I'd gladly wear a headset like that! I think you dramatically overestimate the number of people that would actually care about any theoretical privacy infringement here.

In my opinion, you do not have an accurate view of how much the average person cares about this. London is the most surveilled city on the planet with widespread CCTV/facial recognition, as is Washington D.C. and China. But literally no one bothers with anti-surveillance measures.

This is a very antiquated view IMO. You are already being filmed and monitored at work. I see no issue with a local LLM interpreting my environment, or even a privacy-aware secure LLM deployment like Apple's Private Cloud Compute: https://security.apple.com/blog/private-cloud-compute/

Not really surprised that you don't see it as a problem

Funniest thing I've heard all month.

Do read through the linked article. Not sure how you could make cloud compute more private if you tried; apart from homomorphic encryption.
