I feel like a tween with embarrassing parents when it comes to the human race. "I'm not with them!!!" Is what I'll scream when the aliens come...

[–] [email protected] 18 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I think aliens would be horrified by so many things we do (or don't do!) that wearing an entertainment device on your face wouldn't even break the top 100.

ETA: The guy in the cyber truck though. That might get shown as an example in some of the other items in their list.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Honestly I just would love to be a fly on the wall as someone explained Easter to them...

[–] FenrirIII 7 points 9 months ago

I welcome the end of 90% of the human race.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Come on, it's a prank.

As in Tim Apple pranked them out of 3.5k.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Still, I wouldn't be surprised if this was the norm 20 years from now.

[–] Modern_medicine_isnt 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Nah, it will be an implant in 20 years. Lol

Can’t wait to wake up from a deep dream with an epiphany, finally realizing my life’s true path: To use my life savings to buy as much Taco Bell as possible

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Yeahhh... I really hope the transnational sociopath corporations don't have too much control over the tech.

[–] Thcdenton 4 points 9 months ago

Thank you Tim Apple

The gym one is a pretty solid idea, I dig it. The others feel like they were done for the memes (the gym one probably was too, but definitely the guy crossing the street).

[–] [email protected] 20 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Except the sweat.

I have had my share of "exercises" with VR headset on and the sweat is real.

[–] AdolfSchmitler 5 points 9 months ago

Dude just wearing the damn thing makes me sweat lol

Transit is also fine. They’re not getting in anyone’s way or risking anyone’s harm.

Walking is actually one major use case for the future. Imagine walking somewhere and having turn by turn directions provided for you. The issue with this person is that they stopped in the middle of the road to adjust something on their screen. Also, I don’t think walking directions is even a feature yet.

There’s obviously something already wrong with the Cyber Truck driver. I mean… they bought a Cyber Truck.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

One step away from cybertruck+neuralink.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Imagine walking somewhere and having turn by turn directions provided for you

Imagine having a phone

[–] Chriswild 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I don't recognize how one is more outrageous than the other.

[–] SuckMyWang 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

According to this thread one currently appears stupid and the other one is socially accepted

I mean, you’re not wrong. When I’m navigating though, I hate having to hold my phone out, while constantly looking down. If I had a less intrusive, but also way less obvious set of glasses, to just point out directions as I look around and see the world around me, I would be happier. Especially when going somewhere new. That said, these goggles aren’t the answer yet.

They killed google glass for this?

[–] SuckMyWang 7 points 9 months ago

Google glass was more camera than display These seem to be more about display than camera. Still an outrages intrusion of privacy

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

O.o Apple killed Google Glass?

[–] Furbag 2 points 9 months ago (2 children)

I should clarify that "they" in this context is the consumer, who rejected Google Glass for a multitude of reasons, but embrace this product which is essentially the same thing, except bulkier. I can't really wrap my head around it.

Looks like someone needs they're license privileges revoked.

So if a Cybertruck runs me down in a crosswalk, does my newly widowed wife sue Tesla or Apple?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

Both? Both!

Both is good

To me it looks like rage bait.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I wanted a discussion, not to provoke rage. Some might agree, others not.

[–] cholesterol 16 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not talking about your intentions. I'm doubting the authenticity of those clips. The clips look produced to induce rage in people, because rage drives up engagement, and engagement drives up exposure.

[–] JeeBaiChow 18 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Clearly apple does not allow porn on these devices! /s

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I assume porn being one of the key selling points

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

This music is from the Annihilation score, right?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Works very well with the visuals.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Thanks, I was watching on mute and wouldn’t have known they used the song on the video if I didn’t see your comment.

[–] Vlixz 12 points 9 months ago

This looks like a episode of black mirror

Hardly seems different than every fucking human in existence walking around with their eyes glued to their phones

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

Those were my initial thoughts as well. The device may differ, but it's basically the same thing.
