    And apartment dwellers who share a bathroom, don’t worry — Throne’s for you too. “Just set up individual profiles in our app,” the startup’s website advises, “and thanks to Bluetooth, Throne knows exactly who’s who.”

      I see no reason for it to be cloud based. I’m sure all the analysis can be done locally

        How will line go up then? Tech isn’t cheap to research/implement and investors will require returns asap. At least here in the US 🫠

      It’s distressing just how freaking similar the sales pitch is too.

      What I’m loathed to even call the “real product”: It’s time to stop flushing away valuable data.

      The fake one: If I had information that could save your life or the life of your family members, would you flush that?

      Just… wow

      I actually interviewed for a data science role with this company a couple years ago. They were definitely cagey about what the actual product was for the initial screenings and then when they finally opened up about the role and …duties… of poop data scientist, it was actually pretty funny.

    AI is automating the job of the owners of “sick toilets” (that’s what we call those weird toilets with the poo shelves).
