Why is everyone recording everyone else in San Francisco? Is it legal? And do you consent?

TLDR: Techbros in SF are wearing AI pins that record everything everyone says around them.

“My general sense is that we should assume we are being recorded at all times,” said Clara Brenner, a partner at venture capital firm Urban Innovation Fund. “Of course, this is a horrible way to live your life.”

Damn right it is. Every day one step closer to dystopia. Fuck this shit.

Unless there is some Black Mirror type built in privacy block of people showing up as glitched out avatars if they haven’t opted in.

It looks like you’ve thought of an idea to solve the problem that you stated.

In my tech utopia there wouldn’t be Orwellian surveillance to begin with. Anyone entering with those type of devices would find it not working.

It would be a haven from the other districts where big brother is always watching and citizens are always watching each other.
