    Why “even?” Even after struggling with privacy concerns you don’t think they’re the future of wearables. Shouldn’t that be “because of?” Normally, privacy concerns aren’t a big plus point. I didn’t want to buy this hypothetical device but after learning all the data goes directly to an unencrypted database on an open server in the cloud, I was all in?

    TL;Dr because of this dumb premise that is the first sentence:

    As someone who is largely (if not always) inseparable from my iPhone’s camera, the desire to test out Meta’s elusive AI glasses was a natural next step.

    If that’s your natural next step, your opinion doesn’t matter to me.

      The wording really doesn’t make sense. I interpreted that sentence as sloppy wording intending to mean "even if they didn’t have the privacy issues I’m not sure they’d be the future the future of wearables. "

      If this wasn’t clear before… People. Don’t. Care.

      The majority of people do not give a shit that their 55" TV is subsidized from $1000 down to 300 or 400 because they are the the product. Or about phones and phone apps.

      And go ask people if they even know about meta glasses. Most don’t.

      Her selfish and narcissistic desire be relevant by wearing the glasses to influence let’s me form an opinion on her.

      What a self absorbed dick.
