"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.

Camera glasses.

No need to make it super clever, just make it clear they are actually a camera that also functions as glasses. They are likely going to be a hug benefit for people with specific needs and are very convenient as a concept for a replacement to phone cameras, but unfortunately the most evil companies that spy on everyone is making them so they will end up being a net negative for society.

Yeah. Like I said in the post, I would love these for specific use cases if the software worked for me. Unfortunately, until the smart glasses equivalent of LineageOS comes about, they're literal spywear.
