@gori1.bsky.social Difficult to do.New TVs have chipsets fabbed with memory often designed from same specs as phones and tablets. And the services on those TVs are powered by algos influenced by AI libraries. Second hand books FTW.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app It’s the American in me with the ebullient twang. The alts are nice to do and I feel unformed when I release 60% of my images-alt.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app There’s an entire channel of tactile AI for that segment.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I believe you achieve #AI4good when you transition to something like your corpus inside Obsidian, leveraged by semantic Smart Connections. And then share with a local Open Source LLM running inside a box in a nearby closet that uses less power than a coffee maker.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I am the only member of my family who keeps WhatsApp hibernated. I need FB for funeral notfications. Bots on Threads drive me crazy. I have to listen to IG bc my students never learned to blog. I wish this was a RSS thread bc I need to go meet my Zaps and doublecheck …

@hypervisible.blacksky.app Have you seen Chrissy use Hearview Glaases? youtube.com/shorts/rulE3…

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I wish more people were aware of the societal issues. When I let groups of over-65s use my smart glasses, 10% of the group want to buy a set if their own. I use the glasses as a way for people to talk to what they see. Often hilarious group chats.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I always get wet on lakes with those swans. And if the crowd on this thread knew I was on water with smart glasses I would most certainly be capsized. Or worse.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I record hands-free POV tuts.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app Do you totally dismiss “Be My Eyes”?

@hypervisible.blacksky.app Ro, Meta glasses aren’t AR overlays. You get that effect with high-end cars. And with HUD helmets I once wore as a flight instructor.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app If we want to stamp out this sort of behaviour, we need to get busy clamping down on people singing with the rag top down. Some of those bronzed blondes are driving down 101 with one arm out the window!

@hypervisible.blacksky.app Martin, you know they are clear or transition lenses, right? The only active environment is audio through the arms. There is greater visual and audio distraction from the dinner plates on new dashboards today than coming through Meta glasses.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app Transition lenses. And it is safer listening to pop-up texts and taking calls by tapping the frame of my glasses than reaching to a seat to tap a phone’s screen.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I brought ChatGPT2 into classrooms yesrs ago and thought dept heads would want to explore local LLMs but it’s easier to blow back with objections about ethics and energy than to seriously consider AI alongside OER.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I might start calling my Oakleys pedoglasses when I’m out on my pedal bike.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I haven’t been shunned or accosted while smarted up. Those glasses have helped me dial down a few instances of anti-social behaviour when ferol teens were acting the maggot on public transport.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I believe Meta and Hearview are two companies who have shown the traction with easy-to-use products. A company would need a cash pile to offer a cost-sensitive consumer electronics product like smart glasses.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I feel lucky bc my Meta glasses have given me 3 years of easy Spotify listening and hands-free calls and text messaging while cycling. The battery doesn’t last more than 4 hours nowadays.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app While you’re at it, could you ban all phones at concerts, church services, athletic events, and movies? Why do people want to desecrate reality by holding annoying phone screens up in the air?

@hypervisible.blacksky.app I have used mine since mid-2023 as safety glasses while driving. My visually impaired friends use them for turn-by-turn walking with audio Maps guidance. You can’t use a pedo brush to tar everyone using smart glasses.

@hypervisible.blacksky.app You know this is a growth market? Global shipments of AI-integrated smart glasses hit 8.7m in 2025–that’s 322%up in one year. Forecasters expect global shipments to clear 15 million units. Those smart Oakleys are carving out a new niche as well. …

@topgold.ie I’m also trying to extract meaningful information as visual data. In this case, I should set up a process to set aside 10% of the largest annual expenses. The spike in this screenshot is for Smart Connections.

@sm2n.bsky.social We should Zoom and chat about this. I’m tweaking a short course “AI for Managers” and was thinking that I need to inject “Playbooking” into one of the four modules that I teach. The training is best with Claude for hands-on but I’m making it work with Gemini.
