🚨BREAKING: Apple’s next AirPods will have cameras built into them.
Not for photography. The cameras are designed to feed visual information directly to Siri, turning your earbuds into an eyes-on AI assistant that understands what is in front of you.
Point them at your fridge and ask what to cook. Walk into a room and ask what you are looking at. Siri sees what you see.
A privacy LED will light up whenever visual data is being transmitted, so there is always a visible signal when the cameras are active.
Enhanced Siri arrives in September. Production on the camera AirPods is already underway.

We didn’t have “HR” when building Palantir, for similar reasons - I avoided Ryan’s mistake.
And when we needed some PeopleOps, we hired technical leaders.
Going into the vast majority of companies and firing most of their HR and Marketing departments would tend to create value!
