    Paying $600 plus a subscription for a poo camera is a bit embarrassing in itself.

    While I'm sure this theoretically could be 100% device side and handled only in encrypted format on the servers, that would be a gigantic pain in the arse (heh). At least, on-device inference is going to be a bit crap (heh) for some time. Since anyone gullible enough to think this was a good buy is probably up to their neck in 419 scams already, telling them "nah yeah it's E2EE, it's fine bro trust us" should cover it.

    People who think this though probably aren't numerous and aren't going to be customers anyway (but I'm sure AI Rate My Dump is or will be a YC thing eventually).

    "E2EE" == "There's no way you'd trust us with this shit in plaintext"
