    Yeah, that's a great idea, I will add this to the feature list ;) But I think for the V1, I'll stick to positive reinforcement. Not 100% sure "aversive conditioning" builds the lon…

    You're right, the trust is at zero. My entire mission agrees with your core premise: "If the data is on a server, someone will find a way to abuse it." That's why my entire archite…

    That’s why the plan is to invert the usual logic: instead of capturing everything and trying to filter later, the system would reject everything by default and only respond to what…

    Thank you, that's a very valuable and encouraging contribution :) I've also considered the idea of collecting data now that might be useful later. However, at least within the EU, …

    I completely understand your concern, and I agree, the kind of scenario you describe would be morally unacceptable. I wouldn’t want to build or be responsible for anything that cou…

    A very interesting insight. I hadn't expected that, but of course it opens up new possibilities. Sometimes it would be really interesting to crawl back through older thoughts :)

    Really interesting link to "Jiminy", I hadn’t heard of that before. Also didn’t know Musk was planning something similar, but I think it’s more of a phone than a wearable?

    Just to clarify, the “reminder” example was just one possible use case. The idea isn’t to capture everything or pretend to read thoughts, but to offer flexible support based on con…

    Is there anything you’re thinking about where this might be useful for you?

    Good to know, I will double check commits if I see your name haha ;)

    Totally fair perspective, and I respect how thoughtfully you approach it. It’s helpful to hear where others draw boundaries, even if the whole landscape feels hard to escape. Thx

    I wouldn’t trust a “god made by man” either ;) That’s why I’m building something small, local, and transparent—more like a tool than a deity. Curious what kind of system (if any) y…

    So even if it were open source, that wouldn’t be a reason for you to trust it? Just curious: what would have to change for you to even consider it? Is it more about the concept its…

    I agree that real empathy comes from lived experience. But I wonder if there’s room for something softer: systems that don’t pretend to be human, but still support us in deeply per…

    The core idea is that the AI runs locally on the device, and all data is stored on the device. Therefore, no data will be shared or sold to other companies. Regarding anonymization…

    That's a good point. Did you use it? If so, what did you use it for? Could you imagine that something like rewind but with camera could be useful?

    Comment #45781500

    That makes me wonder --> how do you currently deal with your smartphone, which often has wakeword detection enabled (like “Hey Google”)? Or when you're visiting friends who have an…

    Then, we are in Matrix ;) But I think this is already one step ahead of my idea ;) But I think I know, what you mean - the human aspect should not be lost in the process. Do you se…

    Would it make a difference if the data were only stored locally on your device?

    I imagine it helping me remember things or stick to my habits. For example, if I want to lose weight and have a weak moment, it could remind me—like when I order a burger. It could…

    Ask HN: Would you trust an AI that sees and hears everything you do?

    I'm currently in a very early phase of my project. Therefore, I'm interested in your opinions about this. Imagine an AI (e.g. wearable) is always integrated into your daily life. I…

    I was often frustrated because I mostly heard “what can't be done” instead of “how it could be solved.”
