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.
That's irrelevant because their AI was never a product they sold.

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.
Thats a good candidate for a closed fist falling at non-walking speeds at somebody's ugly face. Do that around my kids and you are automatically a pedo that will get adequate treatment. Also, where I live its against the law to record people without their consent so if I would be feeling very nice I would just hold you against the ground till cops come. You wear them = you film with them. Get your shit together kids,…
Or is it just that we haven't seen Scoble using these in the shower? :-D [1]

I think it is the shady stuff that earns them money. They cant survive without that. The rest is a corporate hobby, basically.
i think honestly it’s the opposite. it still confuses me why meta invested so much in their pointless experiments (think any of their AR ventures) when their main source of revenue was, and continues to be, their boring advertising on consumer apps

That is where the ugly shady stuff is.
> AR ventures
That is the corporate hobby stuff.
Mild tangent: are there smart glasses out there without camera, without needing internet access, and with custom app support? All my neck and back want is a way for me to look up instead of down whenever I'm bored and smart glasses would be one possible solution for that.
Doesn’t even have adoption yet? They’re skipping a couple of steps on the enshitification ladder here

They're selling because people love to record other people, publicly, without shame. It's kind of like a go-pro, is the use case for these.
The creepers exist but they're not enough people to build a business around.

It’s one thing to make a passionate speech on the internet. It is another thing to be charged with battery and assault.
