What fool would buy this? Can you imagine wearing this around your office, recording discussions, etc? And what about the people you interact with being recorded without their knowledge or consent? All to "help AI learn"? Really???

Just hell no.

[Recompennation]

Well that’s disconcerting.

[quilterdebbie]

Yikes! No interest in this whatsoever! The only time I use Siri on my iphone is when I am getting directions in my car.

All elected officials should be forced to wear one of these. Everything they ever say should become part of the public record. No privacy for our Masters.

[Fai Mao]

Agree

[Blueflag]

That was my first thought. What about everyone around you? This is the audio version of Google glasses that were lampooned. People who wore them were referred to ass “glassholes.” 😉

This and the meta glasses.

...as though Sirius wasn’t creepy enough

People willingly assimilating themselves into the borg collective of hive mind.

Make it a bit larger and put it around the neck.
Monitor for bad behavior.
Then, punishment- shocks- can be delivered with a click from central headquarters.
Remember the old Star Trek episode?

Or when visiting friends, tell Siri to wake you them with loud heavy metal music at 4:00AM.

YOU SAID IT. I’m glad they showed a picture of it- I’ll be sure to be on the lookout for anyone wearing one.

It’s a portable Alexa, for crying out loud- surveillance technology taken to another level….

[telescope115]

A brilliant idea!

This and the meta glasses.

People willingly assimilating themselves into the beast system of the soon coming anti christ.

What was that movie with Schwarzenegger that had exploding collars around people’s necks….Running Man?

[Openurmind]

Your phone is already doing it even if you think it is off. They are NEVER off, The GPS, sensors, cameras, and mic are always on unless it is dead.

[Z28.310]

accurate correction

[quilterdebbie]

Haha! Good one!!!

[flyovercounrty1256]

Wow a voluntary ankle monitor for Non Criminals Orwell was so on the money

“What fool would buy this?”

Have you seen the fools wandering aimlessly around with a phone stuck in their face? Those fools.
