alt Hacker NewsWho would buy OpenAI's spy device? I think a lot of public discourse and backlash about the greedy, anticompetitive, and exploitative practices of the silicon valley elite have gone mainstream and will hopefully course correct the industry in time.

i'm continually surprised by how many people will buy and wear meta's AI spy sunglasses.
if there's a market for a face camera that sends everything you see to meta, there's probably a market for whatever device openAI launches.

I have little hope that is true. Don't expect privacy laws and boycott campaigns. That very same elite control the law via bribes to US politicians (and indirectly the laws of other counties via those politicians threats, see the ongoing watering down of EU laws). They also directly control public discourse via ownership of the media and mainstream communication platforms. What backlash can they really suffer?
Loads of people? The Ari Alexa was tremendously successful as a consumer product no? It's the same premise but "better"
