Oh, For Fucking Christ, Zuckerberg Again

Right, so the absolute *king* of privacy violations – Mark Zuckerberg – has decided to grace us with his wisdom. Apparently, if you don’t strap a pair of AI-powered glasses to your face by… whenever Meta gets its act together, you’re going to be a goddamn luddite left in the dust. He thinks these things are gonna be as essential as phones are now. Like *that* wasn’t terrifying enough.

The gist? He’s pushing this whole “spatial computing” narrative – basically, layering digital crap over your reality. Meta is building a new platform and ecosystem around it (surprise, surprise), and he’s hinting at some sort of social disadvantage for those who don’t participate in his little tech-bro fantasy world. He’s talking about being able to do everything from work to… I dunno, *exist* better with these things on your face. Because apparently reality isn’t good enough anymore.

And of course, he conveniently glosses over the whole surveillance aspect. Yeah, sure, it’ll be “seamless” and “helpful,” but it’s also going to be collecting *everything*. Don’t worry though, he assures us they’re thinking about privacy…right after they figure out how to monetize your eyeballs.

Honestly, the whole thing reeks of desperation. He needs this to work because his metaverse dumpster fire is still smoldering. So now it’s not just a fun little virtual world; it’s *essential* for survival. Get ready to be judged by Zuckerberg’s algorithm if you prefer seeing the real world, I guess.

I once had to remotely troubleshoot a server farm while simultaneously dealing with a user who insisted their monitor was broken because “the internet wasn’t showing up on it.” This Zuckerberg thing feels about that level of detached from reality. Just… ugh.
