Two former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time.
“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology.
Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.”
“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.
At what point will we not be able to detect them?
When your mom briefly mentions hers and you realize your conversations have been recorded for god knows how long.
If my mother has one then uncontacted tribes in the Amazon also have them. She’s only recently learnt that you can send gifs in messaging apps. Now it’s all I get.
At some point I’m going to have to have a conversation with her about how memes have meaning, and you need to respond with the right one, and not just like a random one.
