I wonder what Lemmings are thinking of this device. I admire the innovation but just don’t see how this would be used in practice outside of memes.

Here’s to hoping they didn’t throw too much money into this…

They did. It has been in development for ages.

That’s a whole lot of waste. 😵

Hard pass. Like … priaprasm hard.

Digital slavery. Nice. Open Source offline AI exists. OpenAI is an intentional manipulative misnomer. Nothing about them is Open. AI can infer a ton of data about anyone with just a few sentences. Data is your entire future. Giving away a part of yourself or your company for exploitation, long term, is asinine stupidity.

What a shame. A lot of guys will have worked hard on this, perhaps going on a journey from initial enthusiasm at the novel gimmick to anxiety over real-world usability.

Sadly they’re going to lose all their money or, even worse, find a way to pay back the VC.

Saying “Integrates with OpenAI” in 2023 is exactly equivalent to saying “uses Web 2.0” from 20 years ago. Buzzword trash that says absolutely about how the product uses said technology.

So reminds me of the Star Trek communicator. The laser projector is cool and different.

I really don’t understand how things like this get made.

Like I understand that there are tonnes of rich people with zero brainpower who fund this sorta crap, but how do the people creating it ever think anything other than ‘this concept is shit and nobody will ever want this’???

Something’s got to fill up those “biggest tech fails of the year/decade” articles.

Not for me and especially not interested in a body cam but I welcome alternatives to these touch screen rectangles.

This screams like those Kickstarter ideas where some no-name throws buzzwords around and then tries to raise a billion dollars and the project fails bad.

raise a billion dollars … fails bad.

That’s just a matter of which side of the Kickstarter campaign you’re on.

DEATH TO ABOMINABLE INTELLIGENCE!

If it was an offline AI and not a data harvesting machine, this would actually be kind of cool. Its a shame, another possible innovation stiffled by greed. I’d be down to own a device where the AI is actually mine and not a corpos.

Afaik the translations are offline. At least according to Samsung.

Sounds very impractical and raises a lot of concerns. I would love to see this AI trend to die down and we could have regular affordable tech without all the spying and unreliable artificial assistants.

I have to be honest, I love the translation function this “has” or at least what was promised on the reveal. Having parents in law that do not speak the same language as me I would love to have something like that.

Exactly! I think people forget that language barrier is still a thing for big chunk of the world. A frictionless on-device translator would be huge.
