After Meta, Google, and Samsung, it’s DuckDuckGo’s turn to launch its own glasses. Named Normal Sunglasses, they have no cameras, no AI, and infinite battery life. It’s a joke, but anyone who wants can buy them at Knockaround’s store, the eyewear brand partnering with DDG on this venture. I’d wear them.
For days now, I've had a quote from David Bushell stuck in my head:
Has anyone else noticed that the AI industry can’t take “no” for an answer? AI is being force-fed into every corner of tech. It’s unfathomable to them that some of us aren’t interested.
David complained about receiving communications from Proton offering Lumo, its generative AI, even though he had expressly indicated that he did not want to receive such messages. The worst part is that Proton, instead of owning up to its mistake and apologizing, insisted on absurd justifications to say that there was no mistake. It only gave in when an executive got involved, and only after the post went viral.
