It’s neat that AI is already ruining the world in really tangible ways.

Most people don’t find turning the lights off and on burdensome enough to justify a whole lot of effort to avoid.

Same. I was like “this cannot possible be a hard drive and it cannot possible get plugged into that thing, that’s where the wifi card goes on a laptop.”

Right next to my ps/2 keyboard and mouse with serial adapter cause you never know.

Its a problem if you don’t know to do it because the it is not intuitive if you aren’t familiar with hardware jumpers as a concept since this was one of the last holdovers from that era and befouled many a hobbyist. You build it and it “just doesn’t work” and “learn that jumpers are a thing” is pretty far down the list of things that most people troubleshoot when their new build won’t post.

Man, if you wanted to destroy the entire American tech sector it seems like dumping everything into a red herring product that won’t ever be more than a parlor trick would be a really good way to do it.

“Digital Memory Prosthetic” – A Wearable That Records Everything You Hear and Summarizes Your Day
What it solves:
People forget names, conversations, tasks, and ideas.

Capabilities:
Auto-transcribes your day (meetings, errands, conversations you permit).
Summarizes the day into a personalized journal.
Finds moments later (“When did I promise to follow up with Sarah?”).

Why it’s huge:
If it’s private, secure, and optional, it becomes the next evolution of personal productivity—basically “external memory.”

Yep, and now you know why all the tech companies suddenly became VERY politically active. This future isn’t compatible with democracy. Once these companies no longer provide employment their benefit to society becomes a big fat question mark.
