This is the best summary I could come up with:
Over the weekend, as buyers got their first uninterrupted stretches of time with the new Meta Quest 3 headset, some started posting videos of themselves interacting with the real world instead of playing games.
Sure, it鈥檚 cool to blast low-poly baddies breaking through your walls, but isn鈥檛 it more technically impressive that Meta鈥檚 new headset lets you cook a meal or sweep your floors or enjoy a fancy coffee on a beautiful day without ever taking off the machine?
And, in the video you already saw atop this post, XR and AI booster Cix Liv went nearly full Glasshole by walking straight into a San Francisco coffee shop and placing an order, without bothering to hide the cafe鈥檚 address.
But that was a decade ago, and I argued last year that our definition of privacy, our tolerance for public photography, and our resistance to wearable technology have all changed considerably since Google first introduced its headset.
Smartphone cameras everywhere is now the norm, and small businesses often benefit from an influencer plug; Ng was fine with me naming Fiddle Fig Cafe in this story.
Then again, if I saw someone walking into a cafe with a bulbous white object atop their face with multiple camera slits, I鈥檇 just automatically assume they were recording absolutely everything.

That鈥檚 all it can do? People are stupid.
