just found out these glasses are not even Augmented Reality. They have neither screens nor projectors. Just cameras, a mic, and bone conduction earphones. The interface is voice control. They are literally only for taking creepshots. So Zuckerberg is staying on-brand.

They're allegedly useful for visually impaired users, but I strongly doubt Zuckerberg's thought of that particular untapped market, or interested in taking advantage of it.
I've already predicted Meta Rayban wearers would be assaulted in the street, but I wouldn't be shocked if visually impaired peeps kept away from them as well - whatever accessibility boons they may grant, it is not worth getting called a creepshotter and/or your ass getting beaten.
(Sidenote: This is the second time I've seen a tech accessibility related shitshow so far - the first was some alt-text drama I ran into three days ago.)

He's going full circle. Now he can upload spy pics of chicks for rating on his new site fA.I.cebook

Its not an intentional use case, but its an easy way to identify people who I should keep far, far away from.
On a wider note, I wouldn't be shocked if we heard of Rapist RayBan wearers getting beaten up or shot in the street - if the torching of Waymos in anti-ICE protests, the widespread vandalism of Cybertrucks, and Luigi Mangione's status as a folk hero are anything to go by, I'd say the conditions are right for cases of outright violence against anyone viewed as supporting the techbros.
EDIT: Un-fucked the finishing sentence, and added a nod to Cybertrucks getting fucked up.

LOL, how could you leave out vandalized Cybertrucks! :)

I’m pretty sure wearable internet access is a future thing, with some gui only the person can see.
But glasses are not it

I know, def needs to be a monocle!

Good HMDs are awesome. What FB has shown off is not. Low-res with spy hardware built in and non-optional is terrible. The EMR (maybe wrong initials) wristbands would be an excellent input interface. But, they seem more interested in more invasive data collection than solving real problems.

Oh like a mobile phone?
limer@lemmy.ml · 2 pts · 1y
better phones

About as creepy as the classic hentai glasses (quite NSFW, obviously, but not full on porno) and not even half as entertaining even if you can stand the creepiness.

With Google Glass you can Ogle Ass… is this anything?
swlabr@awful.systems · 9 pts · 1y
Ah great. So if I don't get the glasses, I don't get raptured and am left behind. If I do get the glasses, I get raptured, everything I'm wearing is left behind, specifically the glasses. So this is a no-win scenario.

ahahahaha, thank you that's perfect

This is all about the surveillance state isn't it?
Amoeba_Girl@awful.systems · 8 pts · 1y
I ... can't actually. What do these things actually do that a phone can't?
Evinceo@awful.systems · 9 pts · 1y
Only things that a hidden camera can do.

Augmented reality for the Google Glass. Not, it turns out, for the Meta Raybans, cos they don't even have screens or projectors!
swlabr@awful.systems · 5 pts · 1y
AR could be great. Though if google glass became widespread, and because google doesn’t know how to do anything else, it would 100% be used for ad space
o7___o7@awful.systems · 3 pts · 1y
What if we did They Live, but in reverse?
V0ldek@awful.systems · 2 pts · 360d
Wait what? So what are those glasses? I thought they were AR glasses? What do they do then.
Amoeba_Girl@awful.systems · 5 pts · 1y
Protect your eyes I guess

So I was thinking about this recently with a colleague and there are two things that I think would be useful:

It’s incredible how much of a spineless coward Zuck is.
He goes all in on virtual reality. Okay… First efforts are apparently by devs who’ve never played a video game in their lives, but they have Oculus and they have a start.
AI fad? He pivots at the drop of a hat. And to his credit (really the researchers'), Llama 1,2,3 and 3.1 were all really cool experimental releases, on a relatively small money and power budget. They have a lot of synergy too, like paying for PyTorch's development and experienced oldschool ML devs.
They have one experimental dud (Llama 4) and mismarket it. The team is disbanded by Zuck to focus on “products” like this weird AI bro shit.
Not even going into licking Trump's boots, licking Democrat's boots, poisoning the well of Facebook and the entire advertising market and the internet…
Like… what a wimp. He couldn’t have less spine if he was 3 inches tall.
