Ironically now that computer vision is commonplace, the cameras you talk about have become increasingly popular over the years because the magnetic systems do not do a very good job of detecting cyclists and the cameras double as a congestion monitoring tool for city staff.
and soon/now triple as surveillance.

I asked ChatGPT about it and it revealed
Not a password or key — it’s a garbled search query typed with the wrong keyboard layout.

It seemed like you could solve this using a computer vision camera system that watched the primary road and when it was idle, would expedite the secondary road's green light. This was long before computer vision was mature enough to do anything like that and I found out that instead, there are magnetic systems that…

cameras are being used to detect traffic and change lights? i don't think thats happening in USA.
which country are you referring to here?

I cycle a lot. Outdoors I listen to podcasts and the fact that I can say "Hey Google, go back 30sec" to relisten to something (or forward to skip ads) is very valuable to me. Indoors I tend to cast some show or youtube video. Often enough I want to change the Youtube video or show using voice commands - I can do this for Youtube, but results are horrible unless I know exactly which video I want to watch. For other se…
Do you have a lot of dedicated cycle ways? I'm not sure I'd want to have headphones impeding my hearing anywhere I'd have to interact with cars or pedestrians while on my bike.
also biking on roads you should never count on sounds to guide you. you should always use vision. for example, making a left you have to visually establish that driver coming straight has made eye contact with you or atleast looked at you.
can you share a example of how you are using sound to help you ride bikes with other vehicles on the road? are you maybe talking about honking? that. you will hear over podcasts.

Fiction works, but if you want to spend the evening depressed then go for any East/West Germany (true) stories.
For it or against surveillance and I can understand, but just not understanding the issue? No excuses -- personal surveillance for the sake of the state is one of the most discussed social concepts in the world.
Seems similar to the Amazon Nova Act API which is still in research preview.
> It is not yet optimized for desktop OS-level control Alas, AGI is not yet here. But I feel like if this OS-level of control was good enough, and the cost of the LLM in the loop wasn't bad, maybe that would be enough to kick start something akin to AGI.
Funny thing is, most humans cannot properly control a computer. Intelligence seems to be impossible to define.
