Damnit, I didn’t want anything to do with AR until I read this. I am so horrible with names, that I would possibly consider those goofy rear end ski goggles if that actually became a thing.

none of these people are doing actual work even in the context of utterly bullshit jobs, they're just addicts who use their workspace to fulfill their need for literally constant social connection at the expense of everyone around them

Not quite right - it's not even released yet, but people think it'll be a failure just from the jazzed up marketing materials. So ... Probably gonna be worse when it bombs for real.

Of course, since I'm saying this, it'll probably succeed when it comes out, and number will do what number does best.

The Battle of Blair Mountain started over some Pinkertons evicting women and children from company housing. They were shot over it.

A century later and people don't even notice when their neighbors get evicted, society is thoroughly atomized. In modern America when your neighbors fall on hard times they just quietly leave your artificial suburban community and cease to exist.

correct. it also helps Americans unilaterally all hate their neighbors and alienated from the dreaded evil masses who just want to do things to annoy you, the homeowner, personally

Yep. The only future for models like this right now is single instance data generation built off small models. It makes sense as a replacement copywriter or a digital administrative assistant for a giant manufacturing firm. It won't ever make sense as software as a service for small to medium businesses which is the entire ecosystem they need to operate in to actually impact society in the way they're pitching.

Nobody has the compute cycles for this and the second openai/etc stops subsidizing the offering the interest is going to dry up.

Americans also have drastically more trust in the system than most will admit. Like the typical person will not accept that their bank is trying to steal their home from them, because that really takes an extreme amount of class consciousness that's been thoroughly beaten out of the average American.

Lots of people will say "gently caress the rich," but it's a much bigger leap to realize that the wealthy are your actual enemies and they are actively stealing from you and don't give a poo poo if you die/become homeless as a result of that theft.

I just don't see it

Mobile carriers aren't gonna subsidize this like they do iphones and MacBooks are popular but also happen to offer student discounts that make them competitive with PC notebooks. This product is priced like the highest end Mac computers without the subsidy pipeline or utilitarian use cases their other offerings have. The expense is high, difficult to defray, and difficult to justify. At a time when consumer credit is already being pushed beyond it's breaking point.

Apple has surprised me before but this product succeeding would be on par with a religious miracle

And it has to be pushed back, both to avoid the minor chance of this tick finding a vessel and sucking on, and to kill this trash before it does too much damage to the economy.
