With Visual Intelligence, your world becomes savable. See something you like? Just ask me to save it for later,

"Siri, save a picture of that woman, for later". Are they trying to market this to perverts?

"Siri, save a picture of that ~~woman~~ little girl, for later".

In case it wasn't strong and repulsive enough. But of course nothing is repulsive for the rape island visitors.

I suspect Siri would tell you to fuck off, it's pretty restrictive. Can't even properly use Siri while driving using Apple Carplay, have to manually touch your phone instead to reply to messages lol

[–] Anarki_@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Lol.

Circumventing this (assuming it comes) will be trivial and you know it.

"Siri, save this picture of my niece so I don't forget them". Ezpz.

[–] shutz@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

Or, "Save a picture of that little girl's dress, I think my niece would like one like that"

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

Uhm, yes? I thought that was obvious. The Epstein class wants to spread their perverted ways and normalize unforgivable behavior.

[–] Kaligalis@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago

This could poison the well for this category of wireless headphones. People will just assume that all AirPod wearers are glassholes.

[–] roomy@lemmy.world 32 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Now there will be thousands of camera equipped IoT devices everywhere we go. I might invest in a bluetooth/wifi jammer. xD

[–] Zarobi@aussie.zone 14 points 3 days ago

Yeah I feel like these inventions such as pervert glasses, smart doorbells, and now this, is to get as many cameras running 24/7 around the planet as possible. The best part is that consumers will subsidise them

[–] eicker@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Hehe… 😈

[–] TheFeatureCreature@lemmy.ca 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Everyone with a smartphone has the muscle memory to quick-draw their phone while hitting the camera shortcut to take a quick photo of whatever they need in under 10 seconds.

Stop shoving AI garbage into places it does not belong. We are so tired of this.

I think Apple wants customers to be so completely accustomed to their Apple gadgets that customers feel distressed, panicked, almost naked and helpless without them. Like a myopic person without their glasses.

[–] RobotToaster@mander.xyz 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Can't wait for all the influencers that have been crying "glasshole" and "pervert glasses" to glaze this because apple made it.

[–] FatVegan@leminal.space 14 points 3 days ago

"This is actually great because it's way more expensive and a status symbol."

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 24 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Why the fuck would I want ear cameras?

[–] Jacob_Mandarin@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Oops. Sorry i dropped my airpods at your feet. Oh no. I accidentally recorded underneath your skirt. Arent i a klutz.

Dont worry little girl. I will make it up to you. Do you want candy? Or shall we go eat some ice cream together?

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 4 points 3 days ago

Oops. Sorry i dropped my airpods at your feet.

Oops, sorry I stepped on it...

[–] Legwarmer1411@lemmy.zip 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Because you want to become a pigeon.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 4 days ago

Okay, I'm listening...

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

Its not for you, its for the billionaires to use to track and manipulate and blackmail the general populace.

[–] oh_@lemmy.world 23 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

I just want a freaking mute button for the mic. I don’t need a camera on my EARS.

[–] Monument@piefed.world 2 points 3 days ago

I often say “earballs” instead of ears (because it’s funny and I’m weird), and I’m annoyed these fuckers are stealing my bit.

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 17 points 3 days ago

„People hate pervert glasses! What are we gonna do to shove it down their throat anyway? Oh, I know! We equip airpods with cameras!“

Disgusting. Wouldn‘t be surprised if they bundled these with air tags as a pervert stalker starter set at this point. Tech bros are just the worst.

I'm sure this won't invade privacy at all in the name of AI right? Right?

[–] lemmyvore@feddit.nl 1 points 3 days ago

Eh, pods are easier to knock down than glasses.

[–] Jubei_K_08@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Maybe one of you smart cookies could invent that Black Mirror blocker that would make someone look grayed out and block their voice. We'd use it in ourselves of course and refuse to participate in this bullshit social media three ring circus.

[–] absentbird@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

This could be huge for the visually impaired

[–] veeesix@lemmy.ca 2 points 4 days ago

I was out of the loop on the camera rumours, so I thought it was a tiny camera for your ear hole or something weird like that. Definitely don’t need more cameras filming us.

[–] xenomor@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Don’t forget that Apple is the Silicon Valley company that’s built its brand on being all concerned about “privacy”, lol.

What exactly is wrong with Silicon Valley culturally? I ask this, as someone who works in Silicon Valley.

Welp Raycon's are looking better and better these days...

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Dude don't buy shit that YouTubers get paid to promote, it's nearly always shit. Sony and Bose make buds that you can expect to remain vendor agnostic for the rest of time unlike Apple, Samsung, et al. I mean yes, Sony makes phones too, but they don't have a big enough market share to disable support of some features on non-Sony phones down the line..

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I was being facetious, I buy nothing from any ads I see.
