Hmmm. Clever and a little spooky!

I enjoyed playing with this. Wild how much it knows.
hspeiser•30m ago
thats pretty creepy. I find it unnerving that they know exactly where my cursor is.
rolph•21m ago
would be creepiest if your cursor moved somewhere related to what you were saying outloud.

the capability is there, your local hardware determines how seamless it would be.

So does every advertiser and data broker in the world
slopinthebag•15m ago
huh? javascript can see the x,y coordinates, so many things would be impossible without that, how is that unnerving?

"Oh man, Call of Duty can read my exact mouse coordinates, how unnerving" said nobody ever...

This demonstrates a surprising lack of empathy.

It’s unnerving because people don’t like being watched.

Heads up: there's audio. It does add something.

I am not sure what I am looking at. It's telling me things which I expect any website to know via basic javascript. What am I missing?

I'm getting a PR_END_OF_FILE_ERROR when I try to open the page in Firefox on Linux.

This is a great POC about how you give up privacy just using the web. This data is bought and sold and more and used against you every day

Nice! It shouted "Bot" when I ran this in the console

for (let i = 0; i < 1000; i++) { document.querySelector(".button")?.click(); }

I've always added analytics scripts on websites I worked on. It was second nature for me. Then when I got my own start up, I didn't just add regular analytics but one that tracks mouse movements so you can watch sessions back like a video [0].

I told a friend about my start up and she jumped on it immediately. I opened the tool and watched her interaction. Then I told her "oh so you opened the dev tools" She immediately ended the session. "How did you know? That's creepy". It was the first time I've actually felt like these tools invade privacy.

Yeah, we include it in our terms and condition and privacy page, but I don't think users truly grasp how those tools work. I understand that all analytics tools provide this feature now, but its always creepy to know someone can watch what you are doing.

Everyone knows stores have security cameras. But if you called them up and said 'I saw you pick up the chips' they wouldnt have a good feeling.

Everyone understands websites use analytics and tracking, but people dont want to be reminded of it. Which is why people hate those FB ads which exactly match what you searched for 24 hours ago.

I think there's a very interesting duality forming around privacy. It seems like most people don't really care if they're being filmed, or if their data is being slurped up six ways from Sunday, as long as its all going through automated systems. But it soon as it feels like an actual person is looking, it's creepy.

This brings me back to the glory days of StumbleUpon. Highly recommend.
briandw•14m ago
Very fun, I enjoyed seeing what it would react to.

Looks like it got HN’d to death

I made something very similar 2 weeks ago, re the upcoming OpenAI phone.
