I CALLED IT!!!
A few months ago I said that AR/VR would be (again) the next stupid hype after the GenAI bubble finally burst.
Now the facebook kid says that whoever doesnt buy his sparkly glasses is an uncool square.
Nailed it! Beware, people, the stupid crappy-lphone-in-your-glasses will be the next "disruptive innovation" that hypephiliac managers will preach as the new-new-gospel.
Maybe its the facebook kid's way of trying to revive his "metaverse" craptastic debacle?

    It still doesn't fulfill my usecase of showing a HUD with my health points, my ammunition and highlighting my enemies in a red outline. But we're getting closer.

    @cafecortado dude, just write "crappy" in a really tiny piece of post-it note, a "zero" in another one, paste each to one lens of your regular glasses, and grab a red lantern. There, you can see, respectively, your health, your ammo and all your enemies are shown in a red light.

    There is an endless cycle of stupid hype from CEOs thinking they will finally replace the peasants they need by docile machines.

    The truth about IA is that bosses are themselves simpletons and think a 128k tokens context window is remotely close to what the human mind can do.

    @antigermanist Just because they can be replaced with a 64k context window...

    @BordedDev you only need 3 token to be a capitalist

    Make. More. Money

    They are very simple folks

    @antigermanist Yes 3 tokens but 64k context, because they want to store a lot of money

    @BordedDev the suits think unrealized stock "gains" are money. Or that money has intrinsic value, since we're on this subject.
    They dont even want a Scrooge McDuck pool of cash to swim into, an ugly up-trending chart is all that matters.
    Performative wealth assholes.

    @JsonBoa That's true, unfortunately idiots pressure gov to tax those "gains" because they also see it as money instead of the gambling that it is
