The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way. It has a “Trust Light,” which blinks on whenever the Pin is recording.
Might not make a difference for people as long as it’s pointing at them and could be recording, but you made it sound like it always is. I also don’t find it desirable in any way, especially with that subscription price tag.
I do get the idea of having a different device form factor for an AI device, but I don’t think we’re there yet for what AI can do. Still interesting through.
And what Facebook TV/camera device are you talking about? The Quest 3? Or Ray ban glasses?
Yea that’s fair, it doesn’t live stream everything back to its home base. I meant it more for the second bit you mentioned :)
Also for the Facebook TV, I think I mixed up the Facebook Portal (which you connect to your TV) with this “Free” TV that tracks you and shows you ads constantly:
So, it’s like the badge from Star Trek you can tap to activate in order to talk to your shipmates or the computer. Except without the…y’know…ability to access a teleporter or do anything remotely interesting or meaningful.

A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.
Just to clarify:

Both are bad, but the second one looks worse
