That auto-transcript real-time LLM-based self-organizing thing is just freaking revolutionary! Imagine Healthcare service in half the time (or double the efficiency) Brazilian "National Health Service" is called SUS (Unified Healthcare System). The service is pretty good and totally free, but you often have to wait a long time in the waiting hall until you finally get to talk to the doctor. The doctor will take notes as they speak with you (both on computer and on paper), and you both might spend 50% to 80% of the time of the appointment in silence while the doctor needs to take their time with the note taking. It that's augmented with AI, not only will you have twice the efficieny, but also the SUS will be able to track your history recorded online for better science and better service! I'm so excited that might come already in the next 2 to 3 years
SUS doesn't keep a record of your medical history? it looks like you live in a 3rd world country. Oh wait, brazil is a 3rd world country because of decades of socialism+corruption !!! i know a brazilian president that was put in jail because of "corruption" and "money laundering"... ah, just remembered it now: it was Lula! he was taken out of jail by the now world famous STF (brazil's supreme court) and Elon is fighting one of its members: alexandre de moraes ("brazil's Uncle Fester") to try to stop his dictatorship in brazil!

Surprisingly the coolest thing IMO is the rewind that is so cool! I can think of a million things it could help with, specifically lost work. I hope windows support comes soon. Also I like how they used a regular t-shirt for their demonstration instead of AI pin, where they used trench-coats to make it not look heavy.
What I find interesting is that they're doing the Home assistant monetary strategy. Try to get the device as cheap as possible just to make people buy it and then it's the software and the features that they really make money on.
This is crazy. I mean this is actually useful, it'll help doctors, movie actors and other work related tasks. Maybe even youtubers as well. I like how they don't force the subscription on you though half baked at least it's not forced unlike the ai pin.
re: privacy, just like with cameras, I believe if I can hear it with my ears, I should be allowed to record it without additional permission, i.e. one party consent. You can't opt in to ears lol so why should recording be any different?
Confidential Cloud sounds misleading - I would assume the LLM running on the cloud must need access to the plain text for it to work. This means the encryption can only take place at rest after the cloud service is done with the data rather than encrypted end to end.
The draft email idea you mentioned is EXACTLY what enterprise needs. I've recently been tasked to go through 4,000 emails to pull the important ones. I want to have a conversation ABOUT my emails as well as others. Cant wait for you to build something and share a video :) Keep these awesome videos coming!
So I'm wondering if how it works without a phone is to store everything in the pendant and then connect to your phone or PC later to transfer. If so, an important question is how much data it can hold until it gets a chance to upload later. Based on current tech level, I suspect quite a few hours.
If you think about it, with a few more updates, a combination of the o1 light device, the limitless pendant and the Meta glasses will make a person a transcyborg until BCIs become ubiquitous.
That is more closer to a Star Trek communicator, for which I'm looking for. And the price is nice, not conviced on hte pivacy but lets see. Wont be an early Buyer I be honest but will see how it develops and if it delivers after they come out half a year a year or so and I will jump on it. (Probably with a Star Trek communicator case just to geek out)
@11:00 I read consent mode is off by default. I take this to mean that it will record everyone unless turned on, and then omit recording someone who doesn't opt-in for recording when consent mode is turned on.
I suppose this makes sense from the standpoint of large meetings where you can't practically poll a room full of people for consent. Though it kind of renders the concept of consent mode useless. Teams notifies everyone if transcription/recording are turned on, to use this model they would have to have integrations.
@carowjp yeah, I guess it depends on the law where you're using it. Where I am you are free to record without consent if you are party to the conversation.
I am looking into this and might jump in once the Agents are available and you can make your own. That's a requirement for me. I want to code my own stuff and integrate it.
The one thing I found comical on the Humane Pin was that it was "trying to replace the phone" - except it DOES NOT. If it would have been a stupid little bluetooth gadget working with an app on the phone - that would have worked, but do not tell me you replace the phone if I have to talk loud, have no screen, no apps - i STILL need the phone.
RED ALERT - This device and others similar need to be under the same legal umbrella as doctors, lawyers, etc ie "client privilege's" and unable to be subpoenaed in any court. The protection of privileged communication include attorney-client, doctor-patient, priest-parishioner, two spouses, and (in some states) reporter-source. If harm-or the threat of harm-to people is involved, the privileged communication protection disappears.
They’re offering advanced ai models processed in the cloud, and at the same time promising that your data is encrypted and inaccessible to them. How then can they process your data in the cloud if it’s encrypted? Something doesn’t add up 🧐
a. array mic b. auto summary c. AI leverages all the prior recordings for you. d. permission from others If you use a bluetooth mic and record others without consent, not good.
It's different in that it's *worse* than existing solutions using a non-ancient smartphone. For numerous, various reasons I carry two phones with me. Even without bluetooth you can pick up on 99% of what's being said in a room...
Okay now for a professional message: I like it. I like the features. I like the opt in privacy protections, but... Subscription costs? Sorry I can't do it at the moment.
I'd let them use my ChatGPT Plus, Claude-3 Opus, and Gemini Ultra subscriptions, so I actually can make sure they get no copy of the data, but I'm not trusting them to protect my data. I trust billion dollar companies wayyyy more than the tiny players.
For in-person work environments. This already exists for those of us that live in Zoom calls. I could see companies issueing these to remote workers visiting HQ.
please please do a follow up once you install the software. I understand it's only for meetings currently? I couldn't see it do the same features rewind pro could do before - however pro wasn't yet available for windows. I can't seem to find how to record your day at work, if you have a windows pc
This device can be an amazing tool for realtime translation of other languages, imagine traveling to any country and not have to worry about the language barrier, it’s a game changer.
Rewind is not using local AI. It uses local storage and embeddings to search but sends (uncontrollable) data to GPT-4 when you use the Ask and other AI related functions. It also constantly records your screen and OCR all data. This keeps you CPU busy. You also need to understand, that there is no way to protect your local data from other people with access to your computer.
What I gathered was a multi task usage for a wholistic skill set that could make it worthy. Staging and set up usages . Work outside with your hands in dirt ,grease ,wet messy environments may find more use than even offices where your just surrounded by stations and seeking ways to kill time or look busy lol
The product I want is kinda like this one, but that I can connect to my mono bluetooth headset, and that does close to real time translation live of a convo in say japanese to english etc. I dont really need a fancy calender, got my phone..
Surely one's phone can perform the functions of the pendant. Voice assistants can be always listening, connect to integrated AI and cloud access, and are typically always with you.
Just a bluetooth mic? AI itself is the application in your phone using browser webGL to inference and reply to you, so it does not require sending stuff online? but the AI model would not good, I remember webGL can only process 1.5B model, and it spend huge energy in the phone.
I already have a wearable... it's called an Apple Watch. And I carry my iPhone everywhere I go. I don't need yet another device. Apple's forthcoming AI announcements at WWDC just need to include this functionality with their watch and I'll be good--if I need it.
Cons: Single Functionality: The Pendant focuses solely on recording and transcribing conversations. It lacks additional features beyond memory enhancement. Limited Auditory Interaction: While users can ask questions by tapping and holding the device, it's unclear whether the response is audible or in-app. Privacy Concerns: Although Limitless emphasizes data protection, some users may still have privacy concerns about recording impromptu conversations and personal moments. Overall, the Limitless Pendant offers a unique approach to memory augmentation, but users should weigh its benefits against potential privacy considerations.
Get ready for an exciting journey filled with awesome updates and cool discoveries! The thorough analysis has sparked anticipation, eagerly awaiting the big changes that Limitless AI will bring to boosting productivity. Their dedication to providing great content is truly impressive - they should keep up the amazing work! Fans are excited to see how Limitless AI will shape the future of productivity tools. With each new discovery, they dig deeper into innovation, finding lots of cool ideas and paving the way for big improvements in tech.
It’s just the subscription model that’s killing it for me. Everything is a subscription model. It’d be great if they could allow an on-device AI on your phone/laptop to do this rather than adding another 20$ on my monthly bill.
Great cover ❤ Let's wait to see if they let us use it for our custom ai pipelines as input... It so that will be insane, and if not we'll be a jailbreak. Also I think you misunderstood, it's not local, it's on a "confidential cloud" with your encryption.
a capable AI assistant is only really feasible if it records everything you do so it has the context to properly support you. so recording as much and as often as possible is the right approach here. but yeah definitely wouldn't want that data in some corporate's cloud.
Lots to like here and reading the comment make me think your crowd are well informed. It's interesting to read all the opinions without any real animosity. I'm gonna wait for the tsunami of devices to to break before committing. Glad I watched this video.
Totally agree with opt-in; but also for EU compliance the consentor would need to also need to have access to view and delete the held data within a reasonable time frame -- so this is a barrier - they can't legally launch in EU.
Great review. Still, that cloud part is not convincing at all. The promise of locally run LLM is what a wearable needs to be a standalone device, what's needed for real privacy control, and for making it different from a smartphone variation.
Coming soon to an employment contract near you (everyone) soon: Auto opt-in ☹️. I like the simplicity and precision of the voiceprint-connected opt-in but concerned that it might get tedious without a shortened handshake. If you playback a conversation with someone who declined - what can be gleaned from the replaced audio?
I am excited about this pendant but the cost of the subscription is going to keep a lot of people from signing on. There are too many companies/services that want you to subscribe monthly. $20 here and there adds up and many folks can’t find it, especially these days. I’m not in the US and this will cost almost double the $99 and shipping cost as well as closer to a third more for the subscription. LimitlessAI bring that subscription cost under $10/myh
I look at this device as smart voice recorder. Can please cover this use case in your review. Much like police use body cameras for training to improve sop and such.
Personally, I think any device like this, at this point in time, is basically a way for companies to grab money from investors. The world of AI is changing so fast, next week the tech will be 100x better.
Having a device be our memory and assistant in decision making, plus so close that we literally need to wear it, I feel that instead of augmenting human cognition, this and similar products will make humans dependent on them for basic work. We train our brains to pass their limits. Without training, baby brains of spoiled humans can only be as good as the device they rely upon.
as consumers we are now at the mercy of endless subscriptions to live as modern human. Would be nice if a device like this would link to our AI of subscription of choice.
Wow can you think of the next gen of police cameras. I was in law enforcement for about 11 years and transitioned into private security. Now I am in school for cybersecurity. This makes me want to see what we can do by integrating police body cameras, radios and Ai. AI could be made to pick up on certain sounds, or phrases for recording and transcription. During incidents where police u def high stress have not been able to clearly say to the human dispatcher a problem has occurred. The radio could transcribe such things with help of gps for other responders to know where you are and what exactly is wrong. Edit: I believe the pendant will have the same connection requirement as police body cameras. It will have enough storage for potentially 100 hours and then you must plug into pc to charge and move your documents over.
The combination of real time speech, video, and direct earpiece feed back would go a long ways toward a safer environment for both the officer and the subject being interacted with. Add the ability for AI to speak through a speaker would even help de escalate in many situations aka a neutral third party.
Matt, please when you review Rewind, see if you can teach it custom actions. For example, I manage about 18 Facebook pages and we have a huge community there and I don't want to give page access out to other people to assist with the page, but I would like to train an AI agent or something like Rewind to perform actions on my behalf. I am waiting on a Rabbit R1 device to see but would like to know your thoughts. I have tried Multi-On but its still kind of buggy. Thanks for all your great videos and awesome reviews. ~RadioCave
Looks great, but not having a camera is way limiting not limitless. I mean isn't that one of the main reasons to have something strapped to your body to give you more context/info of the real world, vision is key, without a camera it's very limited. I sure most would rather a camera and less battery life, 100 hours is bit unnecessary.
i will contact them and ask for 3 features: - consentless recording: If i am in a store and someone explains things to me or tells me that the item will be repaired on monday i do not want them to consent nor is there need to have their voice patterns stored. I want to get somewhere and the person giving me the directions has to be consenting? No way. I might want a summary of this video for later without having to ask for your consent. - pause mode. If I am watching a movie, this youtube video, be with my partner there is no need to record or for consent to be given to record. - remove functionality. i should be able to say, 'forget t he last half hour'.
Can't imagine them helping you break the law. Unless you are in a public space, recording someone without their permission can land you in jail. Also laws very different in EU. Rewind lets you delete, so Limitless app would be expected to also allow.
@@brianmi40 Lots of states in the US are one party consent for audio. This means that you only need one person to consent to recording and it can be yourself regardless if its in person, on the phone, etc. This isnt against the law and no one would be going to jail. Realistically, consent is going to have to be an optional setting left to the users descretion on when to turn it on and off. There are simply to many use cases where having it on would make it a hinderance. For instance lots of people record the audio of lectures at school to go back and transcribe later. This includes the audio of other students asking questions which is extremely helpful. Having to go around and get 100+ peoples consent before a class isnt going to happen and I imagine students are one of their target markets. In the US if you are in public legally there is no expectation of privacy.
@@brianmi40 I didn't really agree or disagree for the most part -- other than the public part which I do agree with. You said a lot of things that could be perfectly fine in some places and illegal in others. This is a complex issue that is going to be interesting to see how it unfolds across all AI projects. The safest thing to do is to have consent turned on always. However this makes the device useless in a lot of situations. My guess is that when it is released it will be an optional setting, possibly on by default, that you can disable. This puts it on the user to decide if it needs to be on or can be off and makes them less liable. Or another option would be to have the user select a region where the device would be used similar to how other products work and modify settings based on that. But this would require more work on their part so they probably wont do it.
I'm all for learning AI and utilising the knowledge. I'm not so sure about defining the limitations of individuals based on what a select few are capable of and then issuing broad statements concerning human capabilities or implied lack thereof.. These guys need to rethink their marketing strategy, the product is still just a product likewise was "The Emperor's New Clothes"
I thought about recording all the e time for an AI assistant too, unfortunately I couldn’t work out how to access messages and WhatsApp, due to privacy reasons. Only Apple or Android (Google) could solve this (at the moment).
Imagine if phones didn't take pictures of people without consent. Pictures of cities would look devoid of life. I thought this product would be great for students but i wouldn't want to go up to all my professors to get permission to record them.
My phone and social media already spies on me...why would I want ANOTHER device?😂..I take good notes anyway....However what u could do is use this as self assessment software. that may work.Like it could help analyze your habits and behaviors
Needs to be sound and video. Basically like a Tesla. Tap into various voices, all at once. Vision 360- 6 degrees. In real time give you advice, ‘There’s someone over your right shoulder pointing and talking about you. A real time, high sensor AI, with multiple agents, working in your favour. That will be the killer app, AI wearable. The personal digital Assistant, if it can hover about and go places and bring back info, even better.

Reminds me of the black mirror episode where there is a device that records everything the user does.
What I find interesting is that they're doing the Home assistant monetary strategy. Try to get the device as cheap as possible just to make people buy it and then it's the software and the features that they really make money on.
This is crazy. I mean this is actually useful, it'll help doctors, movie actors and other work related tasks. Maybe even youtubers as well. I like how they don't force the subscription on you though half baked at least it's not forced unlike the ai pin.
BLACK MIRROR
re: privacy, just like with cameras, I believe if I can hear it with my ears, I should be allowed to record it without additional permission, i.e. one party consent. You can't opt in to ears lol so why should recording be any different?
Confidential Cloud sounds misleading - I would assume the LLM running on the cloud must need access to the plain text for it to work. This means the encryption can only take place at rest after the cloud service is done with the data rather than encrypted end to end.
The draft email idea you mentioned is EXACTLY what enterprise needs. I've recently been tasked to go through 4,000 emails to pull the important ones. I want to have a conversation ABOUT my emails as well as others. Cant wait for you to build something and share a video :) Keep these awesome videos coming!
Enterprise wont allow such products to be used or integrated with, so its a tough sell.
So I'm wondering if how it works without a phone is to store everything in the pendant and then connect to your phone or PC later to transfer. If so, an important question is how much data it can hold until it gets a chance to upload later. Based on current tech level, I suspect quite a few hours.
I could see how handy AI voice cloners are going to become with this. prompt: I consent
If you think about it, with a few more updates, a combination of the o1 light device, the limitless pendant and the Meta glasses will make a person a transcyborg until BCIs become ubiquitous.
That is more closer to a Star Trek communicator, for which I'm looking for. And the price is nice, not conviced on hte pivacy but lets see. Wont be an early Buyer I be honest but will see how it develops and if it delivers after they come out half a year a year or so and I will jump on it. (Probably with a Star Trek communicator case just to geek out)
@11:00 I read consent mode is off by default. I take this to mean that it will record everyone unless turned on, and then omit recording someone who doesn't opt-in for recording when consent mode is turned on.
I suppose this makes sense from the standpoint of large meetings where you can't practically poll a room full of people for consent. Though it kind of renders the concept of consent mode useless. Teams notifies everyone if transcription/recording are turned on, to use this model they would have to have integrations.
@carowjp yeah, I guess it depends on the law where you're using it. Where I am you are free to record without consent if you are party to the conversation.
I am looking into this and might jump in once the Agents are available and you can make your own. That's a requirement for me. I want to code my own stuff and integrate it.
Was turned on to your channel in my MECS AI class. Keep up the great work.
The one thing I found comical on the Humane Pin was that it was "trying to replace the phone" - except it DOES NOT. If it would have been a stupid little bluetooth gadget working with an app on the phone - that would have worked, but do not tell me you replace the phone if I have to talk loud, have no screen, no apps - i STILL need the phone.
RED ALERT - This device and others similar need to be under the same legal umbrella as doctors, lawyers, etc ie "client privilege's" and unable to be subpoenaed in any court.
The protection of privileged communication include attorney-client, doctor-patient, priest-parishioner, two spouses, and (in some states) reporter-source. If harm-or the threat of harm-to people is involved, the privileged communication protection disappears.
It is basically a wireless microphone talking to a remote AI. You are blasting your chest with wireless radiation. Hmmmmm.
Okay, I can now see the consent option. That's interesting.
They’re offering advanced ai models processed in the cloud, and at the same time promising that your data is encrypted and inaccessible to them. How then can they process your data in the cloud if it’s encrypted? Something doesn’t add up 🧐
How is this different from a Bluetooth headphones that is sending audio for processing to a specific app?
a. array mic b. auto summary c. AI leverages all the prior recordings for you. d. permission from others
If you use a bluetooth mic and record others without consent, not good.
It's different in that it's *worse* than existing solutions using a non-ancient smartphone. For numerous, various reasons I carry two phones with me. Even without bluetooth you can pick up on 99% of what's being said in a room...
Okay now for a professional message:
I like it. I like the features. I like the opt in privacy protections, but...
Subscription costs? Sorry I can't do it at the moment.
I'd let them use my ChatGPT Plus, Claude-3 Opus, and Gemini Ultra subscriptions, so I actually can make sure they get no copy of the data, but I'm not trusting them to protect my data. I trust billion dollar companies wayyyy more than the tiny players.
For in-person work environments. This already exists for those of us that live in Zoom calls. I could see companies issueing these to remote workers visiting HQ.
why cant a phone record everything? whats the point of a separate device?
you do not have your phone all day.. oh wait you do.... No idea actually :D the phone is much faster also
please please do a follow up once you install the software.
I understand it's only for meetings currently? I couldn't see it do the same features rewind pro could do before - however pro wasn't yet available for windows.
I can't seem to find how to record your day at work, if you have a windows pc
This device can be an amazing tool for realtime translation of other languages, imagine traveling to any country and not have to worry about the language barrier, it’s a game changer.
Imagine trying to ask for permission to record in another language. Also, this product doesn't have a speaker, so it won't help with the conversation.
This sounds really impressive. However, what about other languages? Will it support more than just English? 🤔
@Matthew Berman: did you already cover the 01 from open interpreter in one of your videos?
Rewind is not using local AI. It uses local storage and embeddings to search but sends (uncontrollable) data to GPT-4 when you use the Ask and other AI related functions. It also constantly records your screen and OCR all data. This keeps you CPU busy. You also need to understand, that there is no way to protect your local data from other people with access to your computer.
What I gathered was a multi task usage for a wholistic skill set that could make it worthy. Staging and set up usages . Work outside with your hands in dirt ,grease ,wet messy environments may find more use than even offices where your just surrounded by stations and seeking ways to kill time or look busy lol
The product I want is kinda like this one, but that I can connect to my mono bluetooth headset, and that does close to real time translation live of a convo in say japanese to english etc. I dont really need a fancy calender, got my phone..
Surely one's phone can perform the functions of the pendant. Voice assistants can be always listening, connect to integrated AI and cloud access, and are typically always with you.
I actually had an idea for this product years ago really great to see somebody make it a real thing. It'll really improve the efficiency of the world.
Thanks a lot again Matthew! I love your posts. They're informative and complete digest with sometimes useful examples provided. Great job!
Nno, he's referring to zoom, slack and gmail, your data is not encrypted at all, the company can access it.
Just a bluetooth mic? AI itself is the application in your phone using browser webGL to inference and reply to you, so it does not require sending stuff online? but the AI model would not good, I remember webGL can only process 1.5B model, and it spend huge energy in the phone.
My guess is this is basically a sound recorder, that sends the recordings somewhere later to get processed
They told us about form factor, colours and privacy etc, but that does it actually do? Or is it just a voice recorder?
Is there a follow up to this @matthewberman ? How did your testing go?
I already have a wearable... it's called an Apple Watch. And I carry my iPhone everywhere I go. I don't need yet another device. Apple's forthcoming AI announcements at WWDC just need to include this functionality with their watch and I'll be good--if I need it.
Cons:
Single Functionality: The Pendant focuses solely on recording and transcribing conversations. It lacks additional features beyond memory enhancement.
Limited Auditory Interaction: While users can ask questions by tapping and holding the device, it's unclear whether the response is audible or in-app.
Privacy Concerns: Although Limitless emphasizes data protection, some users may still have privacy concerns about recording impromptu conversations and personal moments.
Overall, the Limitless Pendant offers a unique approach to memory augmentation, but users should weigh its benefits against potential privacy considerations.
Get ready for an exciting journey filled with awesome updates and cool discoveries! The thorough analysis has sparked anticipation, eagerly awaiting the big changes that Limitless AI will bring to boosting productivity. Their dedication to providing great content is truly impressive - they should keep up the amazing work! Fans are excited to see how Limitless AI will shape the future of productivity tools. With each new discovery, they dig deeper into innovation, finding lots of cool ideas and paving the way for big improvements in tech.
Consent! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 - A led indicator would be great. Have I missed it? Well: I want to use my own API, with my own endpoints.
Co pilot does a bunch of these tasks already.
I want it.
Matthew did you order Brillilant Labs FRAME? I'm getting mine next week and I'm excited as ffff
It’s just the subscription model that’s killing it for me. Everything is a subscription model. It’d be great if they could allow an on-device AI on your phone/laptop to do this rather than adding another 20$ on my monthly bill.
Great cover ❤ Let's wait to see if they let us use it for our custom ai pipelines as input... It so that will be insane, and if not we'll be a jailbreak.
Also I think you misunderstood, it's not local, it's on a "confidential cloud" with your encryption.
I need this to record my boss when she has a conniption in the office.
I lost my Olympus VP-10 voice recorder and have been searching for a replacement. THIS a is very interesting option.
I pre-ordered too! I'm trying this out now, already downloaded windows app and linked mic :) This is going to be fun!
Yeah i've read their privacy page, I just find it really really unlikely that an AI company wont eventually sell your data.
a capable AI assistant is only really feasible if it records everything you do so it has the context to properly support you.
so recording as much and as often as possible is the right approach here.
but yeah definitely wouldn't want that data in some corporate's cloud.
Lots to like here and reading the comment make me think your crowd are well informed. It's interesting to read all the opinions without any real animosity. I'm gonna wait for the tsunami of devices to to break before committing. Glad I watched this video.
Totally agree with opt-in; but also for EU compliance the consentor would need to also need to have access to view and delete the held data within a reasonable time frame -- so this is a barrier - they can't legally launch in EU.
Now the question is, how long does the consent last? Is it revokable once it's given in the same meeting session?
Great review. Still, that cloud part is not convincing at all. The promise of locally run LLM is what a wearable needs to be a standalone device, what's needed for real privacy control, and for making it different from a smartphone variation.
Woohoo 🎉 Brand new way to waste a time and privacy 🎉 All this devices and tools are just a way to collect a training data for next AI models...
Coming soon to an employment contract near you (everyone) soon: Auto opt-in ☹️. I like the simplicity and precision of the voiceprint-connected opt-in but concerned that it might get tedious without a shortened handshake. If you playback a conversation with someone who declined - what can be gleaned from the replaced audio?
I am excited about this pendant but the cost of the subscription is going to keep a lot of people from signing on. There are too many companies/services that want you to subscribe monthly. $20 here and there adds up and many folks can’t find it, especially these days.
I’m not in the US and this will cost almost double the $99 and shipping cost as well as closer to a third more for the subscription.
LimitlessAI bring that subscription cost under $10/myh
Might try this, but suspect apple will do version which will make it obsolete.
Does this allow students to record lectures using this device? How does it ensure the privacy of those around them?
This could be awesome for students at university shame youd have to ask the lecturer for his permission. Shows the things to come.
This looks much more usable! I would love to try one, but I'll wait for now
I look at this device as smart voice recorder. Can please cover this use case in your review. Much like police use body cameras for training to improve sop and such.
Personally, I think any device like this, at this point in time, is basically a way for companies to grab money from investors. The world of AI is changing so fast, next week the tech will be 100x better.
Having a device be our memory and assistant in decision making, plus so close that we literally need to wear it, I feel that instead of augmenting human cognition, this and similar products will make humans dependent on them for basic work. We train our brains to pass their limits. Without training, baby brains of spoiled humans can only be as good as the device they rely upon.
No windows app that I could find. The web site just took my email to let me know if they ever make one?
Our phones are recording as now anyway 🎉
You should be able to record a mugger or crazy hobo somehow, with a certain word used to automatically begin recording a potential crime.
as consumers we are now at the mercy of endless subscriptions to live as modern human. Would be nice if a device like this would link to our AI of subscription of choice.
Wow can you think of the next gen of police cameras. I was in law enforcement for about 11 years and transitioned into private security. Now I am in school for cybersecurity. This makes me want to see what we can do by integrating police body cameras, radios and Ai. AI could be made to pick up on certain sounds, or phrases for recording and transcription. During incidents where police u def high stress have not been able to clearly say to the human dispatcher a problem has occurred. The radio could transcribe such things with help of gps for other responders to know where you are and what exactly is wrong.
Edit: I believe the pendant will have the same connection requirement as police body cameras. It will have enough storage for potentially 100 hours and then you must plug into pc to charge and move your documents over.
The combination of real time speech, video, and direct earpiece feed back would go a long ways toward a safer environment for both the officer and the subject being interacted with. Add the ability for AI to speak through a speaker would even help de escalate in many situations aka a neutral third party.
I'd be more interested in the AI telling the police officer he's about to break the law if he commits on that threat to suspect.
Matt, please when you review Rewind, see if you can teach it custom actions. For example, I manage about 18 Facebook pages and we have a huge community there and I don't want to give page access out to other people to assist with the page, but I would like to train an AI agent or something like Rewind to perform actions on my behalf. I am waiting on a Rabbit R1 device to see but would like to know your thoughts. I have tried Multi-On but its still kind of buggy.
Thanks for all your great videos and awesome reviews. ~RadioCave
so this will be a private alexa, ai voice to text and ai app manager?
Looks great, but not having a camera is way limiting not limitless. I mean isn't that one of the main reasons to have something strapped to your body to give you more context/info of the real world, vision is key, without a camera it's very limited. I sure most would rather a camera and less battery life, 100 hours is bit unnecessary.
i will contact them and ask for 3 features:
- consentless recording:
If i am in a store and someone explains things to me or tells me that the item will be repaired on monday i do not want them to consent nor is there need to have their voice patterns stored. I want to get somewhere and the person giving me the directions has to be consenting? No way. I might want a summary of this video for later without having to ask for your consent.
- pause mode. If I am watching a movie, this youtube video, be with my partner there is no need to record or for consent to be given to record.
- remove functionality. i should be able to say, 'forget t he last half hour'.
Can't imagine them helping you break the law. Unless you are in a public space, recording someone without their permission can land you in jail. Also laws very different in EU. Rewind lets you delete, so Limitless app would be expected to also allow.
@@brianmi40 Lots of states in the US are one party consent for audio. This means that you only need one person to consent to recording and it can be yourself regardless if its in person, on the phone, etc. This isnt against the law and no one would be going to jail.
Realistically, consent is going to have to be an optional setting left to the users descretion on when to turn it on and off. There are simply to many use cases where having it on would make it a hinderance.
For instance lots of people record the audio of lectures at school to go back and transcribe later. This includes the audio of other students asking questions which is extremely helpful. Having to go around and get 100+ peoples consent before a class isnt going to happen and I imagine students are one of their target markets.
In the US if you are in public legally there is no expectation of privacy.
@@nombable Thanks for agreeing with me. 10 states require 2 party consent.
@@brianmi40 I didn't really agree or disagree for the most part -- other than the public part which I do agree with.
You said a lot of things that could be perfectly fine in some places and illegal in others.
This is a complex issue that is going to be interesting to see how it unfolds across all AI projects.
The safest thing to do is to have consent turned on always. However this makes the device useless in a lot of situations.
My guess is that when it is released it will be an optional setting, possibly on by default, that you can disable. This puts it on the user to decide if it needs to be on or can be off and makes them less liable.
Or another option would be to have the user select a region where the device would be used similar to how other products work and modify settings based on that. But this would require more work on their part so they probably wont do it.
Pendant without a phone, surely they would just store the recordings on the device and then transfer when near computer or charging.
i have bought the 59 dollars one few months ago here is the question will I get one or my money is lost ?
Them UA-cam bucks gettin you husky my boy, just playin, my dude. You’re great
I'm all for learning AI and utilising the knowledge. I'm not so sure about defining the limitations of individuals based on what a select few are capable of and then issuing broad statements concerning human capabilities or implied lack thereof.. These guys need to rethink their marketing strategy, the product is still just a product likewise was "The Emperor's New Clothes"
I thought about recording all the e time for an AI assistant too, unfortunately I couldn’t work out how to access messages and WhatsApp, due to privacy reasons. Only Apple or Android (Google) could solve this (at the moment).
Imagine if phones didn't take pictures of people without consent. Pictures of cities would look devoid of life. I thought this product would be great for students but i wouldn't want to go up to all my professors to get permission to record them.
How about different language support?
My phone and social media already spies on me...why would I want ANOTHER device?😂..I take good notes anyway....However what u could do is use this as self assessment software. that may work.Like it could help analyze your habits and behaviors
Needs to be sound and video. Basically like a Tesla. Tap into various voices, all at once. Vision 360- 6 degrees. In real time give you advice, ‘There’s someone over your right shoulder pointing and talking about you. A real time, high sensor AI, with multiple agents, working in your favour. That will be the killer app, AI wearable. The personal digital Assistant, if it can hover about and go places and bring back info, even better.
Please update us on your user experience as you find new or cool uses for it. I'm considering getting one
