Did he just said that they can remotely control everyone's glasses ?

No, he said that when the audio command came over the speakers, it triggered the smart glasses of everyone in the auditorium.

So I just need to carry a loudspeaker with me to mess with people wearing these dumb things.

Yeah man, you can already do that by blasting 'hey siri'.

He said literally "in the building" but I see you hear different words.

[–] masterspace@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lmfao yeah bro, he did. Learn how the English language works.

OK meta fanboy, I see you know everything better.

Do you think a) the CTO / marketing department accidentally published a video that let slip that they have backdoors into every headset that they use to remote control them, or b) by 'every headset in the building' he meant 'every headset in the auditorium'?

Also, this is a meta presentation, presumably happening on their campus, is there even anything else in that building, or is it just a dedicated auditorium like they have on the apple campus?

It's literally just Occam's razor.

Ok Mr Excuses. Billionaires can do what the fuck they want, nobody cares anymore.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Did you assume they couldn't?

I hope many people buy it so I can activate porn on their glasses when they walk around in public places.
