You strap it onto your wrist or clip it onto your shirt. Itāll then listen to all your conversations.

After wearing Bee for two weeks, I noticed my behavior started to change. On day three, after a workout and latte, I committed bathroom crimes. Unthinking, I cracked a joke about my digestive sin. According to the Bee transcript, I said, āShit! This thing is listening to me!
Later that day, I met with my editor. Bee summarized this and said my editor āmessaged me this afternoon because he saw something funny on a shared platform we both use. Apparently, one of my āfactsā had automatically updated to vocalize my thoughts about a bowel movement!ā Bee also suggested I start carrying around Lactaid again in my to-dos.
Having reviewed several Bee-generated summaries in the first two weeks, AI should learn to butt out of conversations about death, sex, and bowel movements. Life is hard enough. No one needs to be humbled by AI like this.

The machines work far quicker, producing in mass
Why would I trust a writer who canāt even spell en masse?
Even you. Becauseāwhether youāre an artist, a writer, or something else entirelyāI bet you buy the majority, if not all, of your bread from that aisle in the grocery store stocked with nothing but the products of automating machines.
Yeah, they donāt know any Germans, do they?

I assume that was either written by AI or its precursor, AutoCorrect.
Isnāt it ironic?

Iām not sure exactly how much āAIā (vs. typical machine learning) is really powering these robots, but itās certainly getting easy to imagine a real-life robot uprising or just a human-controlled army of killbots. The scary part to me is that these things are already on sale to the public for less than the price of a base-model Nissan Versa:
And of course the Boston Dynamics robot is getting more capable as well, although I doubt itās anywhere near as cheap as its Chinese counterparts:
