Just like with the prompt, I'm not thinking right now about what this is for everyone. I want something I can use myself, for myself. I will figure out what I think is appropriate in terms of privacy and social acceptability as I use it, and if I get it wrong that will be on me.

With respect to recording I'll also be thinking about what kinds of uses are responsible. The existence of a recording doesn't mean I have to use it or store it. I honestly can't recall a time when, if I had been continuously recording, I would have used that recording against anyone present. I would expect to be as respectful of the privacy of people I interact with as I am now... I don't recount what people say to me now without considering if that what they said might have been in confidence, without considering how what they said might be interpreted differently by a different audience or out of context, and without passing on my most good faith interpretation of what they said. That's a complicated rule system, but it does actually fire when I recount other people's statements.

But I'll also have to navigate how I use it, understand what things it captures that I don't want it to, and how that affects the people around me.

Also I just want to see what's possible, without pre-censoring what's appropriate before we know how any of this stuff works in practice. I'm willing to take the risk it's all a bad idea and I'll soon think of it as a dead end.
