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.

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.

BMW heated-seats style move. Classy.

Doesn’t even have adoption yet? They’re skipping a couple of steps on the enshitification ladder here
