On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a slew of new augmented reality glasses, including what he claimed to be the “first AI glasses with high resolution,” a new $799 version of its Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses that features a tiny screen that’s viewable to the wearer.
But it didn’t take long for the company’s MetaConnect 2025 keynote to descend into chaos. The social media giant’s demos repeatedly failed, leading to awkward stares, deafening silences, and muted laughter.
The poor showing painfully demonstrates that the tech is far from ready, even as companies continue to shove AI into every aspect of our daily lives.

This for sure. Security cameras everywhere, from the time you pull into the parking lot to inside the business, traffic cams, etc.
Difference is that you don’t expect that those will be potentially uploaded to a social media platform with the commentary of the recorder.
They are ussually closed loop as well… so in theory only accessed by the store manager or police. Though, im sure more and more are being piped straight to the cloud for ‘analyzation’
i haven’t been on that website that lets you login to almost any ALPR because it smells like a honeypot to me but y’know.
