AI generated imagery of their product, without disclosure is not evidence?
let's circle back q2 2027 when these glasses are delivered to you.
If they don't deliver the product in the image they've shown, Q1 2027, will you admit its a scam then? What would it take?

It's absolutely clear that if they're using AI generated images, they haven't even gotten a physical design of the product they're trying to sell.

Et tu, dang?

You don't see how this is misleading or fradulent (i.e. definition of a scam) in any way? A realistic image of someone wearing the glasses that don't exist yet, without disclosing it?

All of the images, including the glasses, are AI generated.

Anyone who preorders - you are getting scammed.

If you're selling a physical product, using AI to model your product seems like a really bad idea. You have no idea if the product actually fits on their faces.

Calling it early - this is a scam. There's no way they're going to deliver that product, in that form factor, by Q1 2027.

Hiroshima energy equivalents is surely a perfectly and not insensitive way of measuring energy.

New York City uses 1 hiroshima bomb-energy every 3 hours.

Still makes no sense. People do not have an intuition about how much heat a nuclear bomb gives off, and comparing an instantaneous explosion versus a energy in a day is really dumb.

The exploit is called AI (or LLMs)

That's because HN is an echo chamber. Plenty of tech people use and enjoy Muse/Instagram/Facebook, but the would be downvoted if they expressed it.

"Up to 2 more hours than an M1 Macbook Pro" sounds less impressive.

I wish I hadn't read this comment, because now I really feel like a 360 hinge is sorely lacking.

Most Windows laptops have had touch for a very long time now.

The issues aren't nits, they're really obvious, even after YouTube compression.
60,000 employees. That's crazy.
> much cheaper to access

I'm calling BS. I use Kimi, chatGPT (Astra/Sol), and Claude (Opus 5.5), and Kimi is by far the most expensive in terms of tokens and $/work done. Using OpenCode harness.

This is not correct. Their margins are extremely high, (~1000%), and none of the factors you listed would cause them to have negative margins.
This has been known for a long long time too (decades+), its not a recent discovery. Journalism is just marketing at this point.

Or it assumes you have $5 to spend on the tokens for inference. Not everyone has the money.

You can do a lot with the Chinese open source models.

AI blogspam.
This is from a year ago. Millions of people are on GLP-1s, there's definitely not a mass blindness that's ongoing.

"mass distillation campaign" there's no public evidence of this. I wonder what OpenCode/Anomaly has, would be an interesting postmortem.
Nice job answering your own question.
Why do we poach eggs without stealing them in the dead of night? It's just English.
They hired (poached) a bunch of the top talent from OpenAI and other places. It's really not a secret.

One of my neighbors has this, I've always wondered why it was like this until now.

Why people downvote objective, non-controversial comments, is beyond me.
Re:Muse Wonder on Monday October 12, 2026 @02:59PM (#50061140)
I don't know why you were downvoted, MSL stands for Meta Superintelligence Lab, and it named that before Trump.
Re:Muse Wonder on Monday October 12, 2026 @01:17PM (#50059570)
The ML community has been using the phrase "Super Intelligence" long before Trump took office. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superintelligence:_Paths,_Dang... was published in 2014.
