I guess there is some, but not too much valuable content in spoken personal conversations. Current tech is not there yet, so it would be more costly in money and reputation to build some datacenters for this yet. If the money cost would go order of magnitudes lower they would wrap it in some marketing bullshit like "you can search in your all memories", lot of people would gladly allow it (iirc there was a black mirror episode about a device like this)
I think it won't happen tomorrow or in the near future, my point was they just reposted a 6 years old article without writing about a new and relelevant development in the topic.
Well, I do agree that it's weird to update a five year old article by injecting new content without fully rewriting it. They did update it, they are reporting some stuff that Cox Media Group did in 2024, the backlash to it and the eventual backtracking. But they're not providing version control, so it's hard to know what's new and old in the piece. They probably should have just made a separate follow-up.
Still, you can't be mad at something that isn't happening because you think maybe it will happen some day but not be mad at things that are happening that are worse than the thing that isn't happening. That makes no sense. Why make up a false outrageous scenario and not discuss the real, current more outrageous one?
Incidentally, this whole line of questioning is why I absolutely loathe Black Mirror in both concept and execution. Yeah, speaking of unpopular opinions.
