Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg claims anyone not wearing smart glasses will be at a “cognitive disadvantage” in the future. But you'll have to pay a hefty social price for those added smarts.

    I really want smart glasses. I just need it to be a device under my control, not a spyware streaming my life to zuckerberg

        That’d be cool! Honestly it doesn’t even need to be cutting-edge tech, just durable, comfortable to the eyes and open to tinker with.

          You pretty much hit the nail of what I want. Good value, does a decent job, and not locked in.

    When Google Glass came out, I remember someone comically strapping a phone to a headband holding it next to their face. It was to make a point.

    That point still stands.

    Jamming your thumb into a raccoon’s anus might make you smarter!

    A sudy just came out of MIT showing that dependency on AI assistance leads to cognitive decline and disadvantage to several key performers of intelligence such has recalling, learning, and problem solving.

    The doctor that led the study has raised it as a major long-term concern. Because of this, they have published it in urgency before awaiting full peer review, so they’re pretty confident. On the surface, though, the study and how it was conducted makes it pretty obvious she’s right.
