In salute to geeks: Fart trackers and SmartAss flushes

To mark Geek Pride Day, a day when geek (not Greek) culture is celebrated around the world, Israeli chip maker Mellanox has created a video that’s half promotional, half scatological.

“Thanks to geeks, we have the artificial intelligence revolution of today,” says the video. “Who knows where it will go tomorrow?”

Mellanox, whose InfiniBand hardware is used in high performance computing networks, lists smart products we could be actually using tomorrow, powered by artificial intelligence: SmartAss, a flushing system that tells us what is lacking in our diet, e.g., eat fiber, drink more or use fewer spices; smart shoes that alert us about poop on the streets; FartTrack, AI sensors that point to the source of the offender; and even a “No One Nose” – an AI system that tells you when it is safe to pick your nose.

“Wherever AI will go, one thing is for sure, artificial intelligence needs Mellanox,” the video declares.
