Soā¦ five minutes before I hit record today, I did something Iāve never done before: I pre-ordered a piece of tech that hasnāt even been made yet. Yep, I dropped $299 USD on a pair of Halo glasses from a startup called Brilliant Labs.
Why? Because the potential of these open-source AI glasses absolutely blows my mind.
In this episode, I riff on:
ā¢ Why I skipped my usual āwait for reviewsā approach and jumped in early
ā¢ All the cool use cases Iām excited aboutāfrom hands-free directions to instant meeting recaps
ā¢ How they could change my day-to-day life (and free me from constant phone scrolling)
ā¢ The very real risks: privacy, memory atrophy, and whether people will trust conversations when Iām wearing them
ā¢ The bigger implications: what it means for memory, consciousness, and even being human
Itās part Black Mirror, part life hackāand I canāt wait to try them out when they ship later this year.
š§ Hit play to hear why Iām both wildly excited and slightly freaked out about living with AI glasses.
