This is wild guess. I'm working with GIS and Claude has proven to be extremely savvy. I can see operators throwing hundreds of layers and coming back with a "there a possible military installation here". Same tech that is used to find unregulated pools, or measuring the density of parking lots, or Nazca lines, but much more on demand for specific purposes.
Just to clarify, I don't condone the use of AI for guessing targets, but I think that's what may be going on here.
Just curious, for what exact purpose are you using Claude? Does it analyze geographic data for you or images or something? Or does it help you writing code that does this? Or does it create visualization for you?
All of those. Applied to urban development; It analyzes GIS layers, validates and extracts data that will be used in text reports, huge time saving mechanical extraction, before it was a bunch of manual steps on each project. I used it to develop a heavy GIS application that hubs many public data providers. And It does help us create the maps/visualizations from that data, again a sort of mechanical transformation. None of these are groundbreaking, but we you stack all of them you end with big time savings.
