Wish we could show Sergey how we’ve been able to use Google Glass to massive impact on the lives of people who are blind or have low vision, with @LetsEnvision
Google Glass were a great product and an important one to set in motion the wearable revolution we’re seeing now. Internet, do your thing! Let’s make Sergey feel good!
Interesting to hear Sergey Brin talk about Google Glass, Apple Vision Pro and the “Oculuses”.
- Says “I feel like I messed up Google Glass”. Crowd goes “aww”. Adds that he would have done a bunch of things differently now. One of his mistakes being pushing it as a product when it was more of a prototype.
- Has played with AVP and Oculuses and finds them impressive.
- His personal preference is still in the lightweight, minimal approach of Google Glass vs “the big heavy things we have today”.

Wanneer je behoefte om moslims als inherent barbaars neer te zetten zo groot is, dat je bereid bent Nazi's te whitewashen en een rabbijn dat met groot enthousiasme onderschrijft.
Alles, maar dan ook alles ervoor over hebben om het Palestijnse volk dat nu uitgemoord wordt, van wie de helft kinderen, niet als mensen te zien, maar te dehumaniseren tot collateral damage dat het verdient om dood te gaan, ook als dat betekent dat je nazi's een beetje moet prijzen.
De wereld is officieel gek geworden en ik verlies echt elke dag iets meer de hoop dat we dit nog recht kunnen zetten.
This is the best interview I have EVER seen.
Ever; ever; ever; nothing comes close.
Douglas Murrey has a heart – and mind – of gold.
And what unfolds in this seven-minute clip is something you need to watch for yourself. (Once you see it halfway through, you’ll know exactly what I’m referring to.)
But he articulates something which I have been trying to share for the past month:
The Nazis, as fundamentally evil as they were, believed that they were engaging in a necessary evil for an ultimate good; they still had a spark of humanity at their core; thus, their main flaw was that they believed the ends justified the means; even though they fully believed in the “result” of a world without Jews, they were still fundamentally opposed to the “actions” they were taking.
This is what motivated the Nazis to find ways of circumventing the existential moral decay they were entering, and allowed them to get creative by using the gas chambers, mass shootings (in the BACK of the head – to avoid direct facial contact), and other passive forms of mass annihilation, while also having as few Nazis as possible actually involved in these acts of murder; they then encouraged those individuals who were involved in this atrocity of mass murder to get drunk every night in order to wash away the person they started seeing in the mirror.
Thus, the existential decay of these individual Nazis actively involved in the mass murder of the Jewish People was simply seen as another layer of “the ends justify the means.”
They were the epitome of “Western” evil.
Hamas is the exact opposite.
This IS their value system.
They prize death, murder, rape, suicide missions, and everything that opposes the very foundation of values and truth to begin with.
The events of October 7th was not an end to a means… there is no future goal… this IS the goal.
They are the epitome of an evil the likes of which we have never before seen.
Please – I know this is social media and some people only watch 60-second soundbites; but please, please, please watch this brilliant interview.
Douglas Murray – you are a credit to everything worth being credited.

What shocked me about SF was how nonchalant the locals were about this whole homelessness/drug abuse situation right in the heart of the city

Been playing with @OpenAI ChatGPT and Envision Glasses document recognition. Blown away by some of the results! 🤯
Ready or not, the AI revolution is coming!
We have been playing around with the new 'Ask Envision' feature on the Envision Glasses, which leverages @OpenAI ChatGPT to provide intelligent answers. We have been blown away by some of the early results.

Interesting find: China has the most interest in ChatGPT by a huge margin according to Google Trends.
The US ranked just 25th for the search term.

We’ve all rightfully been taken by LLMs and how impressive the current state-of-the-art is.
But, don’t sleep on computer vision. The progress is similarly insane.
