The big “From Meta” at the bottom of the splash screen doesn’t tip people off?

I suspect it’s more that they don’t know who Meta is and because it’s meaningless they don’t link the “From Meta” between the two apps, if they even use both of them.

The inability of most people to notice 11 fingers should have adjusted our estimate of the average person's attention to detail.

It's more like, Meta gets people continuously wrong, like they did with metaverse. I dont think people like walking around with a teleprompter. At least when using a phone it's obvious what they are doing, and that's respectful. Plus, i dunno, i hate glasses that's why i did LASIK and it was the best decision ever.

There's plenty of people who don't mind using their phone in a socially disrespectful way. Maybe they got it right.

Imagine talking to a "glasshole" for the first time. The "glasshole" is being able to do facial recognition while talking to you, and see a ton if info about you before you've been able to introduce yourself. What could possibly go wrong?

I've done live demos of AI. Even with the same queries, I got a different answers than my 4 previous practice attempts. My demos keep me on my toes and I try to limit the scope much more now. (I didn't have control over temperature settings.)

It looks like true 0-temperature (i.e. determinism) will happen. Here's some good context: https://thinkingmachines.ai/blog/defeating-nondeterminism-in...

But 0 temp is much less "Creative" and may not be conducive to showing off the AI's latest tricks

We all love to say this, but everyone forgets: Apple has never beaten competitors by being the first – they’ve beaten them by being the best. Personal computers? Apple wasn’t first. Smartphones with screens? Apple wasn’t first. Tablets? Not first by a mile. True Wireless Earbuds? Nope, not at all first. Smartwatches? Hell no, not first. And yet, Apple’s a category leader in every single one of these areas. I don’t th…

Wat. Vision Pro was a complete flop, Airpods aren't the best on the market, Apple Watch isn't the best on the market

i love love my airpods pro. curious what is better than those?

Some very negative comments here... Regardless of personal thoughts about Meta and AR tech, it's undeniable that these are interesting and have some cool tech.

The live captioning with directional audio seems like it could be a huge win for people who are hard of hearing, especially given the display is invisible so is much more natural to use in real life than say a smart phone or a VR headset with passthrough.

Another thing that's cool is the neural band. It looks like it's a more robust and flexible implementation of what Apple is doing with hand tracking.

But generally the idea that you can interact with the glasses silently with your hands to your side while wearing what effectively looks like a normal pair of glasses is incredible. I think this this is the first time we've seen an implementation of AR in which a large group of people could see value in it.

Also the fact Meta was first to market with a solid implementation of AR and not Apple or Google is also notable. I think I would have doubted their ability to pull something like this off a few years ago.

If you have kids this happens today, except they don't look up from their smart phone.

This isn't a new problem.

> Can you imagine trying to talk to someone face to face, but they are giving you a blank stare as random notifications and tiktok videos are being beamed inbetween their eyeballs and you. They wouldn't do this if the conversation is important to them. Not as much as one would glance on a smartwatch when they get a chirp, which, I believe is perfectly socially acceptable in most business/casual situations. And if the…

You can tell that some people who grew up addicted to video content already sort of just stare at the real world like they are watching a video and don't quite realise they are present. If they were wearing glasses where they were actually watching videos while they stare into space not much would change.

It seems like there are a lot of negative comments about Meta's glasses which is surprising to me as a regular user. I bought these both in clear and sunglasses and I love them. I've recorded some of the most amazing videos of my baby with them. Listening to music is fantastic as it's different from regular headphones since you can still hear the world around you — I've even done a few longer bike rides with them and…

Meta’s brand problem won’t be solved until Gen Alpha comes of age. They’re the first generation to accept VR and they won’t remember the Facebook debacle since they won’t be using Facebook, but they will use meta’s AR and VR

It’s technology that keeps you tuned in to the world around you, not distracted from it."
