    Can you use it w/o a Meta/Facebook account? If not, it’s still a hard pass from me. Not one red fuckin cent for them.

      I watched a bit of the presentation. The Quest 3 was like 5m at the beginning then the rest played out like an AI infused dystopian nightmare. Facebook is building AI “personalities” with real faces and predetermined personalities for people to go to for advice. They’re giving people tools to train their own AI characters for whatever purpose they want. Furthermore, they’re encouraging businesses to use custom versions of these AI characters for use as a customer service front-end on the internet.

      After that, they showed off ray-ban glasses with cameras hidden in the frames and AI built into them.

        The Connect is absolutely terrible to watch and even though I‘ve seen enough of them to know better I keep talking a look. It’s just awful all around.

      You can use it without a Facebook account, but I’m guessing the issue isn’t the account and rather the company behind it. I don’t see a way around that.
