I mean the best that this thing can be is some sort of pin or remote the size of an iPod shuffle that you speak to and speak back to you and has a camera right I mean, how attractive can you really make that? That doesn’t sound like the most amazing product the world has ever seen to me.

You know does sound cool? Xreal glasses with whatever the maximum FOV can be shoved into the design of conventional glasses with some cameras and speakers. And that let me continue to connect to whatever device I want.

My old Oculus Quest is filled with software that doesn’t work anymore.

AI that doesn’t interact with the world or websites or apps is boring.

Sooo, the Humane Ai Pin? It flopped, and they went bankrupt.

Yep. Seems lame.

You mean something like Humane AI Pin? I'm fairly sure they are aware of it and would come up with something better.

I thought there was a thing where they're trying to put cameras on ear pods imagine it has 180 view, merges it with the other half 360 deg view around you

I could see the features, you hear a ding: says someone's following you

Of course your hair could obscure it so idk... I had thought about clothes with a camera on the back eg. shoulder or collar

It's an interesting concept that many of us think about but most people would use sometimes then leave it accumulating dust near the VR headset, the benefits of using it daily would be too low unless you are a famous influencer.

There was one time I was walking and out of the corner of my eye I see this dog sprinting full speed towards me I was like holy f luckily it was chained

It doesn't seem that appealing to me either, but on the other hand I have terrible intuition for popular products, I thought GPT 3.5 was stupid and that the iPhone was dumb, so being bullish on this is probably a good idea.

Ive has stated that he's skeptical of wearables. Altman said something like, "This product will be the third thing you place on your desk, after your phone and laptop."

It could be a ring, morsing you answers and giving you electrical shocks whenever you anger the AI overlord.

Why do you think they aren't working on smart glasses?

It’s sort of irrelevant if they are or not. If they are, they probably want the device to be a part of a closed ecosystem and we already see products in that space using micro OLEDs from Sony that can connect to anything.
