I feel a lot of us are starting to reject new tech that seeks to aggressively deepen our digital immersion.
- rchaud 10mo agoVery easy to do when priced at $3500 and brazenly designed to deepen their own walled garden lock-in.
- throw310822 10mo agoVR/AR headsets are a super cool tech that I'd love to use but I don't dare buying, because it feels too isolating.
- vitaelabitur 10mo agoIt's ironic I've been waiting for smart glasses with displays ever since I found them in books and films as a kid, but now I see them as artifacts signaling a dystopian future. That they are tied to Meta does not help.
- petersumskas 10mo agoYes! I have a similar reaction. I often think of Jack Vance’s “Eyes of the Overworld”. They hid the reality of a decaying world behind a fabulous facade.
- boogieknite 10mo agotfa floated a possible shift to "wearable AI devices" which isnt as blatantly aggressive. while it seems impossible for any of these to be as immersive, their number and ubiquity seems more insidiously intrusive to me
