The washing machine with integrated AI broke my brain. This must be the most useless thing I’ve ever encountered in my entire life.
Not just ai it could also make phone calls

They better have had traffic cones on their heads. The mental image that creates is quite funny with the contrast to the serious businesmen trying to sell AI one booth over.

The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.
Ok now that’s cool. Since it’s often all doom and gloom here, celebrating good tech is a nice change :)
Since VLC is open source, can we expect this AI subtitle generator as a separate product that could be used in, say, jellyfin?
Apparently there’s a pluggin for that already: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/discussions/6105
Oh actually not specifically for that, but sounds like it would be possible, maybe make a feature request for it once the vlc ones source is available.
The smart crib seems particularly dystopian to me. We don’t even need to wait for children to develop enough fine-motor functions to make use of smartphones or tablets, we can start collecting data on them before they even utter their first word!
How long before the smart cribs have ParentAI attached to them? Let the computer raise your child!
We’re already at least one generation into womb to tomb data collection.
A tomb? In this economy? 😂
Best I can do is unceremoniously flop your limp corpse on the pile and sprinkle a little lye on it.
