Actually I find the idea of recording everything (or maybe not everything, but seamlessly recording whenever I want) quite attractive. I have a bad memory and would love to be able to rewatch good moments of my life.
The part about all that data being in control of powerful corporations, though... that's what makes me thing that I'd prefer it to fail as well.
I wish we could have this sort of tech outside of the framework of modern capitalism.
- plugin-baby 3y agoAll the bad moments would be recorded too, and many of the recordings would be outside of your control.
- Al-Khwarizmi 3y agoI would choose what to play, but of course, the "outside my control" part is the problem.
- plugin-baby 3y agoMany may be unable to resist the temptation to watch things that won’t make them happier.

- AlecSchueler 3y agoFor some definitions of awesome. Amateur pornography already has huge issues with consent and age verification, and is also more and more being weaponised against women as revenge pornography.
- merlincorey 3y agoYou should look into something called "Sousveillance".
- repeekad 3y agoAlso “The Truth of Fact, the Truth of Feeling” by Ted Chiang Less about the panopticon of surveillance, but about the ramifications of having perfect memory in your daily personal interactions.
- vinay_ys 3y agoI wonder if using less of memory-recall capabilities of the brain will lead to loss of other important capabilities. So, I worry if using too much tech crutches is going to be detrimental.
- Kiro 3y agoShouldn't the first step be to find out if your speculation has merit before you start worrying about it?
- AlecSchueler 3y agoFor personal use I kind of agree with you but I would be very concerned about the stalking potentials. We're already seeing huge issues of women being targeted by guys making and distributing "creepshots" and now deepfake based harassment. Constant recording is both a tool to increase access to women in public places as well as to separate the user's feelings from the world they're inhabiting. Edit: I note that someone else is in the thread already saying "It's going to be awesome for amateur porn" without any caveats about the rampant consent issues of amateur pornography, revenge porn or age verification.
