Honestly, if it wasn't for the fact that we KNOW it's going to enshittify and sellout our data in a year or two, this would be a great product.

I'm pretty sure recording every conversation around you is illegal in several states.

Also who controls what information it shows? Someone says Trump and does it show a flattering or true summary?

This is a terrible idea

Eh, I have partial face blindness. I'm happy to just get a popup reminding me who I'm talking to and what the context of our last conversation was.

oh man oh man. that would be awesome. I hate how incredible our technology is while being done with maximizing dystopia in mind.

I should have the right to not have my voice or likeness recorded and sent to some unknown, private company without my consent.

Isn't your reaction pretty much because you know they're going to enshittify and abuse your data?

[–] tiredofsametab@fedia.io 2 points 4 months ago

Not necessarily. Maybe because I'm old, I don't think being out in public and having that delivered to an audience way bigger and further outside that area without consent is right. If I'm walking by in a shot or something, I don't mind at all. But if it's someone sitting nearby when I'm at a restaurant or bar or something, that starts to get weird for me. I did also have a stalker once which definitely did shape my view on this more.
