The real-time translation thing has me interested. As long as by “AI” they mean “less shitty Google Translate app” and not “burning down the planet to give Grok waifu booba”, I’m on board.
It would be really cool to have that built into your glasses instead of having to wave a smartphone around.
Yeah, especially if people who already wear glasses can get them with their prescriptions
Speaking of prescriptions, while almost entirely unrelated, I still love that VR headsets can get prescription lenses so you don’t have to wear glasses while using them; it was almost a day 1 purchase for me when I realized they exist (I had to visit an eye doctor first to get my eye stats)
Less bad google translate doesn’t have to be called “AI” to begin with. I don’t know why people keep falling for the hype and now Artificial Intelligence is bastardized word with no meaning.
Clippy was AI in 1997 or whatever, or autocomplete, or that photoshop smart lasso etc. Every garbage can and will be called “AI”. I wouldn’t mind “features” like this either, but I think its pretty obvious that when the companies and industries buy into and ship products labeled AI they mean exactly the LLM powered garbage with all the downsides we know.
I can understand how it would translate audio to your glasses, but how tf would you respond to the other person if you don’t speak the same language
Pass the glasses between yourselves
Have a set of speakers that translate in real time like star Trek? Idk
I’ve seen some that have small speakers in them or something? Or i may be imagining that
They would have to have them too I guess.
burning down the planet to give Grok waifu booba", I’m on board.
Sorry it’s burning down the earth to give EVERYONE booba
idc you can’t make me like the dork glasses
Then again, what if they start selling “virtual” ad-spaces and forces you to pay a subscription service to block them?
No, no that would be silly…
Jailbreaking my glasses in order to install an adblocker on them because by default they automatically fill every blank space with augmented reality popups.
2000s - Learning computers so you can torrent blink 182.
2020s - Learning computers so you can run an encrypted VPN tunnel to your home server running a root-less container of a pi-hole image to filter out ads and spyware to get your glasses to be somewhat functional. Also, your watch is bricked for some reason.
A heavy rock can do that too
Hmm. Not sold on them all the same. Didn’t we go over all of this already with Google Glass? The sleeker design of these specs doesn’t make them any less an absolute creep show surveillance state plaything :/
Fair, tbqh one good feature wouldn’t make me buy them either cuz yeesh
I like that particular feature, but I’m sure it won’t be long until they make an app to block out homeless people.
2 million units by EOY, 2x from last year. So they’re growing in popularity but at the risk of downplaying the situation we aren’t exactly in a Labubu-level event yet.
Labubu-level event yet.
Idk what this is but i googled it and it’s basically if someone made a Troll doll fuck a funko pop. If these are spreading in china it’s proof communism can’t stop people from wasting resources on stupid trash
Communism can only disincentivize the creation of stupid trash. Liking stupid collectibles is genuinely human nature.
Most unrealistic part of the photo I saw of these things was a grown adult smiling while holding one rather than sighing in deep frustration
China’s going to have their version of (dawn of?) the dead that also complains about the rise of consumerism
Iirc, it’s because of k-pop idolatry.
Labubu blew up because Lisa from Blackpink bought one yeah, but it’s not like there wasn’t already a culture of consumerism like everywhere else in the world.
labubu’s are cheap and collectible, so they’re in a totally different category than smart glasses which presumably you buy one pair of and stick with for a while.
Can’t wait for every interaction with other people to be like “Am I being recorded right now?”.
Capitalism is when no smart glasses.
Honestly though, at this rate if we
sanctiontariff ourselves out of high technology I think it would actually improve things here.what’s chinese for “glasshole”?
Ah yes, doing what a smartwatch can already can do to 99%, and the smartwatch is doing what a phone can already do to 99%.
Pretty clearly doing live translation works much better with glasses.
oh no but what about the China PCP stealing your dakka
