Probably because we've seen goofy-looking AI glasses before.

Google Glass was released in 2013, the Snapchat Spectacles date back to 2016. Meta's glasses might be better (at first glance, I honestly can't tell), but they aren't some kind of revolutionary product we have never seen before.

The innovative part here is supposed to be the AI demo. That clearly flopped. So what's supposed to be left?

Right. I just wonder why nobody talks about the risks of bringing camera based glasses to the masses. This is mass surveillance at its best. Without camera, i would say it's a good phone replacement. But considering they try to make everyone use a camera on the glasses, it's clear they don't care.

Ya for real, i dont even care about the LLM/AI part. but the hardware looks really cool
