-claims-antifa-infiltrated-protesters/
Facial recognition #AI? Ooo goody. Let's check out their website, xrvision(.)com. Seems totally legit, because as a business I want to have no links, no TLS cert, and only a generic email. Looks like we have to dig deeper... 2/10
Here's their LinkedIn page. Filled with business posts and totally doesn't just look like just right-wing memes. Just kidding, all of these link to a personal blog https://www.linkedin.com/company/xrvision/ 3/10
Scrolling on LinkedIn, finally see their tech. So hott. Especially interested in the super advanced "HIPAA Violation Filter". Because your face violates HIPAA. Which makes me wonder, how did they get all the training data for the AI if it violated HIPAA? 4/10
Alright, let's click on a link from the LinkedIn page and we're at the article...on a Wordpress blog page. Fortunately, his "copyright" has his, "Yaacov Apelbaum" namehttps://apelbaum(.)wordpress(.)com/2020/11/01/hunter-bidens-finger-lakes-tattoo/ 5/10
Who the hell is Yaacov Apelbaum? 6/10
Hi Yaacov. Crunchbase has him as CTO and Founder of XRVision, but Pte. Ltd., so Singapore? 7/10
Yep, Singapore. And massively funded, at $3,000. 8/10
And about that patent? So very complex facial recognition AI. Also, not a patent, status: Abandoned 9/ 10 https://patents.google.com/patent/US20170098118A1/en?oq=15%2f312%2c349
So, to recap
-XRVision appears to be a company w/ placeholder website
-Social Media presence seems very biased and personal
-Tech doesn't pass sniff test (HIPAA filter? Seriously?)
-Few employees, no patent
@WashTimes, please do a better job vetting your sources. 10/10
