Artificial intelligence took center stage at this year’s CES gadget show, but not always for the right reasons.
Anyone dumb enough to buy a Samsung fridge with integrated ads but no fucking handles to open it deserves what they get.
suck it, Jin Yang.
Deskbound AI ‘soulmate’ companion is always watching your eyes
It’s not a surveillance device. It’s your soulmate!
You mock, but it’s my golden ticket to getting my virginity back.
Lol this reminds of a Japanese guy who married a hologram.
AI doorbell… Why? Just why?
Because money. As long as you have those two magic letters in your pitch deck, investors will just pour absurd amounts of money into your project.
I don’t understand how these investors think this shit is worth anything when consumers clearly don’t want it.
Because they think their product will finally be the one consumers care about, and they don’t want someone else to get there first.
But AI is the future! If you don’t have AI in your product, you’re behind competition!
Investors clearly live in a different world.
It’s all greed and fomo
It’s a numbers game. If you invest in 500 AI startups, but one of them becomes the next Saudi Aramco, Microsoft, or Meta, it will easily cover all the losses.
Because they have so much money they are ok with a 90% fail rate.
It’s a risky investment.
100% can confirm… my tiny employer is sinking tons of man hours into AI.
Does it solve business any need? Nope. But AI!
The AI startup gets money, and the new CEO gets to drive a Ferrari. That’s all that counts. Fulfilling the requests or needs of your clients is just an optional side quest.
Wait… do you work for my company too? Lol
Ding-dong.
Open the front door, Hal!
I’m afraid I can’t do that, Dave.
…because it’s what plants crave!
If You’re an introvert and on the outside: the door bell will realize the struggle to make social contact and ring for you, no actions needed. If you’re the introvert on the inside, it will automatically decline visitors.

And if you’re a cow it’ll inseminate you.
What even would an AI doorbell even do?
facial recognition that IDs everyone who enters your house and sells that list on the open data market.
Kinky
Identify possible migrants and notify ICE. Detect illegal activities in your home and call the police on you. Scan the faces of every person that walks by your house to compile into commercial tracking products sold to government agencies and corporations.
Tell ICE that it’s totally cool if they come in, using your voice.
And this is OK because it was buried in a 300-word paragraph in size 2 font on page 37 of the TOS that you agreed to, added in a vaguely-worded email 2 days after you signed into the app
Give information about you visitors, and your movements, to tech companies.
Also attracts investors.
