Lorde slams Meta glasses as backlash grows
lorde called ray-ban meta ai glasses 'not sexy' during a concert, signaling growing public concern over privacy and the 'uncanny valley' of continuous recording devices.
musician lorde publicly denounced ai-enabled smart glasses while performing at the real cool festival, telling the crowd 'don't get the glasses' and critiquing the difficulty of distinguishing reality from ai-mediated experiences. the outburst coincides with meta's promotion of ray-ban meta ai glasses, worn by fellow performer jennie, and reports that the company is developing hardware with continuous 'super sensing' capabilities. the backlash highlights the cultural friction arising from ai hardware integration, as consumers grapple with the implications of always-on surveillance and the authenticity of human interactions.
