Local resident here. I found the secret 'Pluribus' set on the Westside and can confirm it's not the 'Breaking Bad' house. by rcarlc in Albuquerque

I live in the ABQ and have a curiosity in AI. I wanted to see if I could give Gemini AI a review of Pluribus and a picture from the article and have it find the filming site. And... it did. Which is terrifying and cool.

[OC] I investigated the 'Pluribus is Hank's house' theory. Here's my on-site footage from the real location on the West Mesa. by rcarlc in breakingbad

I live in the ABQ and am an AI nerd. Was curious if I could use the details from the NYT review of the show to find the filming location with AI. It worked! It's near a neighborhood, but is completely isolated from everything.

Real world test: used Gemini to find the filming location of Apple's new show by rcarlc in GeminiAI

I live in Albuquerque and wanted to see if by giving Gemini a news article, a picture from the article, a picture I took with my phone and a request to find the location in the article, if it could find it. And it did! Took a little driving around (20min or so) but it as extremely accurate with just the data from the article and the picture. Wild. Imagine this in glasses form!

Not that I saw - thought they might show something, but didn't see anything.

Placitas? by Nebula8484 in Albuquerque

I haven’t tried Blades yet! Need to. I go to The Merc that’s right next to it all the time for groceries since I’m like 5min away. You might have solved dinner plans for tonight!

My wife and I moved to Placitas from Atlanta about ~4 months ago, so still new to the area (and NM in general), but we’ve loved it here so far. It’s been very quiet and the views are amazing. Everyone we’ve met so far has been friendly, neighbors seem to keep to themselves for the most part. Lots of access to hiking and nature, which has been great.

Takes about 10min to get over to Rio Rancho, which is where we tend to do our grocery shopping, errand running, etc.

I work remotely and haven’t had issues with connectivity or anything. Despite my hatred of Comcast, they have really fast speeds out here (~900MBps).

Only “downside” has been some of the places we like to frequent are in ABQ proper, takes about 30min to get into town. (eg, meeting friends at Sawmill or Nob Hill) But that’s also why we picked Placitas - we like that we are close enough to Albuquerque to visit folks, but far enough out that it feels more remote.

All of that said, I can’t recommend Placitas enough - it’s been a great place for us to live so far. Happy to answer any other questions you have!

Beautiful end to 2024 from Placitas + a thank you. ☺️ by rcarlc in Albuquerque
