- Apple Watch Series 12 ships Audio Intelligence features Live Rewind (transcripts of the past 15 seconds) and Siri Recap (daily conversation summaries), which Apple says do not record audio.
- Google wearables lead Sandeep Waraich has pitched smart-glasses cameras that process visual data via AI but save no footage, framing cameras as mere image sensors.

Well, it took 17 hours to get to SF for Meta Connect so y’all can have this story I wrote with @miasato.bsky.social @haydenfield.bsky.social and @laurenfeiner.bsky.social, as a treat. tinyurl.com/yu6jcy9b
This week in Optimizer, a Meta Connect themed issue. Would a spoonful of kawaii cute help the AI pill go down? Maybe not fully but perhaps you might feel less alarmed if Jolly — the aptly named Muse AI mascot — was the one asking for your health data. tinyurl.com/ba5jf9a4

It's been over 24 hours so I can say this now. The absolute last place that any AI should be deployed is fielding angry calls when your flight is cancelled. Did I, at some point Monday, scream into my phone at Newark "SHUT UP YOU STUPID AI AND GIVE ME A HUMAN, A HUMAN!!!!" Yes.
Today in stoopid Health AI testing, the AI assistant for a stoopid expensive scale set my weight goal to 282 pounds because I said I’m trying to MAINTAIN MY WEIGHT while building muscle. That’s over 150 pounds heavier than I currently am.
