Watching this Apple event tout how iPhones will soon be able to record ambient audio/conversations and transcribe "high level notes" for you. It's billed as private and end-to-end encrypted, but I think the bigger harm is the normalization of always-listening devices. It's creepy and not normal.

@zackwhittaker Big techbro will be watching you.
@zackwhittaker So we have the PervertGlasses and now comes the StalkerPhone
@zackwhittaker don’t they already do this when listening for „Hey Siri“?
the end of privacy is the end of the Private Citizen
@zackwhittaker "End-to-end encrypted"
End 1: your device; End 2: Apple's servers. Checkmate privacy!
@zackwhittaker Wouldn't it just be easier to ask the waiter to repeat the specials?
@zackwhittaker You’re not wrong. I think as a society we’re about to have to navigate a whole lot of invasive technology. Be it Meta’s pervert glasses or an always on bugging device in someone’s pocket.
@zackwhittaker it’s also disappointing because it plays into existing conspiracy theories about “your phone is listening to you all the time”.
