Comment on Humane slashes the price of its AI Pin after weak sales

Maybe if they make a watch with a camera cover and a laser that draws a little box around what it can see and it all runs locally, then I might be interested.
Mainly to identify plants and mushrooms.
Not a fan of the idea of everyone pointing AI powered cameras at me all the time, like with this weird pin or smart glasses.
Such products should have a legally mandated camera cover, microphone shutoff and a REALLY OBVIOUS tell to everyone around you if you are using the camera or mic.
Bonus points if it screams a really loud “PERVERT” alarm if you’re doing something creepy.
If only that was true for smartphones too…

Considering modern-day “AI” track records at this, the only thing I’d trust a device like that to do is massively increase poisoning deaths.

“But my phone said it would be OK” is a lousy epitaph!

They died doing what they loved. Placing their very life into the hands of techbro con artists.
