Kohler's $600/month toilet camera uses your turds to train AI
Kohler Can Access Data and Pictures from Toilet Camera It Describes as "End-to-End Encrypted": But emails exchanged with Kohler's privacy contact clarified that the other "end" that can decrypt the data is Kohler themselves: "User data is encrypted at rest, when it's stored on the user's mobile phone, toilet attachment, and on our systems.

Disguised in a discreet, curved case, the camera simply attaches to the rim of your toilet. It’s designed to peer into the bowl and analyze what it detects using algorithms to scan for indicators of your hydration and gut health. What’s more, it sends real-time alerts and will notify when blood is detected in the stool, which can be a symptom of more serious medical issues.
In addition, it comes with a magnetic charging pad and wall-mounted remote. While all the health data is end-to-end encrypted, each user can scan their fingerprint on a separate wall-mounted remote to ensure Dekoda is tracking the right person.
While this poop tracking toilet camera sounds like a great health concept in principle, it does come at an expense. Firstly, $600 seems like an eye-watering price to pay for smart toilet tech, and it seems highly unlikely that consumers would be quick to part with such a cost.
Secondly, the Kohler Health insights aren't free either. For instance, one person will cost $6.99 per month, and a family plan of up to five people will set you back $12.99 per month or $130 per year. What’s more, the Kohler Health app is currently only available on iOS, but will be coming to Android soon — which may be limiting.
So the $600 is the initial price with Shitflex subscription of $7 or $13/month.
Now how to force ads into this....

Impressive, but I have also figured out how to do this using an advanced technique I call "looking in the bowl before flushing" and applying cutting edge algorithms like "rating 1-7 on the Bristol stool scale" and "checking if it's a weird color."

I just look before I flush but sure I guess having an automated camera take photos and do who knows what with them also works

Well....shit.
So this is why tech bros want to run server farms in space.

$600 a month for poop pics? What is this a masc group chat?
Kohler has just launched a $600 ‘poop’ camera for your toilet — yes, really
So the $600 is the initial price with Shitflex subscription of $7 or $13/month.
