It appears Meta’s Horizon Worlds may literally and figuratively not have legs after all.

    Meta (the company hilariously rebranded with this non-sense as their foundation) has moved on to the next grift: AI and mobile video surveillance devices.

      I love that they changed their name to show how serious they were about the metaverse being the future of tech and it never even came close to being a thing.

        Sure, but I did specifically say mobile video surveillance. Pretty sure their goal is to reduce the friction of taking out your phone to start capturing a video.

        I’ve already ended a friendship over these stupid things.

          Yeah those glasses are even ruining the rest of Ray bans sunglasses for me. Sucks because they fit my face well.

              Yeah I wear knockoffs most of the time since I’m not very careful with them.

              They still sell the regular wayfarers too, but I don’t want make people have to look twice to make sure I’m not surveilling them.

                Ah, yeah. That makes sense. I’ve don’t that double take many times, and it gets exhausting. I appreciate you thinking of others like this. Seriously. Thank you.

        Considering they developed the framework everybody builds upon nowadays, I doubt it.

        They’ve been in the AI game for about as long as everyone else. I would consider their lab to be one of the best in CV tech.
