Two former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time.
“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology.
Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.”
“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.
literally them: 🤓
Are they “drop outs” or were they ‘asked’ to leave the establishment?
Thiel/Yarvin/ acolytes probably. I didn’t look up who owns the VC funds but I expect no one not sociopathic.
Does anyone not sociopathic own a VC fund?
“Vulture Capitalist” funds?
Did we not fucking learn anything from Black Mirror?
“The Entire History of You?”
Right wing people seem to have no media literacy.
I wish someome would ELI5 media literacy. So if I see an article, but I can read between the lines and know what it really means, or that it is sensationalized click bait, am I media literate? Or does it mean I am aware of trackers and surveillance on everything? Does it mean I know to check international news sources to be more well rounded?

Damn, how did you know that’s why I couldn’t read that?
Well, there’s https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_literacy but that’s not written for children
I don’t think, of your examples, trackers and surveillance are a big part of it. Understanding subtext and credibility are more relevant. Like, recognizing when a newspaper always uses passive voice when cops do bad (eg: “man killed after violent police encounter” vs “police fatally shoot man waiting at bus stop”), but active voice for other people (eg: “Looters destroy small business shops” vs “Downtown shops damaged during anti-corruption protests”)
Also in fiction, being able to take away more than just the plot. Like you can read Dracula as just a book about a guy that bites people, but there are way more ways to read it. When someone makes a movie out of the story, notice what parts they keep, emphasize, and drop.
If their glasses make you “super intelligent” when you put them on, then maybe they should put on their own product and finish school? That was my line of thinking, until I got to this part of the article:
Ardayfio called the glasses “the first real step towards vibe thinking.”
…and then I realized I have no idea what the hell they’re talking about and stopped reading.
You won’t even have to think anymore, let AI think for you!, you’ll be thoughtless and content
Seems likely to run afoul of two-party consent laws.
Is dropping out of Harvard considered something to brag about now?
Are they trying to evoke the Mark Zuckerberg or Steve Jobs vibe by saying Harvard dropouts? Do they not realize that those are HORRIBLE people no one should ever look up to?
