A pair of smart glasses developed by two Harvard dropouts will record everything you do to make you "super intelligent."

    This is NOT a Harvard startup. This is a Harvard dropout creating a buzzword startup.

    It’s quite amazing the number of Harvard dropouts who become terrible persons. If I was a Harvard dropout, I sure wouldn’t boast about it.

      Zuckerberg made it fashionable. Now “Harvard drop out” is code for “I was too smart for Harvard so I bailed”

        I have more respect for people who finish their studies. It takes more effort, dedication and talent than striking it rich on the latest fad du jour - which is what Gates, Fuckerberg and this cretinous AI-loving kid did.

    Could someone please define “vibe thinking” for me? I am afraid the article will give me literal cancer.

      They want to record literally everything that every happens to or around you and feed it all into their algorithms, so you can leave your decision-making to the large lying machine.

      Advertisers have discovered that critical thinking slows or even dissuades consumerism, so they’re keen to find ways to just insert themselves right into the thinking process by having an AI suggest answers to all life’s queries.

    I already do vibe thinking:

    • Very unpredictable
    • I’m just along for the ride
    • Bats
    • Everything is difficult

    These people saw the future depicted in Wall-E where the earth is a polluted mountain of trash and people have forgotten how to think and actually do anything, and were like “it’s beautiful”.

    Wisdom is not data, and being “smart” is not about instant recall of trivia.

    These might be illegal in two-party consent (to being recorded) states, namely California.

    Meh. For the “vibe” lifestyle, those things needed a small display or teleprompter to tell me what to say, think and do all day. Without that it’s just a self inflicted privacy nightmare and not even as much as the “glassholes” could do in 2013.

    If the name of the kid who founded this hateful startup rings a bell, it’s because he’s not new at this dystopian shit:

    Why would I want to subordinate my independent rational thought to a corporate algorithm that views me as a product?
