      This AI push is stagnating innovation.

      I think it’s the other way around, corporate consolidation (including capturing our governments and getting all research funding) killed innovation a while ago and now AI is just the latest non-idea that is being used to cover up that none of the corporations have any new ideas. Even Apple’s latest good idea, ARM laptops, was basically done by cheap Linux nettops a decade ago.

        Also, ARM laptops were Steve Jobs’ last big idea. He put in place Apple’s last 10 year plan before he died. The first M series laptop came out nine years after his death.

        The reason being that Apple is actually considered to be one of the founding members of ARM so they have unique access to the core. Moving to ARM was always the plan after moving to Intel. Apple was the first company to produce a portable ARM device, the Newton back in the early 90s before Jobs’ return.

        So even that innovation isn’t exactly new.

    The AirPods’ cameras “aren’t designed” to snap photos or video but instead can take in “visual information in low resolution” that users can query Siri about, like asking the AI assistant what they should cook with the ingredients they have in front of them, according to Gurman. They may also use the cameras to help with things like turn-by-turn directions.

    So you got to hover that leak next to your ears? Nice they are low resolution but if they can recognise something sitting on a kitchen counter in front of you then that is not a relevant argument. They can 100% be used to identify people standing in front of you as well and that is going to be outside anyones control.

        States as in US? Because if that’s the case, this won’t be illegal in any way shape or form.

        I don’t understand why people think there is some law out there that supersedes the first amendment which unambiguously protects video recording in anything other than a bathroom, changing room, or the like.

        Even in private property doesn’t have a law stating you can’t record, it’s just that you are likely to be trespassed if you break a private establishments no recording policy.

      They probably are designed for low resolution because Apple couldn’t mass produce better cameras affordably. Plus there is other hardware they don’t have space for.

      This will most likely follow the iPhone camera business model where new model AirPods will keep getting upgraded cameras.

      You’d just be paying it forward. Ten minutes after you watch some girl’s roommate jilling off, she’s watching you crank your meat handle.

    Oh, brilliant! This is exactly what I wanted and directly solves so many problems and frustrations I have with the status quo! Thank goodness for such innovation! I feel seen!

    Edit: oops, that should say “I hope everyone involved in bringing this product to market gets given an STI by a hippopotamus”. Silly autocorrect.

    People would enjoy these features. But they want it to happen without a camera, somehow.

    So they are supposedly verboten features. Never to be done.
