    And still, I don’t get their use case unless it’s to be deliberately sneaky. Even their own ads are just “if you’re a pathetic idiot with no friends or ability to plan ahead even a little bit, these are the glasses for you!”

    At a fancy restaurant by yourself and don’t know how the utensils work?

    Need a hotel and just wanna blindly trust your glasses?

    Can’t speak the local language at a resort full of anglophones and the attendant for some reason only speaks that language?

    Or maybe you’re at a concert by yourself and really need to film something(you don’t, everyone else should be putting their fucking phones away, too).

    Like LLMs, they’re a sad technology for sad, stupid people.

      LLMs are good for identifying plants. And transcription. And a bunch of other things I can’t think of right now. If you’ve ever had to do transcription by hand, you know the pain, and you’ll be so grateful to have a machine do it for you.

      The problem is people trying to shoehorn LLMs into everything and calling it “Artificial Intelligence”.

        We had a lot of that technology before and didn’t need inefficient AI to do it for us. Also do LLMs(large language models) actually identify plants?

        We functioned without this bullshit just fine only a few years ago. This whole AI buzz is a post-covid thing and people are acting like we’d all die and civilization would grind to a halt if we don’t let data centres fuck us up our collective asshole.

      Need a hotel and just wanna blindly trust your glasses?

      What are your other options? Blindly trust google? Blindly trust random locals? Blindly trust every hotel receptionist trying to convince you to stay at their hotel?

      At some point you have to trust something.

        You can at least look at options presented to you. Even Google Maps will let you manually sift through businesses. Letting your fucking sunglasses tell you “go here” is immensely different, dude.
