I can see tremendous accessibility benefits, something we've probably only scratched the very surface of.
I can't wait to see a nonprofit, medical, or even governmental body work on something like this specifically as an accessibility tool, like hearing aids before it. That will be absolutely amazing, revolutionary even.
But this isn't about an assistive tool or medical device. This is about a mass surveillance device made by a corporation whose moral code is known to all; they have none.
When one's rights require other people's rights to be impeded upon or violated, it tends to not really be about that person's rights. It's about doing what that person wants regardless of the consequences and harm caused to others.
There is zero doubt what this product is for, and it's frankly shocking how many people willingly give away other people's rights just so they can walk around as the next generation of Glassholes — whatever the reasoning behind that may be.
That it actually can offer something helpful to some is a mere accidental side effect. And however nice that benefit may be, it comes at a cost far greater than some seem to want to accept. To ask everyone around you to give up on their rights and have their information, conversations, and more, be recorded and passed on to the Sugarmountain is, quite frankly, too much to ask for that accidental benefit.
Not to mention the moral and environmental costs. But I know most folk tend to wave away these issues when they are brought up in the context of "AI" usage. It's the meat eater's argument all over again.
