So transformative will it prove to the human brain, the twenty-something-year-old inventors promise, that wearers will soon be not just thinking, but "vibe thinking."
End this. Go down to the Titanic, please.
Genuinely, every person who participated in creating this should be taken out to an island and dumped there, to be forgotten about.
This is vile.
imagine passing everything you see in life to openai api
I remember this Black Mirror episode! Dudes wife was banging someone else and he gets wicked drunk crashes his car and replays the memory over and over again for years. Good Times! 🫠
This is a very interesting article. We’re walking right into the very dystopia that so many sci-fi authors repeatedly have warned us about. They were warnings, not a playbook.
What distinguishes a panopticon isn't merely inescapable surveillance, but the fact that you don't know when you're being watched. You simply have to live with the unbearable uncertainty that, at any moment, you could be.
Whether people realize it or not, we already live in a panopticon. Not only are there camera everywhere - on buildings, businesses, homes, streets, phones, cars, etc - but there are other sensors and mechanisms tracking things like your movement, activity, and heart rate.
…despite a growing body of research suggesting that relying on AI models leads to critical thinking skills atrophying.
There was a novel that predicted this decades ago. The main character was so reliant on his AR goggles that when they were stolen in a mugging he was nearly catatonic until his friends got it back.
This is the world we are heading toward, and I don’t know what we can possibly do at this point to minimize the harm to both our environment and our species. The worst-case dystopia seems more and more inevitable by the day.
Edit: The novel was Accelerando, by Charles Stross
Are there glasses that scrambles other people's cameras that the rest of us could wear?
Big Brother strapped to your fucking face.
So I know what to look for in the future for people to avoid, the glasses apparently look like this:
As someone whose taught a fair number of undergrad classes, my nightmare scenario is a student showing up to an exam wearing one of these fucking things. When I tell them to take the damn things off, they then might protest saying they have prescription lenses and that they're the only way they can take the exam.
Who would have thought that people wouldn't want to be surveilled?? What the fuck?? Why???
Invasion of the privacy snatchers.
Who would buy them in first place
This is worse than a prison. In a prison the prisoners cells are not normally under video surveillance unless the prisoner was super high risk for something.
Even Epstein, a true high risk prisoner, didn't have cameras inside his cell, and he was allegedly on suicide watch when he was murdered by Trump's goons to try to cover up his pedo shit.
"AI-powered". That alone should turn everyone off
Makes me paranoid now to go out.
Record Everything Constantly
Which camera glasses have all-day battery life? 🤔
All this talk about these glasses that dont actually exist yet just boosts the value of the company so the founders can cash out. Its more marketing than product. I dont care if someone wants to walk around recording everything they see and hear they can enjoy their phone and glasses running out of battery in an hour and getting $1000 in api fees.
That's why I will wait until buying them.
