The Google Clips Camera Puts AI Behind the Lens (theverge.com)
The Verge's Dieter Bohn reviews Google's AI camera, dubbed "Clips," which was announced alongside the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. Here's an excerpt: You know what a digital camera is. It's a lens and a sensor, with a display to see what you're looking at, and a button to take the picture. Google Clips is a camera, but it only has some of those parts. There's no display. There's a shutter button, but it's completely optional to use. Instead, it takes pictures for you, using machine learning to recognize and learn faces and look for interesting moments to record. I don't know if parents -- Google's target market -- will want it. I don't know if Google can find a way to explain everything it is (and isn't) to a broad enough audience to sell the thing in big numbers, especially at $249. I also don't know what the release date will be, beyond that it will be "coming soon." But I do know that it's the most fascinating camera I've used in a very long time.
Do you really actually think that anyone cares about anything you do? Youâ(TM)re just a standard run of the mill worker drone with absolutely nothing interesting about you that would make any agency three letter or otherwise want to waste any resources looking at you.
Are you literally retarded or do you work for the government? - Not that theres a much of a difference :)
