no we fucking wont because nobody but the dumbest motherfuckers on earth who have disposable income are gonna buy them. what are we going to be disadvantaged at? we’re going to be able to actually use our eyeballs and not have zuckerberg feed us VR ads every 30 seconds
this stupid pig isnt in any governmental position so all i gotta say is i hope someone stabs him or blows his stupid ass up. worthless fucking idiot
We’ll be at the disadvantage of Nazis and palantir.
once nazis get widespread VR they’re going to get lost in the gooniverse and spend 24/7 jerking off to nazi catgirl porn
Right, like I was paranoid over facial recognition and Whatsapp when meta bought it.
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)
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.
Something tells me that Meta’s smart glasses won’t have a billboard, signage and poster blocking feature…
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
I’d actually prefer to see Godot games/apps for cardboard developed, now that’s so easy to do it
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.
Metaverse? Smart Glasses? Didn’t this nonsense come and go ten years ago?
“Anyone who’s not in the metaverse will be at a disadvantage in the future”
-Zuck, a while back, probably.
Pass
I’m all for wearables if I can have battery that last a week, a month else it is just nonsense.
This is assuming that people get advantage from knowledge, expertise, and competency. In reality advantage comes from conforming to social norms, connections/nepotism/networking, race/class/sexuality, being able bodied and neurotypical, and having a personality that lends itself towards being organized, goal oriented, routine oriented, and more easily tolerating drudgery.
People aren’t going to do this because social connections give more power than knowledge and people are weirded out by this shit. What might actually happen is that certain employers may force their employees to wear similar technology for some reason.
for some reason
to increase employee productivity, we are now using computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) to measure the flow rate of your piss and shit, which will allow us to better synergize with our employees by helping them manage their restroom breaks more efficiently.
Ok grok, give my boss big badonkadonks
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?
I have perfect eye sight, can they make a buttplug version?
I always remember this strip
He can go fuck himself in his own metaverse if that hasn’t been shut down yet.
