This looks even scarier than that TV/camera device by Facebook.

It’s powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and uses a camera, depth, and motion sensors to track and record its surroundings. It has a built-in speaker, which Humane calls a “personic speaker,” and can connect to Bluetooth headphones.

Hell no. If a friend starts wearing a subscription-based body cam connected to "AI", I'm going to cut them out of my life.

It also sounds so stupid as a concept. Why would I use this instead of a phone camera? The laser display sounds like a much worse equivalent to a tiny smartwatch screen. The only use case might be when doing sports/activities, but we'd need a much more robust device for that (and much faster response times for it to be useful)

I honestly can't see myself ever using something like this. Aside from any other considerations about the ethics of AI and how potentially creepy this device is... I'm a visual person. I don't even use voice controls, or indeed the actual phone call option on my phone unless I have to, because I process the world better by looking at it. Having to control a device primarily by talking to it rather than interacting with it via a visual display is a deal breaker for me.

Still not sure why I would want a worse smart phone.

This is a worse experience than a phone on every way I can think of. For a moment I thought maybe it could be a good solution for visually impaired people, but then I saw the laser projection screen. This seems doomed to be e-waste.

So is this a starving model covered in copper paint? Who is this person wearing this thing?

T-Mobile

So it's useless if I go on a road trip?
