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

That ad could have been taken straight from Black Mirror

It’s exactly that tenor and vibe.

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 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.

Or for gamers to create game world overlay of real world. Like hunting pokemons :))

No, I totally agree with you. I'm just saying that the VC's are simply buying cheap and hyping it up to a frenzy, to dump it hard in a couple of years. That's the business model.

I watched that whole ad and I still don't know what it is.

A wearable Amazon Echo but instead of ordering toilet paper, it sends messages to your phone to prove what a friendless loser you are

I have no words for how pathetic this is, but everyone is a sad pathetic wimp now so I actually think this might sell.

If that onterface is legit, I have to say it is very clever.

What do you mean? It’s an always-on speaker that sends AI-generated push notifications to a phone

Actually it might have a use case for the chronically lonely and/or elderly. It’s a form of precursor to Elon’s brain chip, no? Just hanging around the neck.

No. It's demented.
