Yeah, so there are these kids toys at CES now that are always watching and always listening. Gyroscope if the toy is being picked up and moved, GPS to track where in the house it is, or where it’s going outside.

It’s loaded with voice and facial recognition that can track moods and environmental context. But obviously it doesn’t work offline. It has no on board AI, so all the data is sent to a service somewhere which will generate responses for the toy.

I wish it was just one such product being promoted at CES, but I’ve seen several videos now of multiple upstart toy tech brands selling similar AI plushies and such.

What’s worse than that are the fully camera, gyroscope, and GPS equipped children’s toys that send all their data to an AI server.

I think the bike exists to sell the battery. I’m getting a strong feeling there is no intention for the bike to be profitable, but rather as a proof that what they’re selling works by showcasing a real-world model that people can buy and drive.

With their plans to out-scale Tesla in battery manufacturing, it seems to me that they’re hoping to capture deals with EV manufacturers.

Ah yes. Penis measuring. But instead of measuring penises we’re measuring something even more arbitrary.

It’s all the same UX to me; I start up Stremio then check what torrent to stream from.

The big deal is that development time is put into these… Uh… “features”.

Yes, and us unionists are fighting back. What, do you think we’re all just sitting on our arses with our heads up rectums?

If a fascist takes over the Danish government I’m going to riot, and I know which friends to call on to make it happen too.

Rather arrogant to believe the US falling means the decline of our entire civilisation.

Huh, and here I am still running Juletide.

That’s OK. I’m using Linux. Perhaps this will drive more people to Linux. The less people using corporate owned tools the better.

The guy in this meme always reminds me of Edward Norton.

How about doing something worth more than merely protesting, or voting in a broken system?

I thought it was so comically stupid back then. But a friend of mine said this was just a bullshit way of hyping up AI.

The irony that some people still think that the Gabe Cube is for people that already have top-end gaming PCs… Or any PC to begin with.

And haven’t even achieved AI yet. What we call “AI” is still nothing more than an upjumped calculator.
