I think our disconnect is I donāt see AR glasses as a 1 to 1 comparison with smart phones. Again, I see them as a peripheral and not the actual computer. Phones are the computer. I donāt think AR glasses will ever be a need product, and as of rn, I donāt see them taking off either.

I dont think those are all cool or useful. Especially the recording all interactions. But also I dont want my brain chronically overstimulated by having shit constantly in my FOV. And since it would 100% be used for ads, I care even less for it.

This kind of feels like a Sinclair product from the 80s. Where it will take 30+ years and better companies to roll out anything close to the product that would be useful and take hold by consumers.
aoife leah (@aoifeleah.bsky.social) reply parent
To me theyāre just a peripheral w/o real purpose coming out at a time where really no one can afford them. That alone can be damning for a product. The only ppl I know who use AR in any form are mobile -Go players.
aoife leah (@aoifeleah.bsky.social) reply parent
But there are a lot of tech products that were touted as the future and then never really caught on. Sometimes it has to do with the expense of the product and the state of the economy its being rolled out in.

I donāt know. I feel like there would be a power vacuum that would split the party. And things Trump got away with, I donāt know if the MAGA sycophants would immediately fall in line with Vance doing. He represents the tech bros, and we see a split between their vision and MAGA vision already.

I still think the Russian regime will implode without Putin too. There are 2 major problems with building a party around a strong man image - you canāt have anyone else be at that same level, so when that person is gone, itās hard to put another person to rally around.
