I'm a bit concerned about the calorie level I see here, 832/day. That is about 1/3 of the NHS recommendation [1] for males. 1. https://www.nhs.uk/common-health-questions/food-and-diet/wha...

The lamb sandwich, orange juice and almonds alone could approach 800 calories, even excluding the other three meals. People are quite bad at estimating calories though, it takes practice.

The future will definitely have devices which record visually/verbally all your life. VR headsets are already able to record all your facial expressions. A google glasses like gear which records all your life is pretty much possible in the near future. The future influencers won't have to carry a phone/camera to create vlogs, they would just see wherever they want and the glasses will record not only the thing they a…

I predict future generations (maybe even those being born right now) to start moving away from recording and uploading everything as it's the uncool thing their parents are doing.

Excellent idea. You can later search through your logs in the future for reference. As it's all in text. Prior solutions posted on the net, had this take photo / record audio 24/7 features, but then those were stuck there. What next? What would anyone do with these data? But this Hi Jarvis styled recording of text on the go is a very useful feature. Another step ahead.

I've wanted to do the same thing with my online activity as well. Chat logs especially. They tend to go into a void and finding an older log is weirdly difficult. I've wanted to log everything and then be able to apply better search algos (semantic search perhaps) to try and make my chat logs useful.

I'm not sure people are increasingly willing to share their whole actual lives online, they are mostly presenting a curated and tailored image of themselves to project the self that they want the world to see. 24/7 straight-to-internet type recording doesn't serve that goal very well. I'm not sure that something like this would be popular among streamers, other than maybe a small niche for who that is their whole thing.

Interesting article. Thanks for posting this. I think when wearing something like google glass and recording everything the potential is even bigger. The AI can extract so much more context. Analyse faces, gestures, locations and more. Dystopian and yet so interesting.

This sounds horrible. Nobody should freely record and analyze others without consent. This is not only dystopian but also very rude and possibly illegal.

As far as recording oneself to capture thoughts, processes, this is a fine idea that I'd like to give it a try.

Expanding on the structure the OP created, this is how I see us getting to human level AI: 1. Record video sound etc... (trajectories) egocentrically 2. Analyze the data and assign reward labels (more/good, less/bad) to state and transitions actions 3. Use the reward feedback and trajectories to build the policy for some set of actions in certain environments This is why I'm bullish on anything sousveillance - so AR…

Honest question,how does this make the lives of humans better?

Current gen Tiktokers ran away from facebook and instagram, not from oversharing on social media. I think teens will always be very active on some kind of social media, but yes one can certainly hope that all of it is seen in some negative light by the coming generations.

Those recommendations are for people that are on their feet all day, not for office workers and home dwellers that never go to the gym.

Awesome idea. However people would find it weird that I talk to myself all day long.

Yeah, I can see how this would be easier if you work from home, but you could explain that you are running a long lived experiment on yourself. Then again, that doesn't exactly scream "I am fully sane" :)

Great idea. However always recording is a disadvantage for me.

I thought about a device that could look a bit like Star Trek badge. It should react to pushing it slightly and it would have a microphone. It would connect to a phone with Bluetooth.

Main use for me would be push-to-talk as I use Zello with my wife quite a lot. But all those reliable assistant/voice-notes uses would be also sweet.
