Doesn’t even have adoption yet? They’re skipping a couple of steps on the enshitification ladder here

They are actually selling really well. But sadly, they are selling because you can drill out the 'recording' indicator light and use them to secretly record people to make creepy TikToks.

Something doesn’t add up. According to what the article is saying about Meta’s help article, there is no price tier which allows unlimited conversation mode 720 hours/month. Even the highest paid tier can only get 15 hours.

But the article says this is an on-device feature. So there should be no overhead to Meta at all, aside from them storing the conversations I assume.

Meta's survival is fascinating to me. They dumped money in VR, their AI is not as good as their competitors and now they are dumping money on this glasses thing. They keep on getting caught doing shady things too.

I think it is the shady stuff that earns them money. They cant survive without that. The rest is a corporate hobby, basically.
