In some sense, it’s still better than the privacy-touting Limitless (where I was told that enhancing the privacy of the app conflicted with the payment model of the company). At least you could make this thing more secure.

You can, for instance, compile your own back-end, and compile your own app, and run this little AI gadget completely from systems you control (or, at least, services only you are paying for). But the development expertise required to do this is significant, so it’s effectively moot.

The future is a cybernetic one. As the world heats up and our lives degrade beneath the feet of billionaires, technological tools will become normalized to the point of dependency.

That said, the devs have very sadly left their project to support Omi, which doesn’t bode well for OSS wearables. And, granted, the Adeus doesn’t focus on any of the privacy concerns related to recording everyone around you, but at least it lets you keep the data you record to yourself.

We need to start talking about them if we’re going to stand any chance of heading them off at the pass before our whole society is overrun.

It’s not, actually, a future that my science fiction-loving heart desires, maybe because it’s the dystopian end of the sci-fi spectrum. These projects are just the tip of the iceberg.

Never forget a name, always have the context for that important meeting on the tip of your tongue; be able to know exactly why an argument unfolded the way it did?

I don't understand how anyone can be anything but outraged at the existence of billionaires. The whole concept is horrific.

Of course, I'm going to vote Kamala. And, if she wins🤞💙 I'm going to be part of the movement pressuring her to take a more progressive stance on literally everything. We can't have another 4,8,12 years of middle-of-the-roadism. But change happens because people ACT, and in our version of a democracy that means VOTING.

Here's the thing though, voting is even more important at the local level. We NEED those local elections to flip toward progressive agendas. We NEED voters like you to fight for ranked-choice, for universal healthcare, for universal basic income, for campaign finance reform ... and those fights all start in YOUR hometown.

I conducted an interview with the creator of the "Okey Dokey" meme playing homage to KC Green's "This is Fine" viral sensation!

@wraptile The curse of Mastodon. 😅 Either I drop a lot of hastags or I have to repeatedly spam the same post under different tags.

I'd love a universal UI update that drops them into a sub-section like Tumblr.

Ahem.👀 😉

As others have pointed out... this, like pretty much everything he writes, is also available free. On his profile on Mastodon, for instance, or his website. 😶🌫️
