The squad is complete again! We get into AI wearables: rings, necklaces, even earrings, after Dave hints his stealth ring startup is almost ready. Waymo quietly rolls out SF–San Jose service (still no freeways), while private-jet owners email senators about the shutdown. The squad goes over Andy Rubin's humanoid robotics launch, Sam's backwards Panopticon sign, Apple's Issey Miyake iPhone “sock/pocket,” and that Slow's etiquette school is now getting international interest. We wrap with Janitor AI's romance boom, Sam building an AI kids-podcast pipeline with ElevenLabs, Brit wanting McConaughey to voice romance, Jess taking an Instagram detox, and more.Chapters:01:18 AI in interior design and AI slop; Why AI commerce still feels broken04:59 Apple week iPhone Air vs Pro08:49 Wearable AI flood Ray-Bans, rings, and other wearables15:32 Jess deletes Instagram and maybe email21:05 Multitasking vs focus23:32 Andy Rubin's new robotics company27:15 SORON reveal and home deterrence roadmap29:15 Military research to practical deterrent systems30:29 Panopticon conference room and GDPR simplification32:29 Waymo expansion and route quirks35:35 Apple Issey Miyake iPhone pocket sock38:40 Slow's Etiquette Finishing school goes global44:50 The Lessin Family AI generated kids podcast49:06 BBC scandal media bias and blowback54:12 Lawfare the financialization of lawsuitsWe're also on ↓X: https://twitter.com/moreorlesspodInstagram: https://instagram.com/moreorlessYouTube: https://youtu.be/pA20Sk63yYEConnect with us here:1) Sam Lessin: https://x.com/lessin2) Dave Morin: https://x.com/davemorin3) Jessica Lessin: https://x.com/Jessicalessin4) Brit Morin: https://x.com/brit
De slimme bril maakt is bezig met een comeback. Waar eerdere modellen, zoals Google Glass en Snap Spectacles, nooit verder kwamen dan nicheproducten, probeert Meta met de Ray-Ban Display de stap te zetten naar een breder publiek. Het apparaat, voorlopig alleen verkrijgbaar in de Verenigde Staten voor 799 dollar, combineert een traditioneel zonnebrildesign, met een wat dik montuur, met een klein ingebouwd scherm dat informatie in het gezichtsveld projecteert. In het rechterglas is een minidisplay verwerkt waarop de drager meldingen, navigatie-informatie en berichten kan zien. Dat beeld is niet zichtbaar voor omstanders en is scherp genoeg om in daglicht te lezen. De bediening verloopt via een aparte polsband, genaamd 'Neural Band' met sensoren die kleine hand- en vingerbewegingen registreren. Daarmee kan de gebruiker menu’s openen, door toepassingen bladeren en de ingebouwde spraakassistent aanroepen. Tijdens gebruik blijkt dat systeem echter nog niet vlekkeloos te werken. De bediening vergt gewenning en de sensoren reageren niet altijd precies. Ook het schermformaat is beperkt: de projectie verschijnt alleen in het rechteroog en kan na enige tijd vermoeiend zijn. Van echte augmented reality is bovendien geen sprake – de bril projecteert geen digitale objecten over de werkelijkheid, maar toont enkel een klein informatiescherm in de periferie van het zicht. De Ray-Ban Display is technisch gezien een stap vooruit ten opzichte van eerdere slimme brillen, maar nog geen volwaardig consumentenproduct. Meta laat zien dat het mogelijk is om geavanceerde displaytechniek in een draagbare vorm te gieten zonder opvallend uiterlijk, al gaat dat nog ten koste van gebruiksgemak en functionaliteit. Het ontwerp en de afwerking zijn degelijk, het meegeleverde oplaadetui is praktisch, maar de bril blijft vooral een demonstratie van potentie. Wie de Ray-Ban Display opzet, krijgt een glimp van hoe een toekomst met slimme brillen eruit zou kunnen zien – maar ook een herinnering aan hoe ver die toekomst nog verwijderd is. Het volledige oordeel hoor je in De Schaal van HebbenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're talking about product placement.我们在谈植入式广告。Product placement, also known as embedded marketing, has grown both on TV and on the big screen.植入式广告，也称为嵌入式行销，在电视和大银幕上都越来越常见。OK, OK, Jackie, I've heard of product placement but what exactly is it?好，好，Jackie，我听说过植入式广告，但它到底是什么呢？Well, basically it means a deliberate inclusion of a product or a brand for promotional purposes.简单来说，就是为了宣传目的而刻意把产品或品牌放入内容中。If we think about, Richard, think about the 1986 film, Top Gun, right?如果我们想一下，Richard，想想1986年的电影《壮志凌云》，对吧？Oh, one of my favourites.哦，那是我最喜欢的电影之一。Now there's a particular product worn by many of the characters but especially by Tom Cruise, Maverick, right?片中很多角色都戴了一样特定产品，尤其是汤姆·克鲁斯扮演的Maverick，对吗？I know this, I know this, he's so cool, isn't he? Because of the aviator sunglasses.我知道，我知道，他超级酷，对吧？因为那副飞行员太阳镜。Yeah, so... Ray-Bans.对，就是……雷朋（Ray-Ban）。Exactly. Now, they're a brand of luxury sunglasses, right?没错，它们是一个高端太阳镜品牌，对吧？And they became hugely popular then, didn't they?而且当时变得非常流行，对不对？They struck a deal with the producers so that in the film, Tom Cruise and his fellow Navy colleagues wore aviators.他们跟制作方达成了合作，所以电影里汤姆·克鲁斯和他的海军同袍都戴了飞行员墨镜。You said they became hugely popular.你刚才说它们变得非常流行。As a result, the sales of aviator sunglasses rose by 40%.结果飞行员太阳镜的销量上涨了40%。Wow, good deal.哇，真是一笔好交易。Yeah.没错。OK, another film, Richard, I want you to think about another film, right?好，Richard，再想一部电影。Year 2000, big film, Cast Away.2000年的一部大电影，《浩劫重生》。Tom Hanks, right?汤姆·汉克斯，对吧？Tom Hanks.汤姆·汉克斯。What was a significant product placement, do you think, in that film?你觉得那部电影里最明显的产品植入是什么？Well, I can't think of one because he was abandoned on a desert island.呃，我想不到，因为他不是被困在荒岛上吗？Who did he work for?他之前在哪工作？Did he work for a courier company?他是不是在一家快递公司工作？Yeah, yeah, throughout the film, references to this courier company.对，整部电影里都提到这家快递公司。They obviously went over my head.显然我没注意到。Was it FedEx?是联邦快递（FedEx）吗？Yes.对。Yeah. Now, the interesting thing was, when they wrote the film, when they produced the film, they wanted it to be real life.对，有趣的是，电影编剧和制作团队想让电影看起来真实。Right, OK.嗯，好的。So, they didn't want to make up a courier, a transport company.所以他们不想凭空虚构一个快递或运输公司。Right.没错。So, they wrote to FedEx and said, can our hero be a FedEx employee?于是他们写信给联邦快递，问：我们的主角能是你们的员工吗？Now, they read the script and they said no.联邦快递看了剧本后说不行。Oh.哦？Well, what happens in the film?电影里发生了什么？Well, he crashes, doesn't he? The FedEx plane...他不是坠机了吗？联邦快递的飞机……The FedEx plane crashes, so that's not very good.联邦快递的飞机坠毁，这看起来不太好。But then they realised that the overall...但后来他们意识到整体……Yes, overall, it was... everything happened... everything was well in the end.对，总体来说……最后一切都很好。Yes, of course.是的，当然。And as a result of the film, FedEx became much more famous in Asia and Europe, not just in the US.而且因为这部电影，联邦快递在亚洲和欧洲也变得更有名了，不仅是在美国。So, two films.所以，这两部电影。In the first film, Ray-Ban paid for their product placement.在第一部电影里，雷朋为植入付了钱。In the second film, FedEx didn't pay.在第二部电影里，联邦快递没有付钱。Now, in those two films, the products appeared throughout the whole film.在这两部电影里，那些产品从头到尾一直出现。Right, yes.对，是的。They were key parts of the film.它们是电影的重要元素。Yes.没错。But, however, it is possible for a few seconds to change a company's fortune.但是，有时候只需要几秒钟就能改变一家公司的命运。Oh, do tell.哦，说来听听。In 2020, Parasite became the first non-English language film to win an Oscar in the Best Picture category.2020年，《寄生虫》成为第一部获得奥斯卡最佳影片的非英语电影。Do you know what nationality the director is?你知道导演是哪国人吗？Is he Spanish or Italian?他是西班牙人还是意大利人？South Korean.韩国人。Ah, yes. It's a South Korean.啊，对，是韩国的。But it's interesting because there is the Spanish connection here.但有趣的是，这里还和西班牙有点关系。In one of the scenes, very briefly, a can of crisps called Bonilla a la Vista appeared on the film.在其中一个场景里，有一款叫Bonilla a la Vista的薯片罐短暂出现了一下。Very, very briefly.非常非常短暂。And sales went through the roof.然后销量爆炸性增长。Well, it was already a recognised brand in South Korea, but as soon as they saw it in the film, which was hugely popular, the sales have rocketed.其实它在韩国本来就有知名度，但因为电影太火了，一出现销量就飙升。It surged by 150%.销量增长了150%。Wow.哇。I tell you what, though, Jackie, we've got loads of members from South Korea.不过你知道吗，Jackie，我们有很多韩国用户。It would have been fantastic if, on the film, one of the characters would have been listening to podcastsandenglish.com.如果电影里有角色在听 podcastsandenglish.com，那就太棒了。That would have been something.那就真的厉害了。
We have something of a Meta Ray-Bans smart glasses bumper episode this week. We start with Joseph and Jason's piece on a $60 mod that disables the privacy-protecting recording light in the smart glasses. After the break, Emanuel tells us how some people are abusing the glasses to film massage workers, and he explains the difference between a phone and a pair of smartglasses, if you need that spelled out for you. In the subscribers-only section, Jason tells us about the future of advertising: AI-generated ads personalized directly to you.

Put on your Ray-Bans and buckle up — this week we're diving deep into the neon, sweat, and swagger of early Tom Cruise. Three eras, three egos, one impossible decision: which movie moves one step closer to our Tom Cruise Film Festival lineup?We break down Risky Business (1983), the film that made Cruise a star; Cocktail (1988), the glossy ode to ambition and regret; and Days of Thunder (1990), where Cruise takes his intensity to the racetrack. Along the way, we talk capitalism, charisma, and the best way to end a Tom Cruise movie.From sliding in your socks to racing toward the finish line, it's a full throttle conversation about all things Cruise.Will Joel Goodson's hustle, Brian Flanagan's charm, or Cole Trickle's need for speed take the win? Tune in to find out.-------------------------------------------------------------email: openmicmovies@latertaterfilms.comwebsite: openmicmovies.buzzsprout.cominstagram: @latertaterfilms

We open with a sobering follow-up: the future is less about AI toast (though Red Dwarf predicted it) and more about a soul-stripping "infrastructure of meaningless" after an AWS outage proved how fragile the internet is. Corporate overlords, like Elon Musk, are taking note: he finally addressed Starlink's use by Asian scam syndicates, but his attention is mostly on superintelligence, which Wozniak, Prince Harry, and 800 others want banned. Meanwhile, Meta, despite pouring $27 billion into data centers, suddenly cut 600 AI jobs, and Amazon is preparing to automate a half-million warehouse positions, offering drivers AR spy glasses and suggesting a new "Help Me Decide" AI tool to automate the exhausting micro-decision of which air fryer to buy. This dystopian fever dream peaked when Suzanne Somers' widower revealed he built a full-on robotic AI twin of the late actress. Predictably, Tesla stock tumbled, and the crypto grift continued with the pardoning of Binance founder Zhao, leaving SBF to ponder his failed check-bounce in jail.Speaking of soul-crushing, Disney's latest nostalgia raid, Tron: Ares, tanked harder than anticipated, proving not every Gen-X intellectual property is a worthy cash cow. But fear not, there's still great TV to be had: we recommend the clever dramas Slow Horses and The Diplomat Season 3, the high-stakes culinary nightmare Knives Edge: Chasing Michelin Stars, and the surprisingly excellent Gen V (which you must watch before the next season of The Boys). We also got our fix with the Pluribus trailer, Bullet Train, Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, and the deliciously low-stakes reality shows Come Dine With Me, Hotel Costiera, and The Celebrity Traitors UK/Canada. Sadly, we must mourn the end of Food Network's The Kitchen. Yet, no matter how good the show, you still have to deal with Ticketmaster, which is still lying about "fighting bots" while cornering the secondary market.In the world of Apps & Doodads, OpenAI dropped its "Anti-Web" browser, ChatGPT Atlas (a data mule in disguise), and a new app now fakes your vacation photos (perfect for burned-out users). X is poised to sell "rare" usernames for millions (with a terrible subscription catch), while some clever hacker figured out a $60 mod to disable the privacy light on Meta's Ray-Ban spy glasses. Fellow podcast host Dave Bittner joined us to agree that the new Hall of Presidents format is better without the political posturing and confirmed the joy of old-school, purple-ink-smelling Spirit Duplicators (and we checked out a Star Wars fan film trailer for the AT THE LIBRARY section).

Meta Connect had hiccups—but did it just spark the mainstream AR era? XR developer Tom Krikorian (Studio 84) joins Ely Santos to unpack first impressions of Ray-Ban Display, why the EMG wristband is the real breakthrough, and what devs need before this market explodes. We get candid about Horizon Worlds, Meta's SDK (or lack of it), and Apple's tight ecosystem + on-device AI advantage. In this episode:Hands-on with Ray-Ban Display: one-eye HUD, real-world navigation, where it shines—and where it strains. The wristband wow-factor: finger-level intent control that finally feels ready for prime time. Developer reality check: unstable stacks, shifting roadmaps, and why an SDK + clear monetization path are non-negotiable. Meta vs. Apple: open ambitions vs. end-to-end optimization (iPhone, processors, on-device AI). Who's better positioned? Early use cases that actually stick: notifications without the phone, live captions, travel translation, and accessibility. The Horizon Worlds debate: chasing Roblox—or losing the VR plot? Guest: Tom Krikorian — visionOS/XR developer, Studio 84; Host: Ely Santos — Metavertising Podcast. If you're building for XR—or betting your brand on the next wave of consumer wearables—this is your field guide to what's real, what's hype, and what's coming next.

Daniel and Adam kick off with late-start jokes and “10/10” chatter, then dive into cake economics: Zach's plan for a pricey Cake Bake Shop “Meet Santa” dinner (three courses, cocktails, photo, gift) gets the thumbs-up. Daniel recounts Big Fatty's 14-second “lost episode” and teases Adam about Big Brother spoilers, lobs love at Critical Role's new campaign, and laments not being able to dish on Strange New Worlds yet. A long catch-up follows: Adam's brutal illness (two weeks, 17 pounds lost) and the truly cursed lab quest—freezing and chilling stool samples at home—followed by Daniel's syphilis treatment saga (penicillin shortages, $1,700 quote, doxycycline workaround), an unwanted no-show fee, and the Drury Hotel refund survey cherry on top.Contact arrives with a flood of voicemails for the Celebrity Death Phone (callers insist “Giorgio Armani, 91” among others), plus a chewing-gum-behind-the-ear query and HOA confusion from abroad. Daniel explains why HOAs are ubiquitous in U.S. suburbs, including the uglier history; Adam shares how that plays out for his partner while Daniel compares fees across neighborhoods. The hosts shout out Level 13 and especially Brian for valiantly stirring Discord conversation.They spin up the Technology sting to answer Brian's LLM prompt question: Daniel shares his “checklist, revise, validate” instruction pattern and suggests asking the model to draft stricter prompts that don't blow smoke. Instead of The News Game, Adam runs a speed-round trivia burst (Back to the Future aliens, New Orleans Square, etc.). Adam closes with Switzerland highlights—Zurich chocolate, Lucerne, Grindelwald in the mist, panoramic trains, Interlaken lake cruise—plus high drama: leaving a bag with his passport on a train, scrambling for an emergency passport in Bern, then miraculously getting the bag (and Ray-Bans) back after returning home.Email: Contact@MixMinusPodcast.comVoice/SMS: 707-613-3284

IA, créativité, diversification : les 3 leviers de Meta pour booster vos performances e-commerceDans cet épisode enregistré au One to One Expérience Client 2025 à Biarritz, je reçois Mathieu Delecourt, Industry Lead chez Meta, en charge des verticales mode, beauté, e-commerce et CPG. Il accompagne des marques comme Polène, Cezane ou Maison 123 dans l'optimisation de leurs stratégies paid sur l'écosystème Meta (Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp...).On passe en revue les trois grandes priorités stratégiques de Meta pour 2025 :IA + Performance : améliorer le rendement des campagnesL'IA est au cœur des investissements chez Meta. Mathieu insiste sur les avancées concrètes dans les outils de ciblage, d'optimisation des budgets et d'automatisation des formats. Les algorithmes sont plus puissants, mais nécessitent une qualité de signal irréprochable, notamment via l'API Conversions. On parle aussi du retour des campagnes de type “broad targeting”, où c'est l'IA qui fait tout.Créativité : se démarquer dans un feed saturéLa créa est redevenue un élément central de la performance. Meta mise sur des outils comme Advantage+ Creative ou le Dynamic Creative pour adapter automatiquement les formats à chaque audience. Mathieu partage aussi l'exemple de Polène, qui s'appuie sur des visuels natifs, immersifs, et parfaitement adaptés à Instagram. Les meilleures campagnes combinent automatisation et travail éditorial.Diversification : élargir les cas d'usage et les points de contactAu-delà d'Instagram et Facebook, Meta pousse désormais WhatsApp comme canal relationnel et transactionnel. Il cite le cas de Maison 123, qui l'utilise pour du clienteling digital. Autre levier : l'omnicanalité, illustrée par la campagne de Bash, où les publicités Meta renvoient vers les magasins physiques. On évoque enfin les innovations comme Meta Connect ou les Ray-Ban Meta, qui annoncent une évolution plus immersive de la plateforme.
Time now for our daily Tech and Business Report. It's been almost a month since Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg showed off the company's new Ray-Ban Display smart glasses. For more, KCBS Radio anchor Matt Bigler spoke with Bloomberg's Mark Gurman.
In this episode of TechMagic, hosts Cathy Hackl and Lee Kebler unpack the week's biggest tech stories, from OpenAI's latest announcements and Sora's deepfake potential to Meta's sold-out Ray-Ban smart glasses. They explore how AI integrations with platforms like Coursera, Canva, and Zillow could reshape how we access and trust information. The hosts also dive into the implications of skyrocketing AI startup valuations and reflect on the end of AOL dial-up, closing a chapter in internet history. Balancing enthusiasm with caution, they challenge listeners to consider the ethical, social, and creative consequences of an increasingly AI-driven world.Come for the tech and stay for the magic!Episode Highlights:The Privacy Implications of AI Video Generation – Cathy Hackl's hands-on test of OpenAI's Sora exposes major privacy challenges around biometric data and deepfake creation. By simply reading numbers and moving one's head, users can generate hyper-realistic videos of themselves or others, without consent. While visuals are striking, voice replication remains flawed. Cathy and Lee caution that such tools blur ethical lines, raising urgent questions about consent, authenticity, and data ownership in creative AI adoption.OpenAI's Vision for Information Control – Lee Kebler dissects OpenAI's ambition to centralise online experiences through deep integrations with Coursera, Canva, and Zillow. By keeping users inside ChatGPT's ecosystem, OpenAI could redefine how information flows, but at a cost. Cathy and Lee warn that algorithmic filtering may restrict perspective diversity, amplify bias, and erode the open web's foundational freedom. Their advice: diversify digital sources to maintain balanced, transparent information access.The Rise of Consumer AR Hardware – Meta's Ray-Ban smart glasses sell-out reveals the next leap in wearable adoption. Cathy and Lee analyse how fashion-forward design, practical utility, and accessible pricing have made AR more approachable. Positioned between novelty and necessity, these wearables hint at future accessibility, productivity, and communication uses. They stress that long-term success will depend on ergonomic design, battery life, and balancing innovation with real-world wearability.The AI Investment Bubble Warning Signs – Cathy and Lee discuss mounting worries from industry giants like Sam Altman and Jeff Bezos about inflated AI valuations. Unlike past bubbles driven by retail hype, today's surge stems from institutional overconfidence and misunderstanding of AI fundamentals. Many investors conflate general AI with LLMs, fuelling unrealistic expectations.

Here's a look at CNET Editor at Large Scott Stein's Sora 2 video where he reviews a pair of Meta Ray-Bans.
September 2025 Edition Hosted by Thomas Domville, Dave Nason, and John GassmanWelcome to the September 2025 edition of Apple Crunch, where we break down the biggest Apple stories and explore what they mean for the blind and low-vision community. This month, we dive into a wide range of updates—from AppleVis itself getting a major facelift, to a critical VoiceOver bug fix in iOS 26.0.1, to Apple's highly anticipated September hardware event with its mix of bold moves and controversial compromises.We also take a closer look at rumors of a new budget-friendly MacBook that could redefine Apple's entry-level lineup, while across the tech landscape Meta is making aggressive plays in AR, VR, and AI that may shape the competition for years to come. Rounding things out, we announce the launch of two exciting new AppleVis series: Gamers Corner, a podcast dedicated to accessible play, and AnonyMouse's App Pick of the Month, a blog feature highlighting standout apps.There's a lot happening this fall, and we're here to make sure you don't miss the updates that matter most.Mentions in This Show: The Crunchy ChaptersA Fresh Look for AppleVis The redesigned AppleVis website brings a cleaner interface, smoother navigation, and a better mobile experience for the accessibility community. Early feedback highlights easier movement across devices, though some longtime users are already looking ahead to future refinements like personalization and faster forums.Apple's Quick Save: VoiceOver Users Get Relief in iOS 26.0.1 Apple wasted no time releasing iOS 26.0.1, a vital patch that fixed a critical VoiceOver bug. For blind and low-vision users who rely on consistency, the update restores confidence and underlines Apple's responsiveness when accessibility issues arise.Apple's Big Reveal: Hits, Misses, and Maybes The September event delivered the lightweight iPhone Air, the redesigned iPhone 17 Pro with its shift from titanium to aluminum, and the upgraded AirPods Pro 3. While innovation was on display, compromises in display, materials, and battery life sparked spirited debates about Apple's direction.The Ghost MacBook: Hiding in Plain Sight? Rumors of a budget-friendly MacBook powered by Apple's upcoming A18 chip hint at a big play for students and first-time Mac buyers. History, however, shows Apple's “affordable” MacBooks often struggle to last. Could this be the one that sticks—or another ghost in the product vault?Meta Moves In: Beyond the Headset At Meta Connect 2025, new Ray-Ban and Oakley smart glasses, expanded AI companions, and mixed reality initiatives showed the company doubling down on mainstream wearables. The contrast with Apple's high-end Vision Pro is striking: Apple pursues polish, while Meta races for ubiquity.Announcing Gamers Corner: A Podcast for Accessible Play We're thrilled to introduce Gamers Corner, a new AppleVis podcast dedicated to the world of gaming and accessibility. Hosted by passionate gamers from within the community, this show brings together reviews, insights, and discussions about the latest accessible titles, platforms, and trends. It's designed as a space for blind and low-vision players to stay informed, share experiences, and celebrate how far accessible…

I did an interview with Norm Chan at Meta Connect about the Meta Ray-Ban Display Glasses and Meta Neural Band. Be sure to watch Chan's full 58-minute Tested.com report including an interview with Meta CTO Andrew "Boz" Bosworth as his hands-on impressions of the biggest announcement at Meta Connect 2025. You can also see more context in the rough transcript below. This kicks off my Meta Connect 2025 coverage, and I'll be including about a dozen interviews that I did on site that will also be unpacking different news and reactions to Meta's emphasis of AI-driven wearables, and what's happening within the broader XR industry and VR gaming ecosystem.

I did an interview with Scott Stein at Meta Connect 2025 reflecting on the biggest news of the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses and the associated Neural Band. Stein has been covering the XR industry since 2012, and always has some deep thoughts on the broader implications of the latest news. You can check out his hands-on first impressions in his CNET video here, and his interview with Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth here. Stein and I had a chance to catch up after the day 1 Meta Connect keynote announcements, and also speculate on the future of the ecosystem in around the Meta Ray-Ban Display Glasses. The Meta Wearables Device Access Toolkit wasn't announced until the following day at the end of the developer keynote at Meta Connect, but there still hasn't been any announcement about if or when third-party developers will get access to develop apps for it as Meta seems content to focus on their own first-party apps at the launch of the device today.

Paul Travers, founder and CEO of Vuzix Corporation, returns to join hosts Charlie Fink, Ted Schilowitz, and Rony Abovitz for a masterclass in enterprise XR resilience and the long game of hardware innovation. As the architect behind the world's first consumer VR headset (the VFX1 in 1992), Travers has survived every boom and bust cycle in wearable technology for over three decades. Now publicly traded with 80,000 shareholders, Vuzix represents what Rony calls "the GameStop of XR"—a dramatically undervalued company ($200M market cap) that could become the consolidation hub for smaller XR startups while taking on tech giants with superior enterprise focus and manufacturing capabilities.The episode opens with the hosts' unfiltered critique of Meta's recent Connect announcements, where Rony argues that despite $100+ billion invested in Reality Labs, Meta's Ray-Ban display glasses represent minimal advancement over the original Google Glass—a "disappointing" return that small startups with minimal funding are already surpassing. This sets the stage for deeper discussions about Neon, the controversial app paying users $800/month to record conversations for AI training (which Rony compares to Neal Stephenson's "gargoyles" from Snow Crash), and Meta AI's new "Vibes" feed that separates AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake concerns.Guest HighlightsTravers pulls back the curtain on three decades of XR survival:The "Lindy Effect" advantage—how Vuzix's longevity through multiple extinction events creates predictive value for continued success, like "alligators surviving when everything else didn't make it"Enterprise-first strategy—why focusing on warehouse workers, Amazon distribution centers, and pharmaceutical operations (1,000+ systems deployed at Nadro) creates sustainable revenue streams versus consumer fashion battlesManufacturing at scale—Vuzix's Rochester facility produces 1.5 million waveguides annually at 90%+ yield rates, enabling 10,000-unit weekly deliveries and potential silicon carbide waveguide production (the same exotic technology Meta claims costs $10,000 per pair in their Orion prototypes)AI-agnostic platform approach—unlike Meta's closed ecosystem, Vuzix allows BMW, Amazon, and other enterprise clients to run their own AI models locally through NVIDIA Blueprint technology for IP protectionThe "GameStop potential"—with smart money recognizing XR's AI-enabled inflection point, Travers envisions Vuzix becoming the acquisition vehicle for consolidating smaller XR companies, potentially reaching the $20+ billion valuation that experience and manufacturing capability warrantNews Segment HighlightsMeta Connect critique reveals $100+ billion Reality Labs investment yielded minimal advancement over original Google Glass—disappointing monocular displays that startups with minimal funding already surpassNeon app controversy pays users $800/month to record conversations for AI training, creating "voice gargoyles" that transform people into data input mechanismMeta AI launches "Vibes" newsfeed separating AI-generated content from real-world posts to address deepfake and authenticity concerns across social platformsChatGPT privacy settings reminder that users can disable data sharing through hidden personalization and security menus to avoid training their AI replacementsThank you to our sponsors, Zappar and Viture!

Grumpy Old Geeks is back with another round of righteous griping and eyebrow-raising headlines in Episode 715: Our Wizard Lies. We kick things off in FOLLOW UP, where TikTok is still the geopolitical hot potato that both the U.S. and China promise to sort out “someday, maybe,” while Wired's global editorial director explains how tech's growing political clout is playing out under Trump. From there, it's a cavalcade of absurdities: DOGE as federal workforce demolition derby, and crypto bros trying to turn Charlie Kirk's death into meme-stock retirement plans. Late-stage capitalism is nothing if not creative.Then in IN THE NEWS, Amazon gets spanked with a $2.5 billion fine for Prime trickery, Microsoft yanks cloud services from an Israeli military unit, and Palantir goes full lifestyle brand—yes, you too can cosplay as a drone strike enthusiast with a $99 pair of gym shorts. Silicon Valley philosophers warn AI regulation would literally summon the Antichrist, while banks whisper the bubble might pop before the devil even arrives. Meanwhile, YouTube toys with letting COVID and election denialists back into the algorithm, “SIM farms” threaten New York's cell networks, and unlucky tourists are finding themselves trafficked into cyber-scam slavery across Southeast Asia. Progress!MEDIA CANDY tries to lighten the mood—sort of—serving up everything from Elio, Tron: Ares, and Disney price hikes to AI musicians cashing million-dollar checks. Lionsgate, on the other hand, learns you can't feed four John Wicks into an algorithm and get an anime out the other side. Over in THE DARK SIDE WITH DAVE, we get furries on the DC Metro, Disney plotting your every park step via Ray-Ban spy glasses, a Ponzi scheme in RadioShack cosplay, and even a Jim Henson Company anniversary auction. We close out with shout-outs and sighs, because sometimes the world doesn't deserve a mic drop—just a slow shake of the head.Sponsors:Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

Is strapping notifications to your face the next frontier, or just tech gone too far? Dive into a lively, sometimes skeptical discussion on Meta's AR glasses, social media's shifting power, the fate of TikTok, and how AI is quietly rewriting the rules, whether we like it or not.

On today's podcast episode, we discuss our ‘very specific, but highly unlikely' predictions for the end of 2025 and start of 2026. Whether Snap's Spectacles will gain traction faster than Meta's Ray-Bans have, if Netflix will start showing users shoppable product placement ads, and if TikTok will introduce a GenAI assistant to the app with commercial intent.

The Automotive Troublemaker w/ Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier
Shoot us a Text.Episode #1150: Today we're looking at the story that led Lithia to become the powerhouse it is today, showing a sneak peek of an upcoming interview with Alex Lawrence and talking about Meta's latest tech.Show Notes with links:From one small Dodge store in Oregon to the largest dealership group in the U.S., the DeBoer family's journey with Lithia Motors is a case study in vision, timing, and relentless growth. Automotive News honored Sid and Bryan DeBoer with a Centennial Award for their lasting industry impact.Lithia's roots trace back to 1946, when Walt DeBoer opened a Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealership in Ashland, Ore.After Walt's sudden death in 1968, Sid DeBoer stepped in, rebuilt the business, and grew it into a five-store group by the 1990s.In 1996, Sid took Lithia public, fueling an aggressive acquisition strategy that reshaped the group into a national powerhouse.Bryan DeBoer became CEO in 2012, executing megadeals like DCH Auto Group and expanding into Canada, the U.K., finance, and fleet management.By 2024, Lithia operated 459 stores across three countries, generating $36.2B in revenue and selling more than 780,000 vehicles.Sid on Lithia's future: “We won't stop growing… We're trying to build a business that can survive even if the franchise system falls apart.”Yesterday, Kyle was able to swing by EV Auto in Brentwood to catch up with the one and only Alex Lawrence. After a sneak peek of everything the EV Auto team is planning for the store, including some secrets we can't share, he and Alex sat down to chat about what drives EV Auto and why they're committed to being the biggest seller of EVs in the world.Meta is pushing its wearable technology forward with the launch of new Ray-Ban Display Glasses. The glasses are designed to project information directly into the wearer's line of sight and could signal how everyday computing may evolve.The glasses include a small electronic display on the right lens that shows texts, maps, calls, and translations.Users control the glasses with a neural wristband that detects hand and finger gestures.The product will sell for at least $800 and requires a smartphone connection to operate.The glasses carry a six-hour battery life and weigh three times more than a standard pair of Ray-Bans.Early adoption is expected to come from specialized industries and tech enthusiasts rather than mainstream consumers.Mark Zuckerberg positioned the product within Meta's long-term strategy, stating: “This will be a defining year that determines if we're on a path towards many hundreds of millions, and eventually billions of AI glasses.”0:00 Intro with Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier1:45 Deboers Win Automotive News Centennial Award6:20 Interview with Alex Lawrence of EV Auto13:56 Meta Releases Ray-Ban DisplayJoin Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/
