First of all, all of these eye computers are dumb, but at least Meta's Ray Bans look more or less like normal glasses. Even Google Glass was sleeker looking than these, and that was 13 years ago. I don't know what Snap is thinking.

The person I was replying to said the researchers misunderstood how the models work, but there's nothing in the report to indicate that is the case.

It's also beside the point. They said oil prices "barely changed" but whatever their definition of "barely" is, they changed enough to bankrupt a big company.
