on Please, please buy our $2,400 AR glasses, begs Snap in c/technology@lemmy.world · 6d ago
They are the smallest glasses that do true AR where things are mapped and placed overlaid in the world. Other glasses that are more glasses sized don’t do this yet.

on Apple Watch's new AI features are normalizing the idea that technology is always listening in c/technology@piefed.social · 10 Sep 2026
Yeah. It reminds me of first hearing podcasters muse about AR glasses back in, like, 2005. They talked about never forgetting people’s names at parties and events in particular. But they never talked about the privacy implications and the data involved.
These same podcasters mused about online advertising being better because the ads will be tailored to you, so you’ll never see terrible ads anymore. That was also idealistic narrow view nonsense.
The podcast was This Week in Tech, and related shows btw.

I’ve wanted this sort of tool for 25 years. But I’ve also thought that it would never happen due to ethical concerns.
I expect this will be a feature future AI devices from OpenAI will have.

Maybe nerd is too specific. I just mean “online people” I guess. But I personally have a focus on tech, games, video, etc. It’s something I’m increasingly self aware about, after spending the time since 2020 more online. Including in synchronous online spaces.
The spaces I’m talking about felt very different to me 15+ years ago. And the synchronous space I’m talking about felt very different 9 years ago.
Anyway, you’re not wrong. Your framing is still the people I mean. And now I see their type around me in more spaces. And yeah, it’s funny how it’s always a baselsss ban.

This is one of my biggest complaints about Lenny lemmy. And it has given me a new perspective on those around me in nerd spaces. 😔
I really feel like Lenny amplifies and concentrates it in a way that makes it more visible at times. And GTA6 is an example.

That context was totally different. Broadcast TV is not just a collection isolated clips you can search for and pull up. But the internet is. And we could just get or share the clip direct from the source without it being edited and packaged into influencer content. Maybe it’s not simple or easy sometimes, but it’s usually possible.
Those shows of the past were what you tuned into. On the internet, we can share direct pieces of video and audio and images with each other. The commentary is optional. On broadcast television, the context had to come from the packaging. On the internet we can provide text based context alongside the videoclip. We can organize it into a database. We can share it in specific contexts like communities.
influencers packaging clips like this is different, and the person you replied to is correct. People can enjoy this woman fine and follow her for her commentary. But suggesting this is how we should share information because it’s how broadcast television worked before the internet is justifying something we don’t need to justify. And it’s doing so with an onerous comparison, in my opinion.

on New Twitter launches, says Musk's X gave up the name in c/technology@lemmy.world · 27 Aug 2026
The original twitter bird was inspired by a third party app called Twitterific. They didn’t really use a bird, and blue, before it, IIRC.
It was also originally Twittr. Like Flickr. And Letterboxd.

on Twitch content has trained Amazon AI for years, but users can opt out now in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Aug 2026
There are crazy people who believe they can just real time hallucinate consistent and fun video games without actually building real games.
Google has already put out multiple demonstrations of early versions.
I’m skeptical they will ever make them have grounded world interactions, collision or consistency over time. I’m also skeptical they will ever be cost effective to run.
But yeah, this is one possibility.

on Meta to open source its most powerful AI model as it takes swipe at OpenAI, Anthropic in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
Meta said it would open source its most powerful AI models and launch new ones designed for consumer devices, as it looks to rival leading labs like OpenAI and Anthropic.
In an Instagram video posted Monday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg said that the company would open the weights[…]
These paragraphs contradict each other.
No one actually knows what open source means. Yet so many random people use the word. Including reporters.
They just need that fancy controller openAI made. Then it’ll be an approve button instead.
