De-Pendant
Welcome to an end-of-week edition of Unmade.
Today: I tried wearing the Pendant AI device for a fortnight. It was an unsettling experience but perhaps a glimpse of a new journalism tool. Plus, Seven West Media shares have now jumped 20% in a week.

That pendant wouldn’t make it into my jewellery box Tim ! Good read though 🤗
Very interesting Tim. Yes, it has purposes. But given that it can hear and record everything around it does not mean that each micro-second or audio is “a purpose”.
I’ve been thinking about it. No, I would never obtain such devices as Pendants as it is secretly pervasive.
But I can see a potential positive. So how about developing a “Piss-off Pendant” that blocks the discussions that include you. I could see that would be a ‘product of selection’ and could have great attention from people who don’t want to be secretly recorded. Could make a fortune!
