conflicted. everytime i want to be fully against it, i’m faced with genuinely good use cases.

like the meta spy glasses are actually very useful for someone who’s visually impaired. they can describe stuff and read text to you, and the “be my eyes” thing is a great idea.

DEFINITELY doesn’t need to just exist as a product that anyone can buy tho.

    You can find useful applications for nearly everything, but that is not how it's being used 99 % of the time. In the example of the Meta lenses, I guarantee you the majority of people who buy those are not doing so as an a11y tool.

    If our society wasn't being strip mined for profit by fascists, this would be a different discussion
