There're no discussions on HN about this company; I would think there would be, especially with concerns about the surveillance technology industry eg Flock. (There are threads about 'Spatial AI' and 'Spatial intelligence'.)

I never heard about this company until reviewing a (unicorn-seeking) job listing on their ATS. Then saw the following post on Reddit from a concerned worker at a company that started rolling-out this product/service: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladviceaustralia/comments/1ubnh...

This company started business in 2024. (Founded 2023?) Here's a supposed interview with the founder[3].

A piece on [2] laughably begins with "retail employees are empowered" by using these devices. (Side-note: I'm suspicious [2] and [3] are, in part, AI-generated content -farms.)

Yes, there's a risk of rejection but personally I don't mind being ghosted by companies that practice this unethical behavior.

People are using it as a SOCIAL network, then grousing that it sucks as a social network. And?!!

Love it or Hate it, the most-accessible job listings are on LI - more so because that's where most (American) companies & recruiters post to, knowing it's where they'll find the most-accessible candidates. If you're serious about jobsearching, you canNOT not use LI's jobs service.

Sure, LI continually enshitts on that property also, like allowing "aggregators" and outright scrapebots to enshit into the listings pool; and soon forcing their AI version of jobsearch without opt-out. It's LI/Microsoft - what did we expect?

Fortunately there're some tools to make the experience bearable and almost useful.

> Adds 'album-headers' with album-links in Recent Tracks and Library Scrobbles sections on last.fm profiles. When two or more tracks from the same 'album' have been played successively, an album-header row will be inserted above.

> Two bonus features:

Extra benefit-- is now we cannot remove our upvotes - thanks HN! - so it'll stay high in the ranking, at least for awhile.

There's a supposed spinoff @ https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/auto-clear-site-dat..., but apparently it's not ready for widescale use (and it's not open-source).

> 80% of CEOs say their role is at risk if they fail to deliver results by the end of 2026.

> The draft regulations would also ban the use of other people's personal information to create digital humans without consent, or using virtual humans to bypass identity verification systems.

Fair enough. Many can agree with that.

> Digital humans are also prohibited from disseminating content that endangers national security, inciting subversion of state power, promoting secession or undermining national unity.

Now you're asking too much!
