Joachim I think you need to refer to yourself as British from now on. You have lived here long enough to develop a strong core of British scepticism 😁

I even have British citizenship. But you can take a German out of Germany, but you can't take Germany out of the German...

"Or how about a pillow linked to an app that uses sensors and AI to wake you up when you start snoring? It’s yours for $1,000."

Yeah, this is definitely overpriced hype. I already have somebody who does this for me (although a little less grumbling would be welcome).

Real AI would wake me up before I start snoring.

When the hype reaches toothbrushes and pillows, we have nowhere to run. I will stick with my regular electronic brush and pillow.

Hype is getting ahead of reality!

The actual use cases of AI will come, but we have to overcome the hype first. However, there is a good chance that we will create distrust about AI in people when things do not work, as some companies have already done with Rabbit r1 and Humane AI devices.

The Capella parenting app....

"Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?" is the twenty-fourth and final episode of the third season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.

In the episode, Homer is awarded US$2,000 in compensation after radiation from the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant causes him to become sterile. Homer's half-brother, Herb, now poor and homeless, hatches a plan to regain his wealth. Homer loans him $2,000 to develop a new product that translates baby babbling into speech that parents can understand. Herb's invention is hugely successful, allowing him to regain his fortune.
