Unbox Therapy's 'It Remembers Everything...' turns the comments to privacy

It Remembers Everything...
Unbox Therapy posted "It Remembers Everything..." on Monday, and its first day was modest by the channel's standards: just under 50,000 views. Two days later it is past half a million, and the pace has grown many times over. For a video that started that slowly, the turn is unusual. The channel as a whole is running a little under its normal pace, and so are some of the best-known tech channels near its size.
The title keeps its subject vague, but the comments fill it in. Viewers describe a small wearable that records the conversations around it and turns them into something its owner can look up later, the kind of AI memory aid that has become its own corner of the gadget world. One viewer compares it with Plaud, another recording device. Several pick up on Lew calling it almost hidden, and point out that this is exactly what bothers them.
Privacy is the main subject in the comments. People ask who else can reach the recordings and transcripts, who the device is actually for, and whether secretly recording other people is acceptable at all. Not everyone is alarmed. One viewer notes that the phone in their pocket already has a microphone. Another imagines the same idea paired with AR glasses, giving deaf and hard-of-hearing people live captions of whoever is speaking. Then there are the jokes, including one about a spouse who already remembers everything.
It is a change of pace from the channel's September of iPhone 18 unboxings, a 100-inch TV and a smart mattress, and a reminder that Lew's best-known format still works: put a strange new object on the desk and let the audience decide what they think of it.

Rip privacy.
@ak101farhanSee it on YouTubebut..... the phone already has a microphone... and it already records everything I say without my consent! 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@dogzerSee it on YouTubeSo I don’t agree with this implementation, but I think this would be a pretty cool idea combined with a pair of AR glasses for people deaf/hard-of-hearing to have captions at all times with speaking people. Wish companies would stop storing and stealing data to just see what this kind of tech could really do for people.
@legitlegend666See it on YouTubeSmart enough to remember but not smart enough to keep my secrets private 😂😢😮
