Meta's survival is fascinating to me. They dumped money in VR, their AI is not as good as their competitors and now they are dumping money on this glasses thing. They keep on getting caught doing shady things too.
Something doesn’t add up. According to what the article is saying about Meta’s help article, there is no price tier which allows unlimited conversation mode 720 hours/month. Even the highest paid tier can only get 15 hours.
But the article says this is an on-device feature. So there should be no overhead to Meta at all, aside from them storing the conversations I assume.

Well, of course it's getting rate limited behind a subscription. Someone has to pay for all the additional compute and storage required to datamine your conversations.
They are actually selling really well. But sadly, they are selling because you can drill out the 'recording' indicator light and use them to secretly record people to make creepy TikToks.

Me: You know, these ugly creeper peepers could not possibly make me want them any less.
A PM deep in the heart of darkness: Hold my creatine.

This kind of product should simply be banned, there's just so many things wrong.
absurd to ban cameras but allow firearms
I'm not in the US so firearms are not even a question for me.
I was shown a full page interstitial for Meta Starfire by Kylie the other day, and it wasn't even the good Kylie.
I have doubts they know how to market these if I'm seeing this ad.
