Erm - delete the cube, then click Add->Mesh->UV Sphere :-) In all seriousness though - this is absolutely amazing. Imagine it in conjunction with the Facebook/Rayban glasses with integrated cameras and headphones. Now you can walk around an event and hear "this is John Doe, he's a VP at X Corp..." or you look at a product and hear "you can get this for 30% less at this store"... I appreciate the concerns around privacy - but tech has steadily been moving in the opposite direction - so at least we're starting to get some value from giving up so much data.

It sounds appealing - until we start relying on it for more and more for even the menial stuff, we stop bothering to turn it off, and hyper-capitalism/consumerism takes it over. I find this to be quite believable: https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs https://youtu.be/YJg02ivYzSs I sure hope uBlock will work on it :)

Yeah, people walking around with little cameras recording everything they see and sending it to OpenAI sounds totally awesome and not like a dystopian black mirror episode at all!

This is the imagination of my nightmares. Surveillance and consumption. Useful tech might have you look at a product and say "you don't actually need that. you can use the one you have at home that works great" or maybe list out the amount of global energy it takes every time you and the world queries the model.

> or you look at a product and hear "you can get this for 30% less at this store"... That's called an ad (in particular, a coupon) and could be done already with phone cameras and the pseudo-AR that's been trendy in the past few years, but it's cheaper done by simple contextual advertising or even a coupon site. Not that it's actually useful. That "30% less" is coming from somewhere, and believe me, it's not coming from the sellers if they can help it. Someone's getting shafted, and as the saying goes, if you can't spot the sucker in the room, you're the sucker.
