I mean, it seems like a major advancement, certainly compared to Apple Vision Pro. I mean, you don't hear about the Apple Vision Pros anymore at all. I mean, those things came and went. It's pretty funny. It seems to me that Meta is executing extremely well. I mean, you had the very successful cost cutting, which Wall Street liked.

Zuck published that letter, which I give him credit for, regretting the censorship that Meta did, which was at the behest of the deep state. They made huge advancements in AI. I don't think they were initially on the cutting edge of that, but they've caught up. And now they're leading the open source movement with Lama 3.2. And now it seems to me that they're ahead on augmented reality.

Ever since Zuck grew out the hair, Don't ever cut the hair. It's like Samson.

Sax hurts your feeling when he's playing chess and not paying attention. Yeah, I'll be playing chess on my AR glasses while pretending to listen to you.

One point I want to just hit on is that the reason why these glasses have a chance of working is because of AI. I mean, Facebook initially made these... That's exactly my point. That's exactly my point. Facebook made these huge investments before AI was a thing. And in a way, I think they've kind of gotten lucky because what AI gives you is voice and audio.

So you can talk to the glasses or whatever the wearable is. It can talk to you. That's the five things. Like perfect natural language. And... Computer vision allows it to understand the world around you. So whatever this device is, it can be a true personal digital assistant in the real world.

Oh my God, I'm like so sick of this topic of job loss or job disruption. I got in so much trouble last week. You asked a question about whether the upper middle class is going to suffer because they're all going to be put out of work by AI. And I just kind of brush it off, not because I'm advocating for that, but just because I don't think it's going to happen. Hmm.

This whole thing about job loss is so overdone. There's going to be a lot of job disruption. But in the case of coders, just as an example, I think we can say that coders, depending on who you talk to, are 10%, 20%, 30% more productive as a result of these coding assistant tools. But we still need coders. You can't automate 100% of it. And the world needs so many of them.

The need for software is unlimited. We can't hire enough of them. At Glue, by the way, shout out if you're a coder who is afraid of not being able to get a job, apply for one at Glue. Believe me, we're hiring. I just think that this is so overdone. There's going to be a lot of disruption in the knowledge worker space. Like we talked about the workflow at call centers and service factories.

There's going to be a lot of change. But at the end of the day, I think there's going to be plenty of work. for humans to do. And some of the work will be more in the blue collar space. And I agree with Jamath that this is a good thing. I think there's been perhaps an over emphasis on the idea that the only way to get ahead in life is to get like a fancy degree from one of these universities.

And we've seen that many of the universities, they're just not that great, they're overpriced, you end up graduating with a mountain of debt, and you get a degree that is, you know, maybe even far worse than computer science, this is completely worthless. So if people learn more vocational skills, if they skip college, because they have a
