Just a thought experiment, if I interview at Meta can I use these glasses ? "I ABSOLUTELY love your mission, and I envision everyone wearing these! It's cool if I use them during the interview, I feel this will help me understand the end user experience."

There's decorum. You can wear the glasses, but it doesn't mean you should be recording confidential meetings, anymore than you should be recording your partner during an argument.

Just because your iPhone has a video function doesn't mean it has to be on all the time.

Can you imagine trying to talk to someone face to face, eventhough you're not speaking the same language

Every sufficiently tech obsessed kids dream about being able to look at the screen while walking. It takes experiencting for them to accept it doesn't work.

I have never once in my life felt a moment of wanting that.

Billions of people voluntarily Meta products every month. They invented React, React Native, PyTorch, GraphQL, Cassandra, Presto, and RocksDB just to name a few.

Peak Hacker News hubris.

Anyone using Meta Ray-Bans should be aware that your data is collected and used for AI training. There is no opt-out unless you're from EU. Also, the old Meta View companion app one day was renamed into the Meta AI app and started to provide ChatGPT like functionality. 1) “Meta AI with camera use is always enabled on your glasses unless you turn off ‘Hey Meta", which basically makes glasses defunct. 2) “voice transcr…

i wonder if the CCPA applies here. too bad… I have trouble imagining they wouldn’t get enough data by just being opt-in by default like chatgpt.

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

That is true, it’s an old problem being amplified.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

My phone has so far replaced zero of my keyboards.

The vast majority of the planet uses a touchscreen phone or tablet as their primary (and sometimes only) computing device. The tech audience on HN is very far removed from how the rest of the world uses technology.

You're kinda missing the point here.

Yes, mobile phones use touchscreens, and billions of people have smartphones, that is correct. Yes the audience of HN is far removed, not gonna argue that. Because that's not what we're talking about.

Grandparent very correctly points out that mobile phones haven't replaced traditional keyboards, in fact there's probably more keyboards being sold now than at any point in history before, that's because phone touchscreen haven't replaced keyboards, they're just a new interface for a new device. 15 years later other devices are still using other interfaces, and the actual places where it has been replaced are not that many. Only point of sale machines and cars come to mind having replaced keyboards (and I'm being very generous, honestly I wouldn't even call that keyboards) with touchscreens, and some car brands are even starting to walk it back.

>Meta seems like one of the few large tech companies where if the whole company vanished, the world would be purely a better place. In the 'developed' world I'd extend that concept to many other other organizations. Around 90% of the work they do is useless or harmful: banks, govt, fast food chains etc.

Banks and government as your first two examples of useless institutions is definitely interesting

> It seems like there are a lot of negative comments about Meta's glasses which is surprising to me as a regular user. Really? Does nobody remember the "Glasshole" debacle with another equally large FAANG corporation who tried to push a similar technology? There were incidents of people getting physically assaulted JUST for wearing the things.

In 10 years the mentality evolves. It used to be considered extremely rude to pull out your phone during a conversation, now all the under 20 do it.

“evolves” is doing an awful lot of heavy lifting there

> Today at Connect, Mark Zuckerberg debuted the next exciting evolution of AI glasses..

Why this wasn't written as: "Meta debuted the next.."? You know what?! I have always felt that Meta is owned, managed, and totally controlled by Zuck alone! No board members and no investors.

I have been following Zuck in his Metaverse journey and more specifically, in his interviews like the one with The Verge and he is always speaking with this tone: "This is how I see it", "My vision is..", "I plan to make it this way..", like he is the only employee in his company.

If it was Apple that released this product, we would read something like: "Cupertino: Apple debuted the next exciting.." which reflects the vision, strategy, and innovation made by the company as whole and not a single person. I don't recall that Steve Jobs had behaved like this even in his prime time.
