Harvard dropouts to launch 'always on' AI smart glasses that listen and record every conversation | TechCrunch
techcrunch.comTwo former Harvard students are launching a pair of “always-on” AI-powered smart glasses that listen to, record, and transcribe every conversation and then display relevant information to the wearer in real time.
“Our goal is to make glasses that make you super intelligent the moment you put them on,” said AnhPhu Nguyen, co-founder of Halo, a startup that’s developing the technology.
Or, as his co-founder Caine Ardayfio put it, the glasses “give you infinite memory.”
“The AI listens to every conversation you have and uses that knowledge to tell you what to say … kinda like IRL Cluely,” Ardayfio told TechCrunch, referring to the startup that claims to help users “cheat” on everything from job interviews to school exams.

A bit too late guys, as glasses have always made anyone look super intelligent. If that wasn’t the case, why would anyone want to wear them? Because that’s the only reason I wear mine, and certainly not because I’m as blind as a bat when I don’t.
More seriously, their plan is to kill IRL conversations by making it impossible to trust anyone we would directly talk to?
Impressive. Sad & frightening, but impressive.
Also, I wonder who they will blame the moment they realize the hell they will have made of everybody’s interactions?
edit: typos
Sucks for glasses wearers who are about to be having a lot of blurry conversations when everyone starts to tell everyone to take off their glasses before they talk.
Yep, the first thing I imagined: how shitty would it be to not be able to see who I’m talking to… because I value my (and other’s) privacy I would ask them to not wear their glasses and would not be wearing mine ;)
