I've long said I'd prefer something like this, where I can read info presented on glasses.

We already have headsets for this kind of functionality.

Not that I'll be buying these, because, well, Meta and all that jazz. Just I find it a better concept overall.

😂 I had the same thought. Meta, king of dark patterns and crowd manipulation.

Can it introduce meta-free glasses?

I'm guessing they are still selling the camera glasses and they only released this to give plausible deniability to the owners of their other glasses.

Now the person recording you in the bathroom will just say it's the kind without the camera even if you can see it clearly.

Too late

The ones that record everything they hear permanently to Meta servers, geolocated with time stamps, and convert it to searchable text? Connected to the user's account, with IDs of all nearby bluetooth, WiFi and cell data connections?

Yeah, that's totally better, I see no problem with these.

That has always been obvious to anyone with two functioning brain cells. But the broligarchs have detached themselves from reality long ago. Can't wait for reality to come and bite them in the ass.

Just want to remind everyone that this exist https://github.com/yjeanrenaud/yj_nearbyglasses/

You mean an extra microphone you carry around on you?

Is it anything like the Apple brooch?

OK, fine. New TikTok challenge:

• Each Meta pendant you grab is worth 5 points
• Each Meta glasses you grab is worth 2 points

Go!

Same here. I never had a Facebook account but all I know is that the 3 billion (3 fucking billion users!) use it to talk to their family (instead of using a phone), watch pretty pictures, and read fake news. What's the fucking point?

In April, Meta explained some of the calculus behind its shifting financials, noting that it was increasing 2026 capital expenditures to between $125 billion and $145 billion.

Personnel costs are a rounding error compared to this shit. If they spend $125B instead of $145B and spent the savings on the 8,000 they just fired, they'd each make $2.5 million.

You’re forgetting how many people’s private information he’s monetized.

I hope he falls ass first into a wood chipper

I think it's still a shameful fact about our society that a garbage company like Meta, which produces nothing of actual value and is deepeinto shitty practices, could be valuable at all, let alone be a tech giant

Thanks for the money, chumps! Toodles!

He means “Failure is certain”

So…you’re saying there’s a chance?

True

Meta monetizing Instagram with paid tiers is not innovation. It is the same move every dying social network makes: extract more money from the users who stayed after the interesting people left. The platform peaked when it was free and started declining the moment it figured out how to monetize attention at scale.

Soooo glad I just deleted my ig. The only meta thing I have is Facebook and I only use that bc all my boomer family members do.

Imagine paying an advertising company

Welp, it was fun while it lasted.
