fuck offffff
No fucking thank you 😒
This will be quite illegal in all countries and states that require 2 party consent at minimum.
Incoming Google lawsuits in 3, 2, 1.
lol. they are exempt from copyright, they will be somehow exempt from this too.
Honestly, I thought they already did that.
One of my motivations for becoming more privacy minded, was the amount of times a subject of conversation was delivered through an algorithm later.
It was creepy, talk about hose pipes> receive hosepipe content/ads.
I think so but now it’s being marketed as a feature which is nauseating.
My creepiest experience was shopping at Lowe’s and then getting recommendations on Amazon that night for drill bits and cabinet door handles. The thing is, I had purchased some drill bits at Lowe’s so OK, but I had only stopped and looked at the cabinet door handles.
Your phone told advertisers you were located at Lowe’s using GPS. Then your credit card company told advertisers you bought drill bits. If you looked up any cabinet door handles in the past, that data was given to advertisers too. They put all those pieces together to serve you more ads on drill bits and cabinet door handles.
A lot of stores keep track of which aisles you spend more time in, that information is then shared with their “partners” (ad networks). By the time you made it home, they had already shared that you bought bits and that your device spent a while looking at cabinet hardware.
I’m sure there’s more than a little Baader-Meinhof happening. I did expand my privacy a bit; pihole, searxng, some other stuff and I notice it less now. Or I think I do, humans are notoriously bad at this.
Yeah there’s a “now playing” feature that will recognize music being played nearby, which I have found useful many times.
An AI note taker could actually be useful for some applications, like a meeting summary or play-by-play for a d&d session. It’s just all the other stuff about AI that makes it shitty.
Sure. If you actively turn it on, and all involved know it’s on. But this is always active as far as I’m aware.
I’m guessing it’ll be toggle off, and it’ll toggle itself back on every update.
In other words, they’re taking your data for their use all the time, and sometimes they’ll share your data with you.
I have such a hard time believing it’s not a phenomenon. I know coincidences happen, but mannn
I’ve been advertised things that my wife has talked to me about that i otherwise have no interest in. I absolutely believe my phone is listening.
Your wife probably searched them online. The advertisers got your public IP address to display ads of what was searched. It’s so subtle and people leave digital bread crumbs everywhere that it gives the appearance that the phone is listening to you.
Truth be told it’s more processing power and work to stream and auto transcribe everyone’s audio from their phone. It’s effortless to just scoop up all search and purchase data.
I can remember my own coversations myself, thanks.
And what I feel I might both need and forget I’ll write down Either on the phone or using pen and paper.
I need a lot of tshirts with writing, that i do not consent to picture, audio capture, capture of biometrics from me and so on. Maybe here in Europe it may help a little.
It’ll have the same level of legal power as those facebook boomerposts of “I do not allow zuck or facebook to use my likeness for any reason”
Yes that’s true. But I think if I would sue someone it could have some weight but for this you have to know it, proove it and sue someone. I would wear it more as a statement.
Fucking yikes
“For Pixel Phones”. So it’s a hardware thing… for now.
Constant surveillance 😡
Audio memories 😍
BIG BROTHER IS

HELPING YOU REMEMBER YOUR IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS
Outside of the MASSIVE security concerns that this would present, this would be an immensely helpful feature for me.
Yeah, me too. But I find not getting really hammered achieves a similar thing. I’m working on that.
Creepy but this would be very helpful. Hopefully it’s on device instead of the cloud.
Wait for the release, see if it’s immediately available in Europe: if it is, it’s not just local anyway, this is Google… ಠ_ಠ
How much long before Apple does this if they aren’t already?
They have been doing this with Nest for years. Lots of reports of people saying something random and suddenly getting ads. Say no secrets!
It’s sad I never realized how many things have microphones in my room. I wondered all the different ways advertisers can use audio for targeted ads the other day and came across an article recently talking about how the CIA was able to tap into Smart Samsung TVs and spoof the speaker light to not be on. Its a fucking scary world we live in.
Just in my peripheral we have smart TV with mic in the remote, laptop with mic, phone with mic, PS5 Controller with mic, Switch 2 with one and an IR Camera in both controllers, overear Headphones and ear pods both have mics, PC Webcam has one, tablet has one, and smartwatch has one. Like bruh.
Keep shit unplugged when not in use.
If you weren’t aware, speakers can be used as microphones.
Interestingly Zuckerberg used to have a sticker over the camera on computer monitor. He was well aware a decade or so ago.
amazon did this with alexa, not surprising.
Aaaand it’s Niantic all over again.
I hope this is exclusive to newer models and leaves my 8 pro alone… fuck Google
The pixel line has had dedicated AI chip/functionality for several generations
Yes, but a good chunk of feature updates notate certain features only works on 9 and up or 10 and up despite no apparent reason, at least to myself why it wouldn’t work on the 8 series
Yeah it’s hard to tell which way it’ll go, some features get gated away as an incentive to upgrade
