I concur. It's equal parts sad and disgusting. That doesn't mean they won't make money with it though. Remember that the horizon of a VC is three years. That's the calculation they're making.
This new generation of VC-backed AI bullshit is completely disconnected from reality.
Who the fuck is going to wear a speaker as a pendant that listens to everything you say or is said to you and acts as a “friend” on your phone?
How sad does a person have to be to buy this crap? I would bully the hell out of anyone with this thing on and let their phone friend condole them afterwards.
And how stupid are the VCs throwing money at it?
No one wants this shit. https://v.nostr.build/nIqjbBTHmgjjJ9h5.mp4 nostr:note123tfxyc7jrzfuup7gm3kjlust35dayt5xsz045e4hdwpd24le0fq2w798d

This will be a massive failure, much like Humane was and the Apple Vision Pro has been too.
People don’t want this wearable shit. The one consumer wearable that would actually be useful is real-time voice translation but that’s not sexy enough for VCs to sell some grand vision around.
