    Just think of all the insider information they’ll gain with cloud connected dictation software. They’ll make a killing on the stock market.

    I really hate this framing of “idea that no one had requested”. It echoes the terminally online worthless dumbfuck line of “who asked?” Enough with this shit. No one needs to ask for anything. Ideas are ideas. This is yet another bad one.

    Bots eavesdropping? That’s a great way to see all the nerds dead silent on the mandated cam feeds except for the furious typing and occasional smirk. They’re probably working.

      Guy at my last job would not speak if the Zoom was making an AI summary. He’d tell everyone up front, turn his camera off and go mute.

        I wish I could be that guy. I’m just curious how he got away with it. Surely that behavior pissed off a manager type.

    These Psychopathic Tech Oligarchs know that it is only a matter of time before the AI Slaughterbots turn on us, and they’re hoping that their obsequience will save them.

    It won’t. Hopefully the Slaughterbots will kill them first.

    Hanneke Faber became CEO of Logitech on December 1, 2023, after leaving her role as group president at Unilever. Since joining the Swiss peripheral manufacturer, Faber has attracted attention for her unconventional ideas about how personal technology should evolve – often with a focus on benefiting shareholders and companies first.

    Faber is now best known for proposing the so-called “Forever Mouse” concept – a device with constantly evolving firmware features built on base hardware that customers would purchase only once. According to Faber, users would happily pay monthly or annual subscriptions to access these software-based upgrades. However, no concrete business plans have yet been announced to bring the idea to market.

    Regarding pricing, the CEO compared the mouse to a Rolex watch and the software to Logitech’s video conferencing business. A paid subscription is possible, but Faber offered no further details.
