Inertia is a hell of a thing to try and overcome. It’s a big deal for most companies to change out an important piece of software, let alone an entire OS and everything that comes with it. It could happen one day, I just don’t expect to see it.
The idea isn’t to be hyper specialized to a specific task. It’s to be hyper generalized to fit into spots already being filled by human workers. The goal is for the machine to be placed in the role of a paid human worker without the need to specialize anything else in the environment, a drop-in automation solution.

My issue is that I have no reason to think AI will be used to improve my life. All I see is a tool that will rip, rend and tear through the tenuous social fabric we’re trying to collectively hold on to.
In this case it’s a name brand product (dishwasher pods) which are only more expensive by a few cents per unit. All the Aldi store branded products are priced affordably.
At this point I do 90% of my grocery shopping at Aldi, it’s the closest thing I’ve got to a decent local option. I’ll even pay slightly more for some of the specific items both they and Dillons have if only so I can avoid giving more money to fucking Kroger.

This is also a form of marketing yourself to the correct audience.
They’re all too busy thinking “what if they could” and nobody stops to ask “what if they should”.
I’m people, does microcenter count?
Again you’re completely right. I’m just saying that when it comes down to it, 99% of folks are not going to host their own system. And in my personal, specific case, I judged the rewards to heavily outweigh the risks, which ended up being correct. YMMV.
Out of my life, I used the video evidence to land her ass in jail and filed for divorce. She managed to claw her way out of the gutter after using crack and becoming a prostitute.
You are correct. But to be totally honest, Wyze offered an affordable cost and a low barrier to entry. It’s a tradeoff that worked out for me, but I get that it’s not the same math for everyone else.
I’ve got several Wyze cams around my house and one inside facing the main living room/kitchen area. I realize it’s an imperfect system with flaws, but at the same time that living room camera is also the reason I was able to file abuse charges against my ex wife. Not a scenario I’d want anyone to deal with, but in my case it turned out to be some of the best money I’ve ever spent.
Places either closed down or dropped so far in quality they are now a shell of their former selves.
