    left behind

    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.

    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.

    I’m sure you can think of hypothetical use cases for Google Glass and Meta AI RayBans.

    I … can’t actually. What do these things actually do that a phone can’t?

    I’m sure you can think of hypothetical use cases for Google Glass and Meta AI RayBans. But these alleged non-creepshot use cases already failed to keep Google Glass alive. I predict they won’t be enough to keep Meta AI RayBans alive.

    Its not an intentional use case, but its an easy way to identify people who I should keep far, far away from.

    It turns out normal people really do not like this stuff, and I doubt the public image of tech bros has improved between 2014 and 2025. So have fun out there with your public pariah glasses. If you just get strong words, count yourself lucky.

    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.

    I’m pretty sure wearable internet access is a future thing, with some gui only the person can see.

    But glasses are not it
