This App Warns You if Someone Is Wearing Smart Glasses Nearby

“Name Tag,” as the feature is called, would let smart glasses wearers identify people and get information about them from Meta’s AI assistant, the report said. Is there any benign use for such a feature? It's like they're deliberately marketing this thing to stalkers.

I'm tired of customers taking pictures of me

What’s making me nervous is the trend of folks wearing those RayBan Meta Glasses. I’ve seen reels and videos of customers doing things at the register to get a reaction from crew members. The name tags are shown and we see the POV of the customer interaction. The lack of consent and regulation on th

Vibe coding 🤮

The solution is simple, just ask Claude to write a code that recognizes the word "vibcode" and replace it with "prompt monkey" or "slop jockey". Then upload it to your Ray-Ban Meta glasses.
