A seeming eternity later, Meta has attempted to revive the idea with its Ray-Ban Meta glasses. While it’s arguably a significant technological leap over Google’s early forays

Duh, Google Glass was 2013. A brand new one that Meta pumped an obscene amount of money into had better be much improved to aid the government's warrantless surveillance programs on Americans

Which is what it is, just another platform for intelligence gathering that Meta sells to the government

...and not only are morons voluntarily wearing them, they're paying for the privilege to do so
