I think my argument is just that's probably going to be less of a social advantage.
Because I'm trying to imagine being in a normal conversation with somebody...
not remembering their name and then having to wait for the glasses to tell me or like having a you know not knowing about a topic that they're talking about not wanting to sound stupid asking my glasses a question or whatever or just like even even with the display lenses like having a a little
thing, a little window in the bottom of your screen that you are looking at, people are going to be able to tell that you're not making eye contact, that you're not engaged with them in a face to face conversation.
And I just I just feel like there's going to be these weird tells that you are interacting with your glasses, not a person, you know,
Sometimes it's annoying when you're having a conversation with somebody and they pull out their phone and are texting away on their phone.
That feels like they're dismissing you in real life.
And I just think that this is in some ways going to be an easier way to do that.
And so I think it's just going to come down to how people how people deploy it in the moment.
If you're sitting there by yourself and you want to ask it a question or take a picture like that's totally fine.
If you're in a conversation with somebody in a room, I think it's going to get a little stickier.
I felt like I wasted 3.5 years for something that wasn't real.
But Boone, what do you think?
Yeah, 100 percent.
I mean, I one of the reasons I'm kind of excited to see where Google is going with its glasses is not because, you know, Google is like the good guy necessarily, but it's just it will be nice to have something that feels good.
like viable smart glasses that isn't made by Meta.
Just because Meta has, as Julie was saying, there's just this whole track record of privacy issues that have gone wrong.
I believe they're being sued right now because very sensitive videos had been uploaded to a Meta subcontractor who then saw videos that people had recorded on their glasses and didn't know that they were sharing.
So things like
People naked, people using the bathroom, people having sex like it.
