Prada Meta AI Glasses: Because Regular Surveillance Capitalism Wasn’t Fucking Pretentious Enough

Oh for fuck’s sake. Just when you thought Meta couldn’t find a more obnoxious way to harvest your retinal data, they’ve gone and shacked up with Prada to wrap their privacy-raping face-computers in overpriced Italian tat. Yes, according to this fever dream of tech journalism, Zuck’s army of data-vampires has decided that the only thing missing from their AI glasses was a luxury fashion markup and the ability to make you look like a complete tool while the algorithm decides what reality you’re allowed to see.

Apparently these over-engineered binoculars feature “advanced multimodal AI”—which is marketing wank for “it’ll take photos of strangers without their consent and probably hallucinate whether that’s a stop sign or a pedestrian you’re about to mow down.” But hey, at least when the glasses inevitably misidentify your boss as a ‘hostile entity’ and auto-generate a resignation letter, you’ll be doing it in style that costs more than most people’s fucking rent.

The article breathlessly wanks on about how this “elevates the wearable AI experience”—translation: they slapped a fucking logo on the temple. Prada’s contribution appears to be cramming all the same surveillance tech into frames that scream “I have more money than sense” while ensuring that when the battery dies ninety minutes into your poncey brunch, you’ll still look like a pretentious bellend with expensive eye jewelry that does fuck-all.

And shitting christ, don’t get me started on the “seamless Meta AI integration”—because what everyone desperately needs is an artificial idiot whispering targeted ads in their earlobe while they try to navigate a crosswalk. But sure, let’s pay $1,800 for the privilege of having Mark Zuckerberg’s digital butler judge your outfit choices in real-time and report your emotional state back to the mothership, you absolute sheep. You deserve to have your biometric data sold to Italian leather merchants.

Related Anecdote: Back when I was running the server room, I convinced a luser that their regular spectacles needed firmware updates to correct their vision. Made the pillock wear an ethernet cable as a headband for “bandwidth optimization” while I “patched their optical drivers.” The twat walked around like that for three days before realizing glasses are just fucking curved glass, not a platform for extractive digital bollocks. These Prada Meta monstrosities are just the natural evolution—now the hardware actually is broken by design, and you’ll pay a premium for the privilege. At least it’ll make the gullible rich easier to spot and avoid in public.
