"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I got a few suggestions:

Spywear
Panopticals
Suckerbucks
LensCrappers

The thing is, if these things had a reason for existing besides being data-collection apparatuses for big tech, I would love them. Not to wear out and about, but for various tasks where a heads-up display would be useful. Like, imagine working on an Arduino, ESP32, etc project and having the pinout overlaid. Or having them display the readout from a multimeter while you're doing electrical work.

Here's hoping the jailbreak scene on these is promising.

That's....pretty much it.

Though I'll concede the hardware could be useful (not as everyday wear but as a purpose-specific tool).

I did have a smartwatch for a while but it was a DIY kind (Lilygo T-Watch) where you could write your own firmware. Only reason I stopped using it was the battery life was like 90 minutes tops if you wanted to do anything useful with it (ESP32's Bluetooth "low energy" is anything but).

Notifications were kind of useful (I already have my notifications pared down to only essential things) but I found it most useful as a remote control for my phone (media controls, quick actions, etc).
