    Frankly humanity does not need this invention one bit.

    It may have legitmately sounded interesting and futuristic to some people a decade ago, but with the way tech companies are trending this type of tech will become an absolute surveillance and privacy nightmare. I mean it aleady is really, but it will get so so much worse.

    Regulate and legislate these into oblivion. At the very least tech companies need to be punished financially for trying to speed run dystopia but I fear we’re already sliding down that slope and it’s too late

      Genies out of the bottle now man.

      Look forward to an arms race and eventually a cold war. This is our generations nuke.

      Yah. Unfortunately, we’ve got it though. :( :( :(

      People I know, some friends, they are completely oblivious to how much it will surveillance them. Or how much Meta already does, in other ways. “I don’t care, I’m not doing anything wrong”.

      Constant surveillance erodes a society. It erodes democracy.

        Half Life 2:

        C1: This is how it always starts. First a building, then the whole block.

        C2: They have no reason to come to our place.

        C1: Don’t worry, they’ll find one.
