This will change the waiting in line frustration (amusement parks, breakfast joints, gadget fanboy first sales). Venue, restaurant, store issues vests - folks waiting single file play group Sudoku, order food (group by color vest), and of course you need accessories for that new gadget or pick something limited edition for being patient.
this will inspire short-range EMP

We taught Shenzhen to build the phone. We are teaching Palo Alto to weld.

Kneeling could be flagged as "suspicious activity

Confessions could be recorded for "pre-crime" intervention

Preaching could be pattern recognized as "organizing protests"

For the data harvesting, TVs should be free. Consumer value will revert when your humanoid can project shows on any home surface and retailers will rejoice that freed up flatscreen floorspace.

Don't be surprised when the hypetrain derails, take the vibeverse less traveled by, and it will make all the difference.

Wearables redirect or chip shortage turmoil? My prediction for the not to distant future: gamers "vibe coding" niche personal experiences. One prompt, no code, no subscription.
PSA to Driving Sim vibe coders and their enablers - Your racing game data ≠ real-world driving training data. Training FSD on gaming data = teaching AI that driving is a competitive sport where the worst outcome is hitting "restart". Real roads have pedestrians, weather, unpredictable humans, and actual consequences. Gaming AI would learn all the wrong lessons. Imaginary gameplay telemetry might be valuable, but not for a world of street festivals, farmers markets, and school zones.
Re:Dead Internet Theory on Monday January 19, 2026 @06:59AM (#46677996)
Ground News's approach is worth modeling because it treats authenticity not as a binary detection problem but as a transparency and comparative analysis problem. It assumes bad actors exist and makes them visible rather than trying to achieve perfect filtering. The shift from "trust this AI detection algorithm" to "here are multiple independent signals for you to evaluate" is philosophically aligned with how we should handle the Dead Internet problem. It's less about building perfect walls and more about giving people the tools to navigate an already-compromised space intelligently.

Re:Roc Camera on Friday October 24, 2025 @03:46PM (#45698393)
Consider pivoting from hardware sales to verification-as-a-service. Your camera could be the universal input device for identity verification (less creepy than Worldcoin's Orb), insurance claims, real estate documentation, and legal evidence. Think transaction fees per verification, not one-time camera sales. The consumer angle is weak - most people won't buy specialized hardware to prove their vacation photos are real. But enterprises would absolutely pay for a solution that reduces fraud, accelerates claims processing, or enables compliant remote verification. Dating apps would pay for "verified real person" badges. Banks would pay for remote account opening. Stop trying to create a problem and start solving the expensive problems that already exist:

Identity verification for financial services, social platforms, and gig economy (KYC/AML compliance) Professional tools for insurance, real estate, law enforcement, and healthcare documentation Enterprise authentication-as-a-service model
