Kill then with fire.
Can’t build housing or provide reasonably priced healthcare but got endless capital on tech slop to extract data from the wage slaves…
Thanks
Would you prefer housing where they harvest enough data to subsidize the cost of it?
They at the stage where they still pretend the “smart” housing is for your benefit…
All the new “luxury” apts… 🤡
Meta helped fuck over the global economy. Why does Meta think anyone cares about their fucking AR spy glasses at a time when severe global recession is expected to hit?
Meta helped fuck over the global economy.
What?
EDIT: You mean them spending a lot of money on VR stuff without it really generating a return?
No I mean them buying a seat at Trump’s inauguration, rolling back DEI commitments / departments, ushering in AI to lay off thousands, and all the privacy / security issues they already do.
Also creating a platform perfectly designed for spreading false information and also helping genocide in certain countries
Great point. There’s a reason that boomers are intractably captured by Facebook.
And turning social media into a propaganda platform.
Until and unless a patch is provided to remove the need for meta I see no point in these glasses.
Even then, you know that these glasses are going to be priced in such a way that is subsidized by data harvesting somehow.
A free and open firmware hack would make them way more interesting
Apple ain’t getting a lot of credibility given “AI” still hasn’t launched yet(?)
isn’t that a good thing? i am tired of llms being forced into everything
apple has implemented junk AI (image playground, useless notification summaries, etc) while delaying the one thing (imo) AI could actually help them with - integration with siri.
It’s unfortunately inevitably coming. But we’re allowed to laugh at the disconnect between their marketing and product department.
Google Glass seeing all the new AR glasses: “Man, they just weren’t ready for me yet…”
Bloomberg has shared reports from unnamed insiders that the device, codenamed Hypernova, is expected to launch later this year and will feature a monocular design, as in it will use only one display rather than a pair of screens – two details we’ve already heard.
This single panel would sit in the lower-right corner of the right lens, so it should allow you conveniently see information by looking down without obscuring your vision greatly.
It sounds like they’re kinda trying to compete with the watch market or something. Like, not trying to display something that you’d spend your whole time looking at, or even a virtual overlay, but just some status information that you can glance at without being super-obvious about it.
They also have cameras. I don’t totally get the use case for cameras plus single screen on lens. I guess maybe you could take a picture of someone’s face, upload the photo to Meta, do facial recognition on it, and then have personal details sent back to the screen at the bottom of your right eye. Like, maybe that’d be useful for people who don’t want to be in a position of awkwardly forgetting names or security personnel or something.
EDIT: Or maybe people who want to photograph people without it being obvious that they’re doing so, and want to have some kind of status display that they can use to see what their camera is doing?
Just seems like an odd combination of features.
EDIT2: Not to mention whatever they’re paying for the Ray-Ban branding, so they’re probably not pushing for a really price-sensitive use case.
So it’s Google Glass.
That’s literally just Google Glass.
Who would even want that?
This is much more innovative than Google Glass, it’s now in the bottom right corner. That’s what 13 years of innovation looks like. /s
The cameras and screen are for two different purposes.
The cameras do what they already do, act like an action camera type thing giving you POV recordings and live streams.
The display is basically going to do what the old Google glass did. Give you heads up notifications, navigation markers, potentially some game integration. Basically what a smart watch does now.
It’s still Facebook and I’m still not giving them a camera and mic on my face.
