    Zuckerberg can keep his dystopian digital world and shove it. My digital world is free of surveillance and doesn’t require AI anything - let alone glasses.

      My digital world is free of surveillance

      I dig the sentiment, but here you are posting via ActivityPub which by its very design is not going to be free of surveillance. Corporations are scarfing our comments up to train their shitty LLMs.

      You probably also send other people emails and text, after which you no longer control what happens with your message.

        Training LLMs is not surveillance. As long as the platform doesn’t need to know who I am I’m good.

        (Though I wish it wasn’t used by capitalists for anything, obviously)

    I don’t want an advantage. I want to sit on a log in the forest, listen to the birds chirp, and eat snacks.

    The glasses let users listen to music, take photos or videos, and ask Meta AI questions…

    so… there is no benefit to wearing them.

    i would love a new technology that does something groundbreaking (though only if it has an open source equivalent; im not buying anything from facebook), but this doesnt seem like it.

      There’s hardly anything left. Anything developed now is for BUSINESS LINE GO UP ADD MORE FEATURES because its all been done, we have perfected computing 15 years ago. All this is just slop features for the rich to get richer off our data. Every single new tech “innovation” is for surveillance and capitalism/fascism.

      Really the iPhone was the last actual innovative tech thing to be “invented”. The only thing left now is better energy production, and maybe health advances.

        I agree tech bro wise completely. But there’s all sorts of Engineering strides to come still. Plenty we don’t yet know about.

        But computing has been a solved problem for many years on all but the most intense levels. Since then silicon valley has been desperately trying to hang on to their former glory days like a has-been football player in his 50s

      Something tells me that Meta’s smart glasses won’t have a billboard, signage and poster blocking feature…

      I did mention one possible use and people freaked out. Imagine an AR overlay where you’re at a gala or business function and you can pull up people’s names or LI profile to better know them when chatting. Or say at a sportsball game where it could give you stats of the people on the field as they’re playing (sports nerds love that sort of shit). There are many uses for AR but I don’t think this meta approach is even close to correct.

    Kiss your privacy goodbye when someone with these on looks at you if you’re not wearing a mask, you’ve just been geolocated.

    Also as soon as Apple copies this you are going to see them everywhere in the West, the only thing holding it back now is no one cares about a Meta product.

    The world is going to be so boring when everyone is walking around with these things, even more oblivious and in their own worlds, with all the answers right there. No need to even speak to anyone anymore except for small talk and who likes that? I’m not going to be a walking surveillance robot which is what I really feel is the end game with this crap, zero privacy.
