Even OpenAI right now, which has definitely not released any hardware, they're also exploring hardware AI wearables.

They haven't explained exactly what those are.

There's a lot of different kind of ideas.

People think that they might be like a pin or an earbud or glasses.

Apple is rumored to be working on an AirTag sized AI device as well that's going to compete with that.

But I think right now, no one really knows.

And everyone has been very cautious with

uh that especially after the humane ai pin kind of flopped so for now i think meta is basically the most aggressive player in this uh hardware market they're actually shipping ai glasses at scale they actually work i have a lot of friends a lot of friends that are not in tech that are just like yeah i got these cool meta ray bands look at all the cool things i can take pictures and do all this stuff like on the go and i think people really like them so they have a lot of different markets

uh a lot of different models they have oakley's um as well that they're kind of doing more for like workouts which i think might be a really compelling real world use case for this category so far overall i think that meta is going to be uh definitely if they can keep the innovation up i think they'll be able to keep ahead of a lot of different people and i'm definitely impressed because this was not my expectation that meta would be the hardware leader especially when you have companies like google have a lot more experience in this but have just been slower to put something to market so

It'll be interesting to see how that goes.

Thank you so much for tuning into the podcast.

If you enjoyed the episode, if you wouldn't mind leaving a rating and review, it really helps the show a ton.

I would appreciate it so, so much.

It basically just helps more people find it.

The algorithm pushes out the show when people are leaving reviews.

So it would help me out a ton if you could do that on Apple.

It's you can leave a comment.
