Not a long or engaging article but I have to agree with the talking points. AI really has crept its way into every device in the last 24 months one way or another. I can only assume once this house of cards comes crashing down then the downstream MBAs will stop peddling this shit.
The privacy and autonomy issues worry me a lot, but what I find really disturbing is how all of these so called solutions do everything to try and remove the human element to… being human? I’m not really sure how to explain that better because we’re at a new development in tech and this is clearly a warped moment. That being said, tech has always been about trying to solve issues, or make something easier. This tech doesn’t really do that for you, but it does something that most people seem somewhat uncomfortable with but can’t quite describe yet. Our species is borderline hellbent on social interactions, it’s an evolutionary advantage and we need it the same way a border collie needs something to herd. If we start replacing human interactions with these types of devices and tech, I think it’s going to put a crippling hole in us. I think most people see that one way or another and that’s why there’s pushback.
While not an exact copy, there is an echo of a few seasons of Black Mirror in this article. And the author is not wrong.
It’s partly because AI has sucked all the oxygen from the room, but partly a lack of anything else that’s new and exciting. Not a lot of cool new gadgets. It’s been one of the most dull CES events I’ve seen.
I didn’t even bother checking out what’s on offer this year. I figure it’ll just be like ‘blow-dryer with AI’, ‘home automation with AI’, ‘fridge with offensive ads… and AI’.
I don’t know if it’s more the political climate of the world atm, however this CES felt dystopian.
The one thing I think is really revolutionary is IXI’s lenses. [https://www.engadget.com/wearables/ixis-autofocusing-lenses-multifocal-glasses-ces-2026-212608427.html](https://www.engadget.com/wearables/ixis-autofocusing-lenses-multifocal-glasses-ces-2026-212608427.html)
There’s a lot of people (young and old) who will benefit from not having to stuff around with pairs of glasses all the time.
It’s kind of funny how these people in tech are so obsessed with getting AI embedded into our lives as much as they can like the way it is portrayed in sci-fi fictional worlds without actually ever really thinking or considering how imperfect our world is to the fictional ones.
from what i hear, waymo is a great example. „auto driving just works! no more drivers“ my ass.
I watched the Nvidia video and they showed several large plant scenerios with robots assembling and moving materials and product with 2 or 3 people kinda standing around.
Then they should many robots on stage (but greenscreen) from toys, construction, medical, policing, earth moving equipment.
I watched the port at Freeport Bahamas one day a couple of years ago. Like 3 people working, many robots and automation
Our local garbage truck went from 3 guys working to a driver and a robot. Probably soon to be just a couple of robots.
At work companies we deal with are automating and its difficult if anything goes a bit different than usual.
The death of 3rd spaces(places that are neither commercial nor residential, think public parks and community centers and the like) has been going on for a long time, this is the next evolution of that. The corporations do not want you having basic human interactions without them getting paid.
We all be jobless while not being able to afford that AI coffee maker that wants to talk to you about politics.
When you’re in a rush to get to work, the robot will make you a sandwich for you to eat on the go, sparing you the effort of making it yourself. If you don’t feel like going to work, the robot will go on your behalf.
Any idiot knows that cramming AI into everything is gonna be a disaster. It’s not about the destination. It’s the journey. Millions of assholes are getting filthy rich along the way by peddling this garbage and in capitalism, that is the only thing that matters.
