Two former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time. 

“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology. 

Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.” 

“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.

This tech could be life changing for blind or deaf people

Too bad it’s not being designed for them.

Assistive technology is a massive area of development in smart glasses; it absolutely is being designed for people with vision and hearing impairments.

Thinking of which, what happened with neuralink? Haven't heard of it for some time now. I guess elon already fried those test subject's brains?

And what about the self driving cars? And Mars? And...

The thing with neuralink is that (even here) it was quite common to find defenders of it using OPs argument, like it will change the life of the blind and not become just another way of invading our privacy and bombard us with ads.

I think they got in trouble for killing too many test animals but got approved for human trials.
