    What? Why wouldn’t they use the data they already have? The only way you would find that uncanny is if you assumed that data submitted to a company in one context is never re-used outside that context. No such promise was ever made; On the contrary, I seem to recall that we were told from the start that model building was the goal.

    Niantic has pulled sheisty moves, but this isn’t one of them.

      Oh yeah, I know that. It was more just a weird feeling that I find it hard to describe. Like, it felt like I was existing within multiple different realities at the same time for a brief moment. Just my imagination getting carried away, like how familiar objects can look like monsters in the dark, even though we know perfectly well what they really are.
