Big tech companies would like us to believe AI and smart tools are a panacea for all their woes, but the reality is these companies are powered by a hidden army of human beings whose job it is to make Big Tech’s platforms function as advertised – and keep their gigantic profits flowing in. The pay is pennies or less per task.

Often pressed for time, they want to know the nature of the crisis, what their role is in mitigating it, and what the price tag is – for both fixing it and ignoring it.

So with the right gear and this sensor, you could set up an automation that — as long as no one is within a pre-defined sensor zone, like a bed — opens the blinds at a certain time.

Google has a vision for the smart home of tomorrow and it’s based on ambient computing that relies on the interpretation of human movement and intent. That’s especially true when you consider the three dimensions of human movement around computing devices, which ATAP defines as: Proximity (distance between you and the device).

Fossil fuel companies lied for decades about climate change, and humanity is paying the price. Humanity ultimately wasted precious decades arguing about whether global warming was real rather than defusing the threat. It’s long past time to right these wrongs.
