Since we’re headed headfirst for a dystopian world of social credid and whatnot, I’m gonna invest in sarcasm.
They’re so fucking desperate to find any use of this technology…
I wonder what goes through these designers’ minds
Oh great, now we’re all going to have to buy voice modulators that interject some kind of patterned noise that scrambles audio recording. Just like those masks that interfere with video.
The privacy arms race has begun.
In a decade we’ll all be wearing privacy helmets.
Wait, that sounds kind of cool actually.
Daft punk was ahead of their time
“I have nothing to hide, not even the private conversation happening next to me”
I don’t need recaps; I was literally there.
You will once you’ve got permanent brain fog from super Covid.
Its gonna keep a scoreboard of how much you crank your hog
Who is dumb enough to think they want or need this? We’re all aware that this is just more data collection, right?
/google anything like how to partition a drive in Linux/
/bunch of minutes-long videos appear/
nah. we will cry when when see how many humans think this is cool
You would be surprised. Perhaps astonished. Certainly dismayed.
Its not doing anything with my day. Don’t have one, don’t want one.
Do you ever leave your house? If so then yes this does directly affect you, other people wear them and will do so around you.
3 seconds of conversation with the cashier isn’t much of a recap of my day.
Their Israeli R&D center hard at work
Who wants a recap of their day?
“You woke up at 7:22am!”
“You played stardew valley in bed for 14 hours!”
“You took minor chickie mcnuggie breaks twice today!”Damn, this day sounds awesome.
Ideal day tbh
Are you watching me through a camera rn???
On your LG TV, yes.
All these years we have been watching TV, and now the tables have turned. The TVs are watching us.
We all are
Is this even legal in the eu?
It will be with the right bribes
Coming soon! The iWatch U
Apple seems really focused on preventing the audio from making it off the device.
Which fine, I believe they’ll make that very difficult. Apple has engineering chops.
But it’s not the fucking point. I ALSO don’t want every watchhole around me making transcriptions of anything I say within earshot of whoever wears one. Which will be way less noticeable than even smart glasses. Say goodbye to having an unrecorded conv in most public places.
The whitewashing of the privacy probs with this is galling.

Huh? That tiny fucker uses AI to process the conversations itself?! How?
Isn’t that going to drain the battery and heat up the thibg to high hells? I’m assuming it’s either that or the output will be crap.
Once the technology is implemented and ubiquitous it would only take a secret government mandate and a gag order for the code to be altered to listen for particular words and phrases and log them
And its all closed source and propretieary. So no one would know.
I was reading up on that and how they plan on processing it in the Secure Enclave part of the watch. My only concern though is as you move more stuff into the enclave, the bigger the attack surface for the entire enclave becomes. And then at what point is more working being done in the enclave than the rest of the watch basically becoming a useless demarcation of security.
It’s processed in an exclave, not the secure enclave
And some places still have policies that don’t allow you to record audio.
