Will AI-powered wearables augment our intelligence forever? #TEDTalks #AI

Picture this: you’re wearing a normal-looking pair of glasses, but they give you the ability to quickly summarize a book, translate between languages or remember where you left your keys.

    We need to stop making the world worse. When this is convinced with law enforcement, the implications will be profound, and will alter society. For the worse

    Imagine the amount of data and profiling they can do with these. I mean they already collect a ton from our mobiles and more, but this is way worse. Convenience is a killer. They own us with this.

    This is scary, as it means keeping the AI on at all times… but I do see the benefits of this. Imagine a world where everyone has a glass or contact lenses with ai? Theoratically, a single ai system has its eyes on everything especially crimes and can help stop them

    This is crazy – would you take them off while going to the bathroom as that’s when i love to scroll social media? Just saying it’s a little creepy even for the convenience. Any semblance of privacy would be null and void.

    Yuck. I don’t want random AI programmers having access to everything I see.

      Well don’t worry then there is nothing random about who has access to all your data.

    • @samuelsurfboard9887

      April 22, 2025 at 2:09 am

      Google already has access to all your data so it’s still the same thing

    So we don’t need to think anymore? Is that the goal here ?

    • @pattracey105

      April 21, 2025 at 12:40 pm

      The Global elite have an agenda to hugely reduce the world population through war, poverty and famine – imagine how many jobs will be lost with this.

  12. @pattracey105

    April 21, 2025 at 12:45 pm

    I am impressed but also terrified. Cameras the size of a shirt button can be linked to this. Privacy is a thing of the past. The way government agencies will use this is terrifying. The number of jobs lost incalculable – the elite dystopian society is no longer in the future it’s here and now. If only we had taken George Orwell’s book 1984 as a manual not a work of fiction.

    • @MrStredders

      April 21, 2025 at 6:29 pm

      It’s a weird thing though: people don’t want governments harvesting their data, but are quite happy to give it all away to Facebook, Instagram etc whenever they post the trivialities of their lives all the time.

  13. @Willa.Johnson

    April 21, 2025 at 12:46 pm

    With all this AI help. It’s making our reliance on our own memory to falter. Always asking something where is this? Where is that? We are going to become the dumbest race there is.

  14. @FabianSiller-d2w

    I really appreciate your efforts! Just a quick off-topic question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

    It won’t augment our intelligence any more than a smartphone does.
    It just offers a level of convenience, but when did that ever augment anything?

    • @adubber97

      April 22, 2025 at 8:48 am

      I think it would affect intelligence because we don’t have to actually try to remember things anymore. Lack of exercising your brain makes you stupid.

    Nothing about this is impressive at all. This is the fullest prostration and deterioration of the human species to the fullest degree. Prove me wrong.

If one thing has become clear this season, finding the right talent for your team isn’t as easy as picking from a pile of resumes This week’s guest is Leah Solivan, the founder of Taskrabbit and now an early-stage investor who has seen that the power to change a homogenous startup exosystem comes from empowering diverse VCs to fund underrepresented founders who will hire the hidden tech talent.

From bootstrapping TaskRabbit on credit cards to scaling it into one of the defining companies of the gig economy, Leah learned firsthand that the hardest part of building a company isn’t the product, it’s selecting the right people to build it.

In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Leah unpack what it really takes to build diverse teams from day one and why most companies get it wrong by waiting too long. They also explore how the lack of diversity in venture capital directly shapes who gets funded, and ultimately, who gets hired.

Apply to Startup Battlefield: We are looking for early-stage companies that have an MVP. So nominate a founder (or yourself): techcrunch.com/apply. Be sure to say you heard about Startup Battlefield from the Build Mode podcast.

TechCrunch Disrupt: If you’re thinking about applying to Startup Battlefield, then October 13 to 15 in San Francisco, we’re back for TechCrunch Disrupt, where the Startup Battlefield 200 takes the stage. So if you want to cheer them on, or just network with 1000s of founders, VCs, and tech enthusiasts, then grab your tickets.

01:20 From engineer to Taskrabbit founder
03:39 The moment that sparked Taskrabbit

New episodes of Build Mode drop every Thursday. Hosted by Isabelle Johannessen. Produced and edited by Maggie Nye. Audience development led by Morgan Little. Special thanks to the Foundry and Cheddar video teams.
