Early attempts at making dedicated hardware to house artificial intelligence smarts have been criticized as, well, a bit rubbish. But here’s an AI gadget-in-the-making that’s all about rubbish, literally: Finnish startup Binit is applying large language models’ (LLMs) image processing capabilities to tracking household trash.
why on gods green earth you need llm to do image recognition, and to just analyze your trash, not even sort it, what is this shit
Because that's how you get big investors on board before you develop nothing, advertise how you have big investors and get yourself acquired before people realise you've been spewing more trash verbally than your product can even recycle.
Yes, let's run a giant server that wastes energy so people can throw away their trash in the right bin (somehow), only for that trash to then not be recycled properly later regardless. Great business model, guys!
Sure, I want everything I toss away tracked and posted up on the cloud. More big brother fuckery.
Basic analytics will be free but it’s intending to introduce premium features via subscription.
Nickled and dimed by a thousand subscriptions... Seriously who would want this? Who is going to pay to have their trash monitored by some data company?
