Tl;dr two over privileged teenage psychopaths stole a stupid idea from Meta/google that was hated by many and are going to make it worse by going all-in on the reasons people hate them.
Let’s get these guys some money!!!
Fuck these talentless twerps.
I mean they are a bunch of things but I wouldn’t call them talentless.
I would. They’re making an entirely unoriginal product with an entirely unoriginal sales pitch and, presumably, an unoriginal surveillance-based business model.
Is it really unoriginal? If it is patentable then it is as original as one can get in an already very developed technological market. I’m not saying I want this out there, but that doesn’t mean that what they are doing is wholly unoriginal, especially if no one has done it before.
Is there anything whatsoever a privacy-minded person can do about something like this, in terms of personal protection?
“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.
“If somebody says a complex word or asks you a question, like, ‘What’s 37 to the third power?’ or something like that, then it’ll pop up on the glasses,” Ardayfio added.
The product sounds like just another shitty AI assistant but on your face. The problem might fix itself when only 5 idiots buy them.
Depends on whether you live in the US or EU I guess.
Wait 'til they come out (if ever), figure out the tech, make/buy a detector, pull your club out ur backpack …
Look into microphone jammers
Let’s fight ai with ai! As in, opencv-driven turrets :)
Yes, the problem I’m having is too much privacy from tech-bro douchebags, how did they know?
Illegal in the EU btw.
Yet another reason I should flee the US.
My crowbar of justice is ready to be liberally applied

Being a dropout doesn’t make you special
Tell that to silicon valley, its a marketing bit now. Being “Too cool for school” is part of the tech startup playbook.
Anybody can ‘launch’ a ‘startup’. Alway-on recording has been around since the 60s. ‘Smart’ glasses? Har. Guess they never heard of ‘glassholes’.
Everything has already been invented. So we get this shit to invade our lives and ruin the last little bit of anything good.
FUCK CAPITALISM.
Slashdot comments hating hard on this, good!
Its absolutely fuckwittery to want this trash.
What else would you expect from a bunch of dropouts ?
Remember how cell phones spread, and even people in poor countries with limited infrastructure?
This will be the same or worse. No, you won’t be able to avoid being recorded by other people. This will change in the future, if it ever does, only when a large majority understand how the devices are being abused by power to control us and keep us enslaved. But, even upon that realization, if people find enough value in using the tech, they’ll put up with being enslaved if they’re still comfortable enough. It’s a balance, and power knows it. They’re working out the details as they go.
This is what’s coming. My suggestion is don’t have kids.
What is the value of recording everything?
To feed the data centers with yummy personal data. No dataset is to big, no picture of the side of someone’s arm is too pointless. We must consume all data
SUCH a great movie
Tremendous value in concentration of money and power in the hands of the superior few. Know your place, peasant.
I record all my phone calls. It allows me to pretend not to forget all the names, dates, places and other important details we just talked about with the other person as soon as the call ends.
Do you get consent before every recording?
Oh, it will join that very successful startup that was doing a pin that did something similar. It had AI in the name, I bet it does great and the product is very successful
