      I mean, if that one gains sentience and goes all SkyNet on us I’ll understand where it’s coming from

    I mean, there is a legitimate benefit here. The camera can analyze your feces for health issues. And most people aren’t smart enough to set up their own server so they host one for you. And the AI analysis would cost a lot more to be processed locally.

    And personally, I would not be terribly concerned about photos of my poo going into a database.

    Not saying you should buy one of these but it definitely can provide value, especially if you have intestinal issues.

      My field is bioinformatics. I’m willing to bet $500 there’s little to no valuable data being gathered at all, and quite a lot of noise, rather than anything relevant for your health. I’m sure, just like your smart watch, they can make it sound like some deep insights and health exploration, but I guarantee you it’s not.

When contacted for a statement on the matter, the department’s spokesperson stated, “Fuck off, lib.'”

  No shit, Sherlock, where do you think the other end is? I would be even more concerned than I already am if the other end wasn’t Kohler.
