On Wednesday, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled a slew of new augmented reality glasses, including what he claimed to be the “first AI glasses with high resolution,” a new $799 version of its Meta Ray-Ban smart glasses that features a tiny screen that’s viewable to the wearer.
But it didn’t take long for the company’s MetaConnect 2025 keynote to descend into chaos. The social media giant’s demos repeatedly failed, leading to awkward stares, deafening silences, and muted laughter.
The poor showing painfully demonstrates that the tech is far from ready, even as companies continue to shove AI into every aspect of our daily lives.

Zuckerberg is a nazi loser. Booooo! BooooooooooO!
Windows 95 USB moment right there
This one?
Love that for him
Those ‘smart’ glasses look like some truly dystopian shit. They might record everything we see, and might record our surroundings through a slew of sensors embedded into the glasses. Honestly, I will stay away from these.
Yep. And since they’re made by “Meta”, any promise that those glasses aren’t constantly recording and over sharing - well, I won’t believe it.
Smart phones already do, but yeah camera on your face is even worse
You really think Meta/Facebook would do that? They’ve never done anything like that before!!
/s
Just wait till people wear them into restrooms.
Change the fucking doors!
Everyone equates him to lex luthor, but honestly with this data mining shit he’s Jim Carrey’s Riddler without the humanity
Can’t wait until it bites him in the arse and he starts flapping around screaming he’s batman
Ok, I can get how he looks almost exactly like that version of the Riddler, but I don’t remember what was his villain plot in that Batman movie (Forever? &Robin?)
Forever, the 3D box that was siphoning everyone’s private thoughts

Fuck me that shit looks positively prophetic now
The problem is that people like Zuckerberg, Bezos (and Trump in fact), don't react to humiliation the way ordinary people do. It makes them want to dominate the world more. I'll never forget the look on Trump's face at that correspondents dinner sitting there being ridiculed by everyone. He probably decided to ruin everything for everyone in the entire world right there and then. Bezos was ridiculed for decades as a dumb, failed entrepreneur and ended up quasi-enslaving over a million people, forcing a lot of them to pee in bottles and be monitored like lab mice. It just feels like the opposite of a good idea to add more fuel to their insecurities. It doesn't end well for the rest of us.
Okay?
So let me get this straight. A society of billions should grovel at the feet of these specific human meatbags, filled with the same blood, brains, hearts, and other mammalian organic matter as the rest of us…because they are immature little shits?
Is this correct?
They aren’t and can’t force anyone to do anything. That is a choice everyone is making. They are tiny, minuscule little insects who would vanish with a thought if humanity chose so.
I can’t wait for our planet to wake up.
Assuming ‘they’ are the billionaires… Who do you think is actually controlling everything?
See, that is a loaded question, and depends on how you view the universe.
I view the universe as a multidimensional, at least aleph one omniverse, consisting of an infinite ladder of super-set verses, of which we are in only a single subset infinite universe.
The substrate upon which these realities exist I refer to as “the source”. People have had many names for it through time, one might call it The Tao, another Brahman, another still might call it “God,” (though given the nature of reality, there are tiers of these god beings, and the beings people think of “god” on this planet are merely higher-dimensional reality caretakers).
In any case, for me, I would say that source energy is “controlling” everything, as it provided the reality substrate necessary for stable/continued “being”.
That source energy supersedes all reality boundaries, including creators and caretakers of universes, regardless of dimensionality.
But let’s bring it back to this reality and your question. Here on Earth, I believe the laws of physics control everything. Those are the physical boundaries placed on us humans. They can’t be violated by material means, and provide a tidy framework for these meat bodies to comprehend truth and structured boundaries.
Still not close enough to home? Let’s talk about human invented social constraints, then.
The PEOPLE control everything. We farm the food, we build the buildings, we engineer new inventions and maintain old ones, we run the factories, we run the governments…none of this works without the people making it work. So the people are the ones actually controlling everything.
We aren’t mindless machines. We can make choices. Just because most people choose to be mindless servants with the most vile humans imaginable pulling the levers does not make that reality. That is a choice, and it is a choice we can choose to stop making collectively in an instant.
One could say these vampire lords have used the laws of physics to create levers on society in the form of mass media, social media, money, etc in order to control the people. A sort of twisted nervous system (it certainly doesn’t help the nerves), which they use to move the monstrous might of the people. It seems to be working right now, I will say that. So when I become overwhelmed in the frame of a single human body under the thumb of these monsters, I like to go in to my mind, a place they don’t yet have access, imagine we are just on one single pale blue dot among many, in one solar system among countless, in one galaxy among innumerable, in one universe among infinite, in a reality multiverse amidst then timeless expanse of creation, all as a tiny speck of dust within a void that could, from this frame, occupy the space of a single cell in my own body. And so, I realize, I have everything within me. And I like to think from that vantage point. Suddenly, these monsters become so very small. Even my own life and death become minuscule when seen from the lens of everything. But it is just something to imagine, nothing more :)
I’m half way through. Alright, back to reading…
Using plainer language, it is really just a fancy way of saying that there is an ultimate cause-like thing in the sense that clearly forms exist, rather than nothing existing, so we may as well name it “the source” because that is more descriptive than more flowery names like Brahman or Tao. (Also, the term God is misleading because usually people associate it with a particular form, but the source cannot have a form because then there would be need to be a cause for that form!)
This might seem like abstract philosophy, but believe it or not it is actually directly relevant to you personally! You already know all of this intuitively because you are aware of the fact that you are aware, which means that you are directly aware of the existence of the source—in fact, in a way, you are already in union with the source of reality, because the whole point of the source is to make things exist rather than not existing, and at the core of your experience you are something that exists.
The reason why you might not appreciate this is because you (like me, and most other people) probably spend most of your time focused outward on the objects in your awareness, rather than on your awareness itself. However, it turns out that there is a lot of happiness and wisdom that can be gained by spending time practicing being consciously aware of the feeling of being aware; at the very least, I think it is really exciting to play with trying to connect more with the ultimate reality at the core of my being to gain intuition about the nature of reality! 😀 As a caveat, though: it’s actually surprisingly tricky because it is hard to consciously change your focus to the feeling of being aware of being aware, so if you want to play with this then you need to be relaxed and watchful to create the conditions under which this can happen spontaneously.
Do you also believe that women should not wear short skirts so as to not give rapists ideas?
Bit of a leap didn’t ya think?
These people only have power because we let them.
We can decide tomorrow Zuck has no power. He can not stop us all.
It’s super easy. Just stop using these idiot’s services.
The hard part is people feel the need for that connection, be it social with Facebook, where else will they go? Google+ is no longer around, mySpace.
Amazon, what other service provides next day or even same day delivery without leaving the house.
Easy for people to stop going to Trump hotels. That’s a no brainer.
Easier said than done.
Amazon is more than just the shitty 'murican aliexpress and prime video, it’s also AWS, which earns fuckloads of money from corporate customers.
Meta owns Whatsapp, which is the most widely used communication app in the entire world. In some countries, not using whatsapp is the same as being incommunicado.
They also own Instagram, which a LOT of small and medium businesses rely on to find customers
Not so easy for these people who became reliant on them.
Google smartglasses got quite a backlash some ten years back, a beta version dude wore into a fast food place or something got everyone upset for filming them all without consent.
They shelved it around then for whatever reasons.
Turns out people don’t want to be filmed at all times
It’s ok when it’s hidden, but not when you are aware of them.
you mean security camera vs in your face camera?
This for sure. Security cameras everywhere, from the time you pull into the parking lot to inside the business, traffic cams, etc.
Difference is that you don’t expect that those will be potentially uploaded to a social media platform with the commentary of the recorder.
They are ussually closed loop as well… so in theory only accessed by the store manager or police. Though, im sure more and more are being piped straight to the cloud for ‘analyzation’
i haven’t been on that website that lets you login to almost any ALPR because it smells like a honeypot to me but y’know.
Surveillance Camera Man
I mean, it’s not okay with me, I just don’t feel like we have a choice anymore.
They shelved it mostly because the battery technology wasn’t evolved enough. Now that it is, no privacy concerns will ever stop them
They shelved it because it didn’t work. I have a very normal English accent (think BBC) and the voice recognition was extremely unreliable. Super frustrating experience. Plus nobody wants to use a voice interface in public.
I dunno if we ever really saw how the “camera on your head” social aspect would have played out because they were too shit for anyone except the curious rich to buy them in the first place.
This thing seems to work (well in theory anyway) without a voice interface which is much saner.
I used a Google glass once. A friend had bought one and we sat around his house kinda playing with it. The display was tiny, only about a fingernail sized portion of the top corner of one eye, and iirc it was text only. Also, the module on the glasses to do that was pretty huge - like “90s-toy dragonball power level eyepiece on top of a normal glasses frame” huge.
He ended up returning it after we all discussed it. I don’t remember that or if the consensus was, but I remember thinking it was neat but really really really really really really really premature and REALLY expensive. I think it was over a grand.
Compare that to the hololens 1 that I played with at some point, and THAT was really cool. Awful gestures, very dark, bigger but still laughably small FOV, but at least the hololens was playing spatial computing games overlayed into your vision. It, too, was really premature, but at least it was forward progress.
I don’t know what’s in Zuck’s head or heart, but I think AR and VR are fucking awesome technologies, and while embarrassing moments are easy to make fun of, I also know that his show of spine for something he believes in in the face of people and investors has impressed me at least a little bit. I wish money wasn’t involved and wouldn’t ruin everything it touches, because for better and for worse, the tech is going to change the world.
Everything Zuck does screams “I have no friends”.
Tom from mySpace has all the friends
it was the wifi guys…
Why must the thumbnail show his cum face
I had to go back and look… Too funny
I read that face as:
“Shit, how do humans show exasperation again?! Fuck it, I’ll just copy Ben Affleck from that one meme. :fucks it up:”
It’s his expression when he receives an anal probe with new private data
he has a humiliation fetish and this is a part of it
Fuck now I can’t unsee it.
I don’t think you can humiliate him, androids can’t feel shame.
just reverse the polarity of his recharge cable. i mean it’ll still work, he’s got buffers and shit for that i dunno i don’t build robits but it makes him buzz

Is it just me or is the domain for the link no longer active?
I think they got the link from Twitter, and then tried to modify it so it goes through xcancel, but forgot the c. This works: xcancel.com/altryne/status/1968473903816224913
you fucked it
It was DNS.
Just a few days ago, I commented on how Meta is taking the spot Microsoft left vacant after no longer doing live BSoD on these kinds of events.
Absolute Cinema ✋🤵🤚
Love how they blamed it all on the wifi.
