AI Bird Feeder Narcissism

For the low price of your remaining dignity, you can now own an AI-powered smart bird feeder that uses facial recognition on local pigeons [1.17]. The expats down in Pescadero are buying these in droves so they can get smartphone push notifications every time a grackle steals their organic millet. It is comforting to know that while humanity burns, we will at least have a highly surveilled, pristine database of every finch in Baja California Sur. I give it five stars out of a crushing sense of despair.
