- rolph 4mo agowould 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.
- nomel 4mo agoI made something related to this with whisper. It would just constantly listen and periodically do a search to find a picture/video/gif from the web, relevant to what you're talking about, and show it.

- sneak 4mo agoThis demonstrates a surprising lack of empathy. It’s unnerving because people don’t like being watched.

- raincole 4mo agoHN comments really can't beat the spectrum stereotypes... But seriously, the parent comment isn't saying the technical fact a browser can see your cursor's coordinate is unnerving. They're saying the experience of being reminded of this fact is unnerving. Technically, every time you take a bus ride the driver can just decide to crash the vehicle and kill the passengers and himself. This fact itself isn't unnerving -- it's just how buses work. But if there were a poster on the bus reminding passengers of that, that'd be quite unnerving.
