Say what everyone who has an iphone or android phone is also wearing Meta Smart Display glasses? Those are only generation one smart display glasses, they have a lot of improving to do.

Gemini is terrible, it's trash especially after downgrading to the free version. I have to prompt it two to three times for it to understand what I am asking it. It seemed better when I was paying for it while it's free competitor models (the other 4) always answer me right away.

Or it's controlled by Dr. Evil tho the initial phase of it that's completely and 100% correct so we get sucked in and then Dr. Evil in five or ten years starts manipulating humanity. Sounds not good ... to the point of even evil ;-)

When smart glasses get adopted and Ai is always 100% right ... do humans become know it alls with the answer to everything always seen in front of them? Also, how does that change the way we learn in terms of going to school for 13 to 14 years as we do now....

Trump's https://America.gov says the same thing. It using Gemini and Grok which both also state the same thing. So cagey, I dont get it?

Love to see HN political bot comment graph like if and when there was a surge of them over time (US elections or other countries elections). Like did the Ukraine blowing up Yandex's data center(s) have any effect?

omg have the political bots been directed at Hacker News. WTH?

Indeed I do too as we have been conversing here :)

Yet i love technology and using it in novels I see many others will be embracing in time too.

>The amount of brain power most people use while having a passing conversation is << than the brain power people use while trying to solve a problem, or reason about engineering abstractions.

Ok got it never have a handsfree phone conversation while driving if it involves a lot of brainpower. Which is super subjective and id say talk to chatGPT to create an idea of yours and see if your mind changes on this topic ;). It sounds like you have not talked to conversational AI to create software yet. cheers

You think programming still requires a lot of brain power? Definitely not as much as anyone who can talk can create software, iPhone apps, etc, etc.

Recently on a long drive I was working on an AI agent network concept talking it through and after each push to it's repo I would discuss more and prompt it to make more updates. On Wednesday at a bar with 2 unemployed software dev friends they were testing out my dating app Ive been working on in the car/in general. They provided me feedback on the dating app and boom GPT made the updates in less then minute.

"Just because you can___doesn't mean you should," I agree with you, as I wish this didnt exist, but it does and times always change. I'm personally embracing this new change!

How so? For safety its the same as hands free phone conversations in the car which is perfectly legal. Also, it's much safer then looking/using phones (that's illegal) while driving, which millions unfortunately do now.

Also, talking and listening to AI for directions is safer where the Ai is like an intelligent person. An example the AI giving you contextual directions like that new mechanic you are looking for is next to your favorite McDonalds in XYZ city or town (provides context to something you're familiar with so you just drive to a familiar place).

Enter key? Just talk to the LLM, no enter key needed ;-)

Now anyone who can talk can vibe code apps.

Personally I vibe code apps while driving. I still have to test them once no longer in motion, so im thinking maybe humans are still needed for testing but in a few years or more maybe not?

Agreed especially if like me you have used chatGPT voice for awhile. Apple is so behind and Siri is so slow and times out while GPT on my iPhone works 9.5 out of 10 times. Almost 10 out of 10 when driving but while Im hiking with friends and we are talking / brining GPT into our conversations during our hikes it does lose connection (hopefully Starlink Mobile solves this in a year or few).

And they offer free hosting!

Unfortunately that's not what I experience.

What are your settings for Siri and which iPhone do you have?

Not when driving and an on my 15 Pro Max I constantly have to say hey siri after each time it responds vs. conversing with chatGPT throughout much my drives. Also, Siri is super slow and I still get "Something went wrong, please try again," 4 out of 10 times.

Also, my silly video shows just how far away chatGPT voice is where you can tell it to say things using different tones of voices. Funny one I tested this evening was having it deliver that silly 8th grade english to french translation in a Titantic the movie, "I'm the king of the world," expressive tone ha.

Really? On my iPhone 15 Pro Max (older iphone) each time i want to have a complete conversation with it I have to constantly prompt it with Hey Siri then say next thing in conversation. Is that your experience?

I use and have used chatGPT voice while driving for awhile ... here's a very silly example https://www.instagram.com/p/DecaL9Gx6li/ . Besides that silly example im in school now and give chatGPT all my notes to create interact multiple choice questions i take while driving. Overall love hearing how other people are using chatGPT voice and or any other AI voice conversationalist tech.

You can have a complete conversation with Siri back and forth like you can with chatGPT without having to constantly say Hey Siri?

I use conversational voice AI while driving and with the new Siri i constantly have to use hey siri to keep the conversation going.

Agree this should just be a dock/charger for iPads.

Though the sheer fact that in 2026 it's driven by Siri who is not a conversationalist AI, but still the same frustrating voice technology from 2011 is confusing they would even bother releasing this.

Sooner or later their lack of innovating themselves and just copying is going to make them what the Blackberry was when iPhone was released.

If and when smart glasses ubiquitious do all humans become know it alls with the answers to our questions always right in front of us? If so how will that change how we learn?

Indeed ideas are a dime a dozen—until "maybe," you blog about one and a month later watch Zuckerberg announce it?

Since fall 2023, I’ve used ChatGPT voice while driving (for varied uses), which led me to blog on August 14th about OpenAI's rumored hardware. We dont need another thing to carry but clipping it on our keychains would make the best sense (the idea i proposed).

Then a month later at Meta Connect 2026 I see Zuckerberg announce the Muse Charm keychain. A coincidence.. im thinking. I did later in August apply to Scale AI & submitted my blog post here.

Yeah especially when the Terminator(s) are keeping us in check ... sounds crazy today but the world is quickly changing.

Looks like he and the other Ai overlords have Trump on this train too.

Free money and universal healthcare thanks to the abundance of Ai is where "they," say we are headed. Thanks to Ai ravaging our civil society we are use to.

yes with UBI they say they would be offered too. I am only pointing out what the Ai overlords are saying.

I'm not talking about it as fan, rather just pointing out Elon Musk, Sam Altman and etc have been for decades and still are.

This got downvoted but i wasnt saying i am for it, rather pointing out what the Ai overlords have said. Ones whom we are allowing to run amok and ravage our civil society with moving in new neighbors (Ai Data Centers) that eat us alive from the inside.

Universal Basic Income from all the Ai abundance. Is what Musk touts and since 2016, adding working will be optional.

That's cool everyone is different and I have used my phone in my car since my first iPhone for streaming music and following Google map directions. Now personally myself I dont have to look at my phone as I am now just talking something similar to another person in the car - one who knows it all.

Apple Intelligence and even more so Siri isnt worth the disk space. Regular user of chatGPT's Voice/Conversational AI (while driving) and comparably the new Siri is training wheels Voice AI. You can not have a seamless, back and forth conversation with it, so I wont call it Conversational AI.

Now you may ask who talks to AI? Well this dork does in time I bet more will. Especially, for giving me directions like "That new sub shop is across the street to your favorite McDonalds." No need to fiddle with a phone or look at a screen just drive to a familiar place. I believe, talking to AI is safer while driving then us on our phones or messing with screens.
