I would love to record everything I see (assuming perfect solutions around video security and storage, another topic), not because I’m a creep and want to watch the videos, but because it acts as a personal dash cam.
But I would prefer not to get it via Google or Facebook.
Even the humble recorder app that came with my phone, which I used to record interviews for genealogy - turns out, I am locked out from my own audio file. It's saved on the device, but I need root to access it. If I get that, my bank punishes me for my irresponsibility by disabling the apps I need to e.g. log in to government websites. I can only get my audio file if I upload it to Google first.
So that another topic is quite relevant.
I'm not so sure it will be inevitable and widely used. I'm sure it will be used by our secret police. I also think they prefer we didn't get it, or at least that our use of it was heavily mediated by a government-partnered organization like Facebook or Google.
"wow you send Every Single Frame of your life to zuck?" - i will have no retort than to hang my head in shame.
i just wonder what google will come up with. they can't let zuck have the entire cake, especially when they had The Vision 10 years ahead of him.
Even critical thinking is now being offloaded to ChatGPT.
A friend of mine loads up a YouTube video of how to tie a necktie every morning...
being able to seek-scroll throughout your day like a non-stop livestream is objectively a power-up. some people will get oneshotted by it - but a lot of people have been oneshotted by a lot of different things over the decades.
short-form video fried lots of brains, but it also built out the infra for all the other stuff. it is what it is.
Incidentally if y’all aren’t following this space there are bike rear lights which have cameras and radars in them and they hook up to a cycle computer, warn of cars coming up behind and how far away they are, and can be used as a ‘dash’ cam for near misses / bad driving / accidents.
