Is there anything whatsoever a privacy-minded person can do about something like this, in terms of personal protection?
Depends on whether you live in the US or EU I guess.
Look into microphone jammers
Wait 'til they come out (if ever), figure out the tech, make/buy a detector, pull your club out ur backpack …
Let’s fight ai with ai! As in, opencv-driven turrets :)
Illegal in the EU btw.
Yet another reason I should flee the US.
Yes, the problem I’m having is too much privacy from tech-bro douchebags, how did they know?
Anybody can ‘launch’ a ‘startup’. Alway-on recording has been around since the 60s. ‘Smart’ glasses? Har. Guess they never heard of ‘glassholes’.
My crowbar of justice is ready to be liberally applied
Being a dropout doesn’t make you special
Tell that to silicon valley, its a marketing bit now. Being “Too cool for school” is part of the tech startup playbook.
What else would you expect from a bunch of dropouts ?
Oh, it will join that very successful startup that was doing a pin that did something similar. It had AI in the name, I bet it does great and the product is very successful
Remember how cell phones spread, and even people in poor countries with limited infrastructure?
This will be the same or worse. No, you won’t be able to avoid being recorded by other people. This will change in the future, if it ever does, only when a large majority understand how the devices are being abused by power to control us and keep us enslaved. But, even upon that realization, if people find enough value in using the tech, they’ll put up with being enslaved if they’re still comfortable enough. It’s a balance, and power knows it. They’re working out the details as they go.
This is what’s coming. My suggestion is don’t have kids.
