Technology

It'll be like Ghost in the Shell, but not cool or cyberpunky.

Rich man who had [stole] one good idea desperately tries to sell his next stupid product.

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.

That's exactly what someone selling AI glasses would say

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

Go zuck yourself fuckerberg

Zuck says a lot of things. Reprinting his sales pitches as news is a disservice.

This the cognitive disadvantage you're speaking of?

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.

"Anyone who's not in the metaverse will be at a disadvantage in the future"

-Zuck, a while back, probably.

I always remember this strip

Going by the thumbnail, it looks like an ad from MAD magazine for spy glasses.

Oh wait…

"Gargoyles represent the embarrassing side of the Central Intelligence Corporation. Instead of using laptops, they wear their computers on their bodies, broken up into separate modules that hang on the waist, on the back, on the headset. They serve as human surveillance devices, recording everything that happens around them. Nothing looks stupider; these getups are the modern-day equivalent of the slide-rule scabbard or the calculator pouch on the belt, marking the user as belonging to a class that is at once above and far below human society. They are a boon to Hiro because they embody the worst stereotype of the CIC stringer. They draw all of the attention. The payoff for this self-imposed ostracism is that you can be in the Metaverse all the time, and gather intelligence all the time."

Metaverse? Smart Glasses? Didn't this nonsense come and go ten years ago?

And people without a million dollars in the bank will be disadvantaged in the future too, but here we are.

Something something, Sugarmountain tries to push a project again that will probably fail, like so many before.

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.

Not just a disadvantage, a cognitive disadvantage. @grok is this true?????????? my critical thinking skills have atrophied to nothing now that i rely on ai, i need u gronk

I'd actually prefer to see Godot games/apps for cardboard developed, now that's so easy to do it

Remind me how many hot dinners he could have fed starving children instead of funding the Metaverse project?

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.

I don't know. Not getting punched in the face has it's advantages.

Get fucked, Zuck.

I have perfect eye sight, can they make a buttplug version?

Pass

I recently saw someone post that the stuff Zuck comes up with shows has no friends. I'm starting to believe that to be true.

Is not being shoved ads in my face a disadvantage?

I'll be fine without your stupid glasses douche bag, thanks anyway

(slaps forehead) Of course! People without AI glasses will miss out on all those free knuckle sandwiches that people with AI glasses will be offered everywhere they go!

And why should anyone care what he says?

What the hell does he know about real life and disadvantages? I’ll be without them for life. At least anything Meta or the like have a hand in. Poor me. 😄

Is that because of the free surgery he's going to give everyone who wears his obnoxious AI glasses and then subsequently gets punched in the face? Is that why we're going to be at a disadvantage, Mark?

Would be a shame if someone kill him

/s

It would t be a shame.

if they are cheap , have unloackable bootloader , and does not required any propitiatory service like systemmd to run specific apps then i am all for it and if they will be that good i dont mind replacing the androids with this if the batteries dont blast out of nowhere

So he's saying one day it may make sense to get one? Great sales pitch.

I’m all for wearables if I can have battery that last a week, a month else it is just nonsense.
