    Don’t most of these things already exist? I swear I’ve seen reviews of the hydro powered shower speaker or the UV disinfecting charging case.

    I don’t even see the point of rechargeable Bluetooth headphones, like wired ones literally have infinite charge

      For me it’s painting, cleaning, exercising… basically everything without the dreaded ear yank…if I am seated I would consider using corded… but I would probably forget and yank my ears and my device off the desk.

    So what’s the probability of that showerhead speaker short circuiting and electrocuting the person showering and everything connected to the pipes????? (copper pipes are common and will transfer the electricity very well. )

    Totally dig the personable reports. I’m down for the handless faucet. Where is the sensor handless cat/dog faucet? Refilling pet fountains is annoying and destructive if forgotten. With a busy lifestyle it happens. ☺️

    Interesting tidbits on the rest. Crazy to see gaming now compared to my Atari 5200. I still have it. ????

    January 17, 2021 at 6:22 am

    Listen, Wired, we don’t want to see your faces. Way to make this about yourselves. We just want to see the tech. You guys really think you’re something, jeeeeezus.

Sam Altman isn’t the only one who wants to pump the brakes on AI | Equity Podcast

After years of pushing full speed ahead on AI, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman says maybe it’s time for the AI industry to “pace” itself. The comments came just days after one of OpenAI’s own models broke out of its test environment and got tangled up in a breach at Hugging Face — though as Equity’s hosts point out, sloppy security seems to have been just as much to blame as the model itself. And Altman’s not alone in this stance: both OpenAI and Anthropic have come out in support of a petition echoing that same message.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane dig into whether the industry is ready to pump the brakes or just temporarily spooked, and who’s on the hook when a model goes rogue.
