Apologies if the irony of the headline is not apparent. I suppose you need to know of the content creator to know it's very tongue in cheek.
You absolutely do not need any of these right now (or probably ever).

to those who don't already know Fireship, go check this guy out !
he's hilarious, and absolutely dunking on the dumbest trends of the tech industry
The internet is truly dead. People can't recognize sarcasm anymore. Fireship should have added the /s at the end of his title.
Give us the damn list and not this bullshit YT link with no other info
The list was in the description of the video, but there's no need to watch the video if you don't feel like consuming video right now.
Iit's a pretty humorous look at some of the more "out there" products at CES and I feel the enjoyment is lost in text but I know what you mean - not everyone has time for every video that's posted.
Also I didn't really realise the video title was clickbaity. I just see "Fireship" and I watch.
which means you’ll never have to slow down for a speed bump ever again
That one got me laughing

Don't need any of them which is good because it saved me having to watch some shitty YouTube vid.
99% AI bullshit not needed then.
Yep, that's the joke that this AI summary doesn't capture too well. Pretty funny, given your comment - though I guess the humour is a little deadpan.
you need right now
Consumerism has lost me... and who the fuck wants a "smart" baby monitor? Creepy.
Edit: iFixit gave that baby monitor the worst in privacy award
Yeah there is some nightmare fuel out there about online baby monitors:

Yeah, I know shitting on "cloud" products has already been done many times before, but you can't stress enough how untrustworthy these are.
What if instead of funding all this AI bullshit, we had put this money towards universal healthcare in the US, or creating housing for displaced people in Africa?
