  • Maybe if they make a watch with a camera cover and a laser that draws a little box around what it can see and it all runs locally, then I might be interested.

    Mainly to identify plants and mushrooms.

    Not a fan of the idea of everyone pointing AI powered cameras at me all the time, like with this weird pin or smart glasses.

    Such products should have a legally mandated camera cover, microphone shutoff and a REALLY OBVIOUS tell to everyone around you if you are using the camera or mic.

    Bonus points if it screams a really loud “PERVERT” alarm if you’re doing something creepy.

    If only that was true for smartphones too…



  • It is kind of interesting how open machine learning already is without much explicit advocacy for it.

    It’s the only field I can think of where the open version is just a few months behind SOTA in all of IT.

    Open training pipelines and open data are the only aspects that could still use improvements in ML, but there are plenty of projects that are near-SOTA and fully open.

    ML is extremely open compared to consumer mobile or desktop apps that are always ~10 years behind SOTA
