Last time humanity tried something like that, they were babbling about some sort of tower and God was like super pissed about it.

Jethro could have used some of those when he was wanting to be a 00 spy.

We're all going to die trusting every last aspect of our daily lives to technology conglomerates.

I know we are way past this point, but I find it funny that people are OK with devices that record us in the open now to “translate” languages.
You have to do a specific touch for them to "work", but you aren't wrong.
My phone gets a lot of suspicious ads for things I talked about but never typed into my phone

yeah, Apple is just adding something that multiple brands of earbuds have been able to do for a few years. It's interesting to me how different technology makes different people feel. For some people, this is space-age Star Trek stuff.
I rememer back in 2013 going to San Francisco, putting on a pair of Google Glass, and watching it real-time translate different languages in the physical world onto the glass right in front of my eye. My mind was completely blown. This just feels like a natural iteration of that idea.
Put those two together, and people would never have a language barrier again. You could walk around and see every printed word in the world in your native language, and then have induction speakers on the same pair of glasses that translates every spoken word into your native language in real-time.
The fact that this exists is crazy. The fact that a lot of people are "meh" about it is even more insane.

Once that picture of Zuckerberg came out with the electrical tape over his laptop camera, I knew those conspiracy theorists were right about that one. At this point, if it is connected to something via bluetooth, i'm already assuming it is able to be listened into and monitored. We are well past the point of no return.

Meta Glasses do that now and are widely available, but the languages are pretty limited (essentially the first few that Apple will be doing)

I want it to have Arabic and other languages of terror. Those frickers are the ones I want to k own what they’re saying on the down low.

Will be fun eavesdropping on all the people having foreign conversations thinking Americans can’t understand

I'm going to asia in the near future, if those languages are available I am getting these for that

This is the route to having everyone in the world speaking syndicate standard.
Global connectivity and technology are great but it's eventually going to homogenize the entire world at the rate we're headed. We're going to end up like them southpark race-less people from the future.

Ok neat what is your alternative to things like this
"We shouldn't make it easier to communicate with each other?"

It's just wild to me that this technology has existed in real-world applications for over a decade. Sure, it's evolved and gotten better. But, it's wild that this has been around for so long.
Y'all remember Babelfish? That came out in 1997 and offered free web based translations way back then. Even crazier when you realize that the military was using this type of translation on computers back in the 60s. The first real-time vocal translation system that we know about was created in 1991 by AT&T. Skype Translate did real-time video language translations in 2014.
Audio translations like this started back in the 90s, though with significant delays. It wasn't until 2010 that Google Translate started doing the audio translations with a second delay or so. Nearer to real time.
I just think it's crazy how some people are acting like this is nothing, and others think it was just invented. Google Buds have had this technology since 2017. But, it's still extraordinary.
