Surely surely there are apps that use AI to watch you while you do at-home pilates and tell you if you are doing it wrong, need to suck in that bit or straighten that bit?
Old news framed as something fresh. That "happened in April" may as well read "happened 2 years ago" and is like saying someone was caught jay walking.
Guess this will become common now. I used Claude to write a small application to monitor free appointments for driving license renewal at my DMV. Instead of waiting 6 months I was able to get an appointment within a few days.
Lately, anytime I want to do anything, AI from Anthropic and OpenAI gets in the way; even simply putting a logo where watermarks from free services exist is now impossible.
Every online service there is is getting cracked and its user data downloaded without consequences (for the service, that is. Users get their identities stolen). Maybe the onslaught of the bots will finally make safety a serious concern.

I guess they also must've realized that, given that the bbc interview was declined. So good on them I guess.
I am off to DeepSeek Flash now.
