Honestly, I’m an avid user of Ray-Ban metas and I agree that if Zuck doesn’t want to re-hash his old original sin (distracting algorithmic feeds) into this new form factor, he would block out any feeds and notifications from the glasses when it detected someone was talking to you, which the glasses can do really well. I’m hoping whatever answer Apple comes up with here has this behavior as default because they don’t have an active user axe to grind.

The glasses shine bright when you’re alone, on a walk.

Also while you’re at it, kill the Facebook and Instagram feeds to save humanity. Too much to ask?

Out of curiosity, is there a specific reason to expect different? To me this is designed for attention primacy, for exactly that purpose.

    I mean they’re not cartoon villains.

    This message is just not getting through to leadership from the bubble and all these hardware sales is an opening for alternative business plans, especially if Apple offers a decent alternative.

      Sure. I'm not assuming the worst from them, but in lieu of a reason, I am expecting the same.
