“Machine Gun” by Jimi Hendrix is one of those solos that will still be studied a thousand years from now.

🦔 Google Home is rolling out "Live Search," which lets Gemini describe what's happening on your camera feeds in real time. Instead of just searching past recordings, you can now ask things like "Hey Google, is there a car in the driveway?" or "Is Liam wearing his helmet?" The feature requires a Google Home Premium subscription at $20/month. My Take We've gone from smart home cameras that record footage to AI that watches and interprets everything in real time. The convenience examples are always benign, checking if your kid has a helmet on or if there's a package at the door. But you're now feeding continuous live video of your home to Google's servers so an AI can analyze it on demand. Who asked for this? I don't think most people paying $20/month are thinking about what they're actually signing up for. You're building a detailed behavioral profile of your household, when you leave, who visits, what's happening in each room, and trusting Google to keep that data safe and use it responsibly forever. We've seen how these companies treat user data. It gets breached, it gets sold, it gets used in ways nobody agreed to when they clicked accept. The product is always framed as convenience though, while the business model is always surveillance. Hedgie🤗
