Also with products like Baby Monitors you’ll find they are often MORE expensive if they don’t have an app or smart features that connect to the internet or your phone because the fear of cameras in the home being hacked.

The thing that worries me is you know this stuff is going to cost a sub fee going forward. They will hook you in, then start charging for a sub down the line with new generations of the product. Worse still the hardware will have no option to not have it equip with the tech that costs money. So, the hardware price will go up regardless of if you want to pay a sub to whatever rubbish it is. My thoughts are it will start with "extra XYZ for $" or "hey you like this feature, how about this other better one for just $? a month". Its going to happen.

I can relate. That’s what I say when I wake up every morning.

[@chanm01]

Don't forget that this is CES we're talking about. Expect the products which are practical and in demand by consumers to be overshadowed by spectacles. If people see all this and somehow lose the ability to discern useful applications of AI from AI (or pseudo AI) gimmicks, that's on the consumer or the media. Caveat emptor.

Did Linus miss the ai catflap with facial recognition? Seriously Linus, that thing is so funny I'd watch every video about it, including a feature legnth.

[@bobspldbckwrds]

I want a Dennis video about the catflap.

[@Polite_Cat]

Is it face recognition for your cat? That's stupid. That's more complex and less accurate then what I have, which is a cat flap that reads the RFID chip in the cat's neck in case it gets lost. If it detects the right chip, it opens the flap. No stupid AI or cameras required.

[@bgezal]

@@Polite_Catit also detects if your cat carries a "free gift" (caught mouse) in its mouth and blocks it from entering.

Why should they cover it in this video when they have already done so in another?

[@Splomf]

The difference with having better peripherals and having a straight up cheat is that a cheat is doing something for you. With nice peripherals you still have to do all the work. Your aim doesn't magically get better with a nicer mouse, You yourself must improve your aim to exceed the limits of your old peripherals, if those even held you back in the first place.

[@simpson6700]

what if there is an AI mouse that corrects overshooting your target, or shaky hands? the monitor is doing something for you, looking at the minimap and projecting the information in a more noticeable location. this is only the beginning, we will see more questionable AI peripherals soon. as linus said, drawing an outline around an enemy in a shooter could be next. or how about calculating bullet drop and enemy movement in battlefield and telling you where to aim?

[@loldoctor]

@@simpson6700Peripherals for managing bullet spread or recoil already exist and are problematic for cheat detection since they’re not running on the computer or console. I think the “assistant” shown in this video is also really difficult to detect because its effects are somewhat subtle. On the other hand, it seems to just be checking for enemy portraits on the minimap, so it’s hardly “AI” compared to emergent tech nowadays. Just basic machine learning. God only knows what more advanced AI might enable.

[@Splomf]

@@simpson6700 All of it is cheating and all of it should be bannable/banned

[@spooksmalloy]

The peripherals are doing something for you, they're providing crucial situational awareness that other players have to actually train to get. It's pay to win nonsense.

[@Splomf]

@@spooksmalloy Agreed. Hopefully the industry realizes how much we don't like and don't want this. Make a good monitor, not a cheater monitor.

We are extremely close to having "translators" that you can wear around your neck to automatically translate your language and another language INTO a headset so that you can understand people. It won't be long at all. We are on the precipice of having no more language barriers at all which is wild to think about. AR glasses that enable you to read foreign characters via AI combined with character recognition as well as a "communicator" that can use AI to automatically convert your speech into audible foreign languages and send foreign language input into an earpiece to your native language. Crazy times. We're not there yet, but we are very, very close.

[@xvxvcaspervxvx]

Thats kinda how languages work in the Mass Effect game lore.

[@IanDresarie]

given what google Lens and related apps on my Pixel can already do, I am super surprised we don't have a wide range of such products yet. The software is clearly there and works pretty well, so I really wonder why the attempts at making hardware to use it more conveniently have failed so far.

[@jernaugurgeh451]

About the only positively useful use of ‘AI’ that I can think of

[@zimbu_]

For English/French/Spanish I'd almost agree because translating between closely related languages with plenty of material to teach your LLM on is relatively straight forward, but if we're talking about someone speaking Jin Chinese and having it be translated to Finnish on the fly it's more "understanding maybe kinda, understanding near to speaking the same language probably impossible with current approaches".

[@FunctionallyLiteratePerson]

I have to say for some languages and dialects I have horrible experiences with even Google translate, and worse with other alternatives (even "AI"ones). I don't know how soon I'd use a wearable translator. I've gotten the opposite meaning at times, which could cause huge problems if not obvious by context

[@TheBurg229]

The problem is that tech companies now try to come up with a way to add ai to producs instead of looking at a problem that cannot be easily solved by current tech and fixing it by integrating ai into it.

[@JSmith-nu4bl]

In most “AI” uses nowadays, companies just call “AI” stuff already existed… NPC behavior in games? Now “enemy AI”

[@kapser2210]

Just a heads up, NPC enemies and such was already called AI way before chatGPT and all that jazz rolled around. In the sense of games, calling it an AI is more accurate that this, since it's trying to simulate another player interacting with you, without the player. So no, not a new thing
