Maybe get one for my Parents at Xmas.

Flat batteries by Boxing Day.

The Themis will emit irritating sounds when it detects offensive speech has been said around it
Zinah Issa, who unveiled the device in Dubai, told The Telegraph: 'Through the use of speech recognition and sound sensors we were able to program Themis to detect offensive terms – racial slurs, offensive jokes – through the microphone.

'Extremely bothersome alarms last approximately two minutes, after which Themis turns off, allowing an open, understanding discussion among people on the possible trigger matter and the potential reasons behind Themis's activation'.

I'm sceptical that this device is "being trialled for use in classrooms and universities to 'moderate' debate". Which classrooms and universities? It also makes a nonsense of the right wing media claim that teaching is full of lefties, if it is why would these "political correctness" devices be needed?

It's a great way to get people on the right annoyed (the Telegraph saying "the thought police have arrived" but I don't think we'll ever see these outside of the Global Grad Show.

Great idea. I can't imagine this being a welcome gift for disruptive cunts at all.

i wonder what other capture capabilities it has and how long the retention period is?

can't imagine there would be any potential benefit in using this information to build a model of known voice fingerprints in an environment essentially everyone goes to.

Looks a bit like one of them air freshener things.

If Mrs TTT gets one in our shitter I wouldn't want to be at the listening end.

Obviously not trialled in Glasgow

Take one to a football match and see if it explodes. The Everton fans among you could plant one in the Gwladys Street End. Make sure Tom Davies is playing for added screaming.

They also use three seashells in Dubai.

Separate device for Glasgow that emits an alarm when something offensive isn't said
